The "Plymouth Sub" crew comes from Grand Rapids. Their only task with the train is to take it from Plymouth (Either Beck Road/Northside Pass or Lilly Road) and put it away. It rarely doesn't make it from Plymouth to Webberville unless something fails mechanically.GP30M4216 wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2024 9:54 amI’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:

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
The tie gang made it to Michigan City last night - made plenty of noise and shut down Roeske, Greenwood and Carroll, at least, maybe more further west. It'll be nice to have new crossing surfaces*, but it's a PITA driving around here right now!

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
An R job either tonight or tomorrow is going to get a set of coal empties together shove it north of the Consumer’s switch on the Fremont. The Michigan Shore will be coming to get it at some point and bring it north for storage in Norton Shores. Burner 2 and 3 will be down for at least a month at West Olive and they have a huge supply of coal on hand, you might see more empties headed for storage. Don’t expect to many coal loads in June.
