Y121 spotted from 196 running around their train on the Hamilton branch. No idea what work they have to perform there today.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
Y106 east by CH 146 in Kentwood, 2 GP40-3s and the longest train I have seen them with in a while: 8 loaded gons from Beacon Recycling, 7 tanks for Plaines, and a buffer gon.
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but Plaines LPG in Alto wants to go to a twice daily switch. The plan is (once they get enough cars in their pool) to have Y106 bring 14 tanks out every day, spot 7 at the customer (they can only load/unload 7 at a time) and leave the other 7 in the old MMRR interchange track at Elmdale. L304 will run out there at night, grab the 7 at Elmdale, and pull and spot Plaines again.
