395 is a YN2 bright future leader

NB TP&W light power at N 900 / N 300 Road just outside of Battle Ground, IN.
This is on the former Monon, but I don’t remember the Z symbol. The TP&W has trackage rights between the junction at Reynolds and the yard in Lafayette for interchange. Interchange can also occur however directly at the Diamond on Reynolds as well.

14:19 - U303-17 east thru EE Trowbridge with 5240 and 3447 which were left at Ensel by L303-16 yesterday.
Unknown car count, but from what I hear it is all headed to GLC. Not sure what they will do with the engines after.
3447 could be heard on the super-scanner early this morning.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Sept 2024
Those engines will stay put in Lansing until New power comes to replace the 40/50 combo. Apparently they are both junk and need to go out for service.amessmann wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 2:21 pm14:19 - U303-17 east thru EE Trowbridge with 5240 and 3447 which were left at Ensel by L303-16 yesterday.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Sept 2024
U-303 west departed Howell at 17:48 with 88 cars, all from GLC. 3447+5240. Unusual train number for an L305 train and unusual power as well. U303 left almost that many in the Howell pass to replace them. They will put the entire train in the Trowbridge pass. L302 right behind them with 62 cars. 707+5485 for power again.
