CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 11-7-08
The GRE crew is out and about already. The lonely hopper (Precison Poly car?) is gone so I'm guessing they are east to sweep the empties from King. No idea if CSX delivered last night.

Yup yup..heard them get permission through some work limits near Wells, then clear Wells around 8:45am.Tlout wrote:Q326 should be getting close to Holland...
Also, MQT Z151 was going north across the diamond at Fuller at 8:40am, with GRE waiting to go west across the diamond...already done with their work east that early, or just switching? Think it was a goof, but dispatcher mentioned Z151 was on their way to Muskegon.

It sounded like the GRE was back that early (didn't look at the clock or actually see them). NS Elkhart to GR was NB at 68th about noon, pretty short train judging by the back up on 68th Street (Didn't actually see this train either except for a couple glimpses between the trees from 131 north of 68th)

That would be Q326... on the way in, they were clearing wells at 8:45am... at 10am, they finally got to Saugatuck, then around 1pm through Hudsonville... recrewed somewhere around Holland it appears.SteveHiuzenga wrote:What was the train that went through Zeeland at 12:45? 2 CSX up front, about 40 cars. I thought they said "recrew" on the scanner, and I also thought they said 327, but it was going east , not west. I would have thought D700, but I see it's in GR already.....

Z15106 died just north of VANS. Day crew was supposed to get the train from them. I guess due to the power shortage, they are going to be running almost seven days a week now. Good for us bad for the bottom line.railroadfan wrote:MQT Z151 was going north across the diamond at Fuller at 8:40am, with GRE waiting to go west across the diamond...already done with their work east that early, or just switching?

Mabey its time for them to become he next reagonal, or short line to look at new power. Hey bring on the ES44AC's. Those would look sweet in MQT paint.
BTW when did they add the Emplyee Owned below the name?

they might win, unless the die at fox, which is quite possible...departed toledo at 7:45am, so on duty at least an hour before, so yeah, they could die.
