L303-06 @ 12:27 Grand Rapids, Mi job briefing with the RN Dispatcher: CSX engines #7250 + #513 & 50 cars (41 loads + 9 empties) @ 5,323 tons & 2,997 feet long. He’s ready to depart & has work for Lansing.

L303 past hall st. Going pretty slow

L303 past hall st about 35-45 cars

It is really hard to tell because the 1st engine is the only piece of equipment still standing upright. Can't see to much of the engine crushed, but there aren't many pictures out there besides the cars on their sides. I just hope most of the people in the train are okay when its all said and done. ...

Thank you JT, when I woke up this morning thinking about this thread I thought the same thing. JBaxter, I am pretty sure this plant gets tank cars. As ~Z~ said more than I think. I'm pretty sure he meant the new business going in. :) Yeah... I did mean the new business, but to be fair I didn't real...

Seems unlikely that they would ship or receive by rail, but it would be cool if they did

Ripped the truck right off of its frame

Z151 must’ve gone north and came back south yesterday night, as they were facing north tied down a little north of Sparta yesterday around 2pm

They weren’t in Sparta last night around 8 so must’ve been the case. All that was there was the ballast train with caboose, hoppers, and mow equipment

I found this today, and I would have to imagine this is going to be good for GRE/CSX

Note: so far as of this time, M327-19 has not ran. As of about an hour ago at the yard the engines were not turned on and it appeared like there was no crew. Wouldn’t surprise me if they annulled 327-19 and just have it run as a bigger 327-20 tomorrow morning and try to get them back on schedule

Loaded coal clear Porter 11:31 with BNSF6430 leading and BNSF9693 (Executive MAC)

That’s probably gonna wait in new Buffalo for 327 to pass right?

Is it likely l303 runs down on time today since their crew normally starts around 10 and there are now two sets of power in the yard? I would think that is possible for L303 especially how quickly M327-18 has already grabbed his engines from M326-17. But, it does also depend on crew availablity for...
