CSX Train Location Updates August - 2024
Re: CSX Train Location Updates August - 2024
05:50 - L304 west pulled a cut into the EE of the siding at Trowbridge and continued out the west end power-lite. They ended up returning to Ensel after sitting west of the diamond for half an hour.
It sounds like they intended to grab their EoT off the east end, but could not back down the main as CN took control of the diamond once they were through.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates August - 2024
Yeah it’s Tippy Cow. Multi tasking at best and I put Daily Cow . Only 1 GRE car, wow. Guessing the red BNSF hopper and the green Burlington Northern hopper wasn’t for GRE thanpudgy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2024 2:52 amOnly 1 GRE car in the train this time. The rest of what I'm guessing you thought were GRE cars were potash for LSRC handoff. Roughly half of the train was for MQT in their various customer cars.Andy24 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2024 8:04 pm
Customers at Daily Cow nearby had a great show, seeing a massive freight rush by as everyone was eating ice cream
Great consist of cars (6 ish potash cars, 14 LPG loaded tankers, 2 high wide loads of utility poles, 10 ish grain cars for GRE, 2 reefers for WMI, quite a bit of OCCX hoppers for MQT, along with high cube boxcars, short tankers, short 2 bay hoppers, and empty gondolas)
Did the ice cream place change names? I thought it was called the Tippy Cow...

Hi-rail MOW vehicle eastbound passing through Zeeland Michigan @ 12:48
Fun fact: I used to live right on the other side of the MOW vehicle approximately 90 feet from the tracks.
That was location #4 of where I lived by the tracks I am now on #5

Today’s L302 has a big block of steel for Chicago on it.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates August - 2024
L302-14 by Howell at 18:05 with returning power from yesterday's L303 with 93 cars. First 47 cars I have no idea what they were with a loaded product on flat cars with supporting beams across the center to hold the product up. Six digit number starting with 6046xx. No delay at Brighton today for hours like the past two days, I suspect because there is no L305 in the picture. Last nights L304 went east by Howell at 00:40, took their entire train to Brighton, left it there, came back to Howell power light, moved the 76 cars from the Howell pass onto the main that GLC left yesterday, went back to Brighton to get the cars they left there and put them in the siding and went back towards Lansing after 04:00. Cars they took back are probably the ones parked at Trowbridge. SD80Mac just explained the cars I just saw on L302 in the thread above.
