Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
An error like that would not fly on an EC-1. You got that right!! Onboard the locos, there is no way to mistake which one you are on. It's labeled everywhere from the number plates, stickers on the forward wall, the PTC screens and written in marker anywhere flat enough to do so. The 796 was facing...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
It was my choice to show them this way over the G076 designation as I despise using the generic numbers when possible. I opted to handle this with two sections on my spreadsheet, one for the symbol they used when running past us, and one for the symbol they had going in or out of Plymouth. Speaking...

Don't believe I have heard his before, if i means anything, but the load went out as G076-02. 14:12 - L305 was heard working Ann Pere along with GLC, the latter of which was visible from I-96.

Re: EMD Questions
Could be the writing on the sides was to indicate those liquids had been drained out, as a check against forgetting to do so before cutting began.

Re: RCO locomotive question
Looks and sounds like they are troubleshooting a problem on the engine. They are putting it in speed step "Hump", which is limited to 1 mph. When they say brakes are applied, believe they have the train brake applied on the cars to increase the loading of the engine. Counting out numbers is how many...
