L302-30 @ 15:48 Rougemere Yard/Detroit mark up with the RN Dispatcher sounded like: CSX engines #160 + 1 & 123 cars (96 loads + 27 empties) @ 12,464 tons & 7,177 feet long. He's building his train. He has work for Lansing - final destination is Grand Rapids.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
I concur, M510-29 had CSX 228 trailing, back to back with CSX 160. If anyone cares, CSX 228 is a YN2 and those series are fading.
M510-30 at 11:23am passed Deshler cam with CSX 5 (YN2), 849 and around 100 cars. Lots of racks, CHs, tankers, gondolas loaded wirh rail ties, and some coil cars.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. While a few stragglers might hold on with the way AC4400’s are being rebuilt their numbers are going to drastically fall off.

Amtrak P371-31 Clear 17 at 6:34am. This is just before the DD. They have a P42 locomotive.
I have no information on M327. Don't think they have gone through. I think they're trying to get a hold of RN dispatcher.
