Ok this maybe a little off topic but hopefully one of the brain trust here can help me out. Has anyone come across the actual paint color name for the YN3 yellow/gold? I'm looking to repaint some of my CSX locomotives into the YN3 scheme and I'm having a hard time finding the actual yellow CSX is us...

Whoa! Just heard "L326" eastbound call out Salem! CSX 513 leading. So I guess the earlier 326 really was an S326. When they left Wyoming this afternoon East Tower was referring to them as L326-04. They where called at 15:30pm. L326-04 got near Fox Siding and had their lead engine 80XX? blow some so...

Anyone know the where abouts of Q32702? I didn't see it listed on Zack's post from earlier today. Also, where is CSX picking up the DSSX salt cars from? I've seen them on occasionally on Q335 but mostly on Q327. Was wondering if the pickup was at Plymouth or Ann Pere maybe? Reporting marks are for D...

Caught Grand Elk RR (Watco) 30x? SB at 32nd St in Wyoming tonight with 4124 and 4125 with 18 cars headed for Fisher. Sounds like they where having issues with their EOT. Dearborn dispather was asking if they where able to make it to Kalamazoo this AM. Did not hear crews reply.

X32609 - GRAND RAPIDS MI CG 1 03-09-2009 00:38(seriously, pick a prefix and stick with it, although this is good as q326 hasn't ran on monday's as of late) I've heard that 326 is mostly running as a veiled CP run through. CSX is filling out the train with traffic the CP is trying to move quickly. S...

Q381/Q389 are these reroutes?

Does anyone know if CSX has pulled the autoracks from Sunfield? I was down there a few weeks back and was surprised to see a string of cars stored in the siding there. CSX must have been running out of room in yards around Detroit area.

Zack,
I like the look of the new site, except that it does not format as well on a mobile device as the old site did. Is this something you have control of in the layout?

last I heard they are waiting on parts for both locomotives and an inspector that has to come out of somewhere in OH. Sounds like they've been running these things ragged and finally the FRA caught up to them a couple of weeks back on their trip down to Wyoming. They are using the GP38's until the S...

In reading through the STB filing it sounds like Watco is attempting to get around all of the objections that where brought up in the 2007 attempt to lease this trackage from NS. They are only leasing the line from Elkhart to Grand Rapids, with the right to use Botsford yard. This gets around the Am...

[quote="railroadfan"]Q32605- GRAND RAPIDS MI CG 1 11-05-2008 09:41 quote] Caught Q326 going through Grandville this morning. They where doing like 3 MPH.

RN told track inspector waiting at Grandville that Q326 is short on time at E. Saugatuck hoping to make Wyoming before going on the law.
