Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
RN Dispatcher had contacted them @ 16:19 about tying down & taking a cab to Toledo. There was trouble with the indication for a switch at Romulus mp D19.0 & the Conductor was instructed to place the switch in manual, operate it a couple of times, and then restore it to power mode - this had cleared the trouble & they were back on their way. They were told they would be tying down on a pass track at a location I couldn't quite understand: "Welly, Willion" & has me wondering if the Dispatcher was referring to Williamston at mp CH71.5
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
Wick? Wayne? Lilley Rd. (CC 83.06) perhaps? I have seen them park trains there. Google maps calls it S. Mill St. where they park trains just south of the road, adjacent to a gravel lot. That is the last spot one could park without blocking crossings until the end of the "siding" at CC 82.5 "NE Plymouth."
I expect G126 sits at Beck Rd. and Lilley Rd. is the next best spot to park, though they have 10,000 feet between Beck Rd. and the diamond.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
The lumber is being set off into Hartford, but, I have no idea who the customer is. Hopefully, our railroadfan member SD80MAC can enlighten us.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
There used to be a holdout dwarf signal on the siding at the Lilley Road crossing specifically for this purpose. With the safetrans signal upgrades from several years ago, I’m not sure if there is a replacement there or if it was simply eliminated.amessmann wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 6:40 pmWick? Wayne?
