Re: GLC Train Location Updates - April 2024
It has come to my attention today that GLC now has a dispatcher contracting company doing their dispatching. When did this take effect? The CSX dispatcher can no longer get in touch with Owosso to put blockers in place for a train to pass across the diamond on red signals and will now have to flag t...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
Head power on L302-06 was 5438 +7228. Being this detector is often one digit off, assume the count was 392 which would equal 95 cars minus the locomotives.. 5438 was also on L302 back on 2-15-24.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
Regarding the three G076 grain trains Amessmann said ran on the Plymouth sub, evidently these did not stick in my mind because I used the train designation they had when leaving Plymouth over the short generic number when leaving Webberville. The train on 8-21-22 I showed as G791-21, the train on 3-...

Departed east for MP25 in Plymouth at 07:55. G077 is usually a generic number west of Plymouth and not the num...

Have not been out of Michigan in four years. A total solar eclipse isn't enough to get me there again. To all those going, I say go for it.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
L302 & L303 met in Howell at 17:45. Looked as if all the loaded wooden ties seen on X510 at Deshler yesterday were scrap ties for GLC, About 25 of them near the head end of L302.
