G801-21 @ 19:35 Grand Ledge, Mi preparing their loaded grain train for departure & head east. Dispatcher gave permission for them to also work on the Main Track & not to go beyond the Ensel Signal mp CH90. Radio calls from him are very scratchy. He has CSX engines #520 + #3092 & 90 cars.

L302-21 by Howell at 20:00 with 4535 + 542 on the head end with 43 cars. I was only "joking" the other day, Tom, when I suggested that the DD at Green Oak was counting the EOT as one axle giving a bad count. This has happened so many times over the years that is what I always say when this occurs, knowing this could not be the reason. However, your information on this was very informative, and appreciated the explanation.

G801-21 @ 20:22 departing Grand Ledge, Mi mp CH97.8 eastward with CSX engines #520 + #3092 & 90 loaded grain cars. Dispatcher had advised "you'll be meeting one at Trowbridge (mp CH83.1)" and I'm assuming he was referring to L302.
L302-21 @ 20:58 copied his EC1 at mp CH82.9 for Grand Ledge Holdout/Lake Odessa. Proceeding west for his work at Lansing/Ensel.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - February 2024
CSX train I132 came to Detroit with UP "Powered by our People" SD70ACe #1111 train trailing second (per 'Heritage Units')! It was spotted on H.U. (by Imvalkyriee) at 4:46 p.m. in Lincoln Park! OK, will this power take an Intermodal Train south from Livernois Yard tomorrow, Wednesday Feb. 22? Where likely will this power take the next train? Illinois? Would this cool engine likely lead? Or will it stay trailing? Yes, so many questions! I have never seen this engine!!!!!!!! In August 2018 I caught UP "Olympic Torch" SD70M #2001 on CSX Q131 at Delray Junction trailing second!

Check out my (RLJ II) picture of UP "Olympic Torch" engine number 2001 at Delray Junction, Detroit, MI, August 10, 2018 (Canon 35mm S.L.R.):
