Re: Future Cement Business Livingston

Heard that the old sand plant was being reactivated, that's good to hear its actually moving forward. D700 used to be a 3 man job because of all of the switching they would do at Livingston sand!

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024

They just got the GEXR SD40-2 within the last couple of months, as well as returned the 3414 to service after being OOS for well over a year. So now they have 4 SD40-2s: 3390, 3393, 3414, and 3484.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024

Some of you guys are probably too young to remember the boom years of 2013-2015, but we were running some absolutely massive trains up here back then. Q327, Q334 and Q335 were consistently over 200 cars. My record was 237 cars on Q335.

Re: ADBF/JAIL Changes Made Under New Ownership

The ADBF currently uses 2 GP9s and their SW9. The JAIL uses the SD40-2, GP40-2 and still has 1 GP9 that is somewhat serviceable. These new GP40s will replace all of the remaining GP9s. Once rebuilt and repainted, 2 will go to the ADBF and 2 will remain on the JAIL.

That is actually the Thornapple River Dr overpass in Cascade, just east of Fox. And you are totally correct on Schoolcraft, brain fart.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024

There is either no L301 today or something else going on, but either way, Y121 will be running to Grand Rapids with 2,800 tons of Holland traffic. Should be a good show with 1 GP38-2 climbing up through Zeeland.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024

Y290 is the second shift switcher at the east end. Normally does not leave the yard so you probably wouldn't hear them on the road channel. Any X90 series yard job is a remote control job. Remote control jobs operating in yard limits have zones consisting of certain tracks or leads. These zones exis...
