Re: Alco on the Detroit Sub
The ALCo is no longer in the yard. I don't know if CSX or NS pulled it or if it got shoved back into the yard but it's no longer on the interchange track.

Re: Alco on the Detroit Sub
Just talked to Bill W in Owosso today and I believe he mentioned that it may have been moved this week. He wasn't sure, though, as he does not work the train that would have picked it up.
I'll be out for a little bit tomorrow and I'll swing by Saginaw yard to check for it.

Re: Alco on the Detroit Sub
Why would it go to Saginaw? If they were going to pull it from where it is now seems like they would want to leave it at Cavanagh or even take it all the way to Jackson. That is assuming that the brakes have been repaired; but you know what happens when you assume.

Re: Alco on the Detroit Sub
Yes, B30 may already have taken it south, but it may also have been picked up by the night yard job and taken to Saginaw yard. The only way to know for sure is to check.
Re: Alco on the Detroit Sub
I don't understand why it went on Q327 to Lansing, then down on B30? to begin with. It's gotta go to Tennessee, so why not south on a train to Toledo such as Q216, Q399, or something else?
