E950 was heading south at Riley St. with western empties at 11:00 AM approx. - probably around East Saugatuck by now.

Heard Q216-20 at Middlebelt, Stark, and then Levan before 2 pm. Around 2:15 heard it around Wayne diamond.
Sounded like CSX 7587 (or 7787) was leading.

I so wanted to see a 4 unit Q327... too bad, I will wait to the return on X500 or Q326
Re: CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 12-20-08
From what I was told they are the Chi-town Gensets. Don't think they will be back this way.TrainWatcher wrote:I so wanted to see a 4 unit Q327... too bad, I will wait to the return on X500 or Q326

Re: CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 12-20-08
Q327 cleared MA @ 5:10 followed by an eastbound led by an SD60, I missed the number tho. 2 CSX trains in 20 minutes, it was a great birthday dinner!

1302 and 1303 I believe were assigned to Rougmere. If they were assigned to Barr Yard they would have gone to Grand Rapids for Remote Servicing on Q326.

Zack posted yesterday that it didn't leave Chicago yet, it usually takes two days for N954 to get from Chicago to Michigan (Or Essexville in this case). I'd bet on it being around here tomorrow or even monday due to the snow.GTW6401 wrote:Anything on N954?

1302 and 1303 must be the second pair that a may article from TRAINS Newswire talks about. They are in Rougemere service.

Word is, 1302 and 1303 are the first two of a five unit order for CSX. The next three will be for Barr. At least one more CSX genset is currently being built at Paducah.ns8401 wrote:1302 and 1303 must be the second pair that a may article from TRAINS Newswire talks about. They are in Rougemere service.

There was a jet working in Wyoming yard yesterday at about 3. The tower was telling them they had the whole yard since the yard jobs were done and took their power to the house.

Do 1300 and 1301 fit into that 5-unit order as well? Are they still working around the Detroit area?cnw8835 wrote:Word is, 1302 and 1303 are the first two of a five unit order for CSX.
