Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
While everyone yapping about the Plymouth sub, CSX train either U315 or M510 is sitting in Romulus with 1973 leading the cheesie system heritage unit. Unsure when it will continue to Detroit. DPU is having major issues.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
Unsure. This was from a source in the field. I heard they were also setting out a car with a bad axle. Have no clue when it will depart north. Train has 823 axles from what I've been told.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
17:13 - L303 east stopped in the South Lyon siding.
Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 400 axles.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
Who is yapping about the Plymouth Sub? Pretty sure most of today's updates were on the Grand Rapids Sub, or Grand Rapids Terminal sub, OR the Fremont Sub... Figure it out

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
I don't have a clue who that would have been Thursday morning, going east, or west. Last I kew, track inspector was heading east from Ann Pere just prior to 09:00. Trailing unit on the B235-28 potash train for Webberville behind 291 was 539.
