CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
L303-28 had only two engines east of Lansing, 234 was set out in Lansing along with 11 cars per the radio. Interesting considering the grainers at both Grand Ledge and Webberville have two engines each.
The eastward facing 234 would be a good match for 3208, I wonder if it was brought to Lansing to give L302 a fighting chance on the hill at Lake Odessa. It sounded like Ensel was pretty full, I would expect L302 has lots to pick up which would warrant that second unit.
5239 and 234 led L302-27 to Grand Rapids yesterday, 5239 returning after heading west on X327-14 earlier this month. Currently, it seems 5239 is not paired with anything and hasn't moved from Grand Rapids since arriving last night.

234 going to Webberville tonight. G07625 called to clear it out. One of the motors at Webberville has mechanical issues and can't get full tonnage rating.amessmann wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 7:00 pmL303-28 had only two engines east of Lansing, 234 was set out in Lansing along with 11 cars per the radio.

In the pipeline is a B23528 for Webberville. Crew called at Garrett to take train to Walbridge, then will need a crew to Plymouth.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
Came up with it based on the profile given to the crew by management. Trust me, we knew it wasn’t the right load/empty count. But that’s what the profile said.TSS wrote: ↑Tue May 28, 2024 2:25 pmI don’t know how they came up with “28 loads + 1 empty.” The work equipment flats had no equipment on them, so the track machinery must be at Sawyer or New Buffalo.
The train had a bunch of tie gons, which could have been loaded or empty, and a handful of boxcars, presumably for tools and supplies.

00:47 - G076-28 heard beginning their work at Grand Ledge.
03:35 - G076-25 east thru Brighton with my count of 93 cars behind 234, 107, and 3460. Thanks Pudgy for the info regarding 234.
04:59 - G076-28 east thru Brighton with 88 cars behind 5479 and 5265.
At least 10 of G076-25's cars were 4-bay hoppers. I realized later that G077-22 had more than the single one I had reported. I did not see any on G076-28.
G076-28 will be parked in the siding at Beck Rd. CH 27 given the crew was not qualified to work south of the diamond. G077-25 will be parked at John Hix CC 87.2.

Your “U302-27” was in Wayne at 19:45. It was actually M268-27
Again, wrong here too. Gotta stop slanging them assumptions around bro.Andy24 wrote: ↑Mon May 27, 2024 10:34 pmI would assume either G790 or G824 or any empty grain train from the southern states. This empty grain went pass Princeton Cam yesterday at 00:47am hours with CSX #5265 leading.
For the Princeton Cam, I’ve been noticing it’s mostly G790s. For Deshler Cam, it’s G824s. For Fosteria Cam, it’s G126
Edit 07:43 I just drove past the Van Den Bosch feedmill in Zeeland Michigan and noticed the 2 cars that were set off on 05/27/24 have been unloaded and are ready for pick up. I would assume that Y121-29 will be coming to Zeeland Michigan to make a pick up today.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
I’m still confused about why these potash trains take the long way around. 4 crews needed to get it from Chicago to Webberville and that’s if the Plymouth sub crew has the time to run around at Williamson and then spot it in the Webberville stub end yard.In the pipeline is a B23528 for Webberville. Crew called at Garrett to take train to Walbridge, then will need a crew to Plymouth.
Also: The subject Van Den Bosch hoppers, if anyone is curious:
