It malfunctioned when L301-12 was there at 16:56 the right gate arm ended up touching the ground & pumping up & down after L301 cleared off of the Island Circuit, the other gate armed had restored to its normal position. No vehicle had gone around the gates when the crossing 1st activated - CSX was called & notified.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2024
M326 (and 327) gets on NS at East Curtis, CP 497 on the NS. There is no way to get from the Porter Branch to the GR Sub at Porter without a backup move.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2024
All Grand Rapids trains heading for Chicago (M327/326 and Coal Empties/Loads) get on the NS at CP 482. Trains destined for the Barr Sub get off the NS at CP 497 (Near East Curtis) and continue on to their destination either Barr Yard or the BNSF connection off the Blue Island Sub. Coal trains can go all the way west to NS CP 509 and get on to the BRC at the connection track there. Loaded coal also can take the BRC getting off the Blue Island just outside the 75th St Jct. and getting back on the NS at CP 509.Tom49801 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 9:47 amM326-13 @ 09:40:37 eastward Bangor, Mi Division St crossing mp CG60.93 cam.

Now it's snowing fairly heavily.
