CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 3-31-09
Looks quiet at the GRE today. The usual Amtrak. One lonely car yesterday at the MAC in Newaygo. Tamper and regulator on the siding in Bailey.

You missed three east bounders in the one hour after Amtrak. I heard them while I laid in bed. Figures.SteveHiuzenga wrote:crap. I drove by the single signal outside Zeeland at 7:30 and it was still dark. I hate the way that lights up at the last minute!!!735am 326 or s326 went eb

Re: CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 3-31-09
Should be a G850-29 and G879-28 grain trains out there for, or from someplace. Not sure if these are loads or empties, perhaps one of each.
X500-30, CP9514 by Howell at 1335. Either the same quiet voice as Zach heard earlier, or just a bad radio.

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

Re: CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 3-31-09
Speaking of empty well cars... My buddy from the CP Elkhart pool says that one of the last 138's (i forget what the NS symbol is for that train) he saw was nothing but empties. Currently CP is only running like 2.5 trains a day each direction through Elkhart. Hopefully this traffic slump won't last long...PlymouthStationGuy wrote:Heads up Bob M. and all you westsiders

Re: CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 3-31-09
Drove past Rougemere this afternoon around 4PM:
X500 was sitting at the east end of the yard, looked like they were getting a recrew.
Some train with CSXT 7331 and another CSX unit and just three cars was heading east past X500.
Watch trains departing Rougemere WEST, CSXT 7496 in Big Can Opener Blue CONRAIL paint was on the Eagle overpass with another CSX unit. If they don't wye the power, the CR unit will be leading westbound.

Q326-31 cleared Plymouth diamond at 21:50. CSX 7885 + 8136 + 73 cars.
