Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
Unless my eyes were deceiving me I only saw 2 engines. If my eyes were deceiving me and they had 3 engines the axle count still isn’t right because the engine from Waverly is a 4 axle unit not a 6 axle unit.Tom49801 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2024 3:52 pmL301-07 @ 16:44 eastward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG19.1 Zeeland, Mi with 118 axles.

They made their way thru Brighton at around 05:50 this morning and have probably made it to Walbridge by this time as they had left Plymouth by noon.
Heard everything from the DD at Green Oak except the last two digits for the axle count. Somewhere in the 300s.
