It's an outdoor activity. And cops won't be worried about stuff like that. They've got more to deal with right now.Saturnalia wrote:Too bad that I'm sure cops won't buy railfanning as "essential travel"~Z~ wrote:Per Bangor chat, N80023 is due to leave Chicago around 1am tomorrow, so should have a daylight train when it gets near Holland.

BNSF engine #6048 is leading N800-23 & went to Grand Junction mp CG55.6 to get the CSX pusher engines #3094 + #486. Heard N800 to Dispatch asking if West Olive can handle them since there is 1 coal train being emptied & 2 others waiting to be emptied & he was advised to proceed to West Olive after Dispatch checked.georgehmanning wrote:@06:24:58am ET eastbound N800-23 with 2 BNSF engines and 130 loaded coal cars arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.93

Q32924 by Howell at 08:52 with 449+5243+2692 and 76 cars. Have not seen 2692 since 6-28-13 when it was the trailing unit on Q33413 out of GRP. Q32824 went east at 08:15 with 425+3232 and 147 cars. Last 40 or so were stone empties to go with another 30 or so on 328 yesterday. 329 had a few stone loads yesterday too on the head end so let the stone moving system begin.

And now that I’m no longer near the tracks, I can hear something blowing off in the distance at East Saugatuck (I’m 6 miles west on 140th). Coal empty?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: March, 2020.
Tough day for that D700 crew, craning their necks to run that single GEVO long hood forward for 70 miles west, just to ride along caboose style in the comfortable position going back to the yard. This Q326/D700 train was by Zeeland at 16:45.
Lots of Holland/Zeeland customers have empty sidings right now. Waverly Yard looks like it has several loads for Lumbermen’s and a long line of hoppers to or from the Michigan Shore.

E800-22 @ 19:18 reporting on the move from Holland mp CG25.3 Sounded like BNSF engine #8996 + #8793.
