Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - June 2024

MQT NB switching north of Turner at 1:00pm. 3 engines and a decent sized train maybe 40, but had to head back south so no accurate car count.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - May 2024

CSX Y297 around 6:00pm pulled 14 hoppers and one ADMX tank south from the Ann St yard. Not many loads were left for GRE Friday. The ADMX tank looked new, assuming from Amway.

Y297 was working around Ann St at 6:15pm. Switching tanks for Haviland and looked like more King hoppers. (6549, if I got the numbers in the correct order!)

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - May 2024

GRE engine is parked outside the shed on Ann St. and a lot of hoppers in the yard. Just drove through Lowell and there are no cars there. Assuming an EB at some point.

Y297 was switching GRE around 6:00pm and leaving another 30 for King. #6945 I think, was pulling cars west of Alpine.
Your numbers are correct, just wrong order. CSX #6549 been the Y297 main engine switching at GRE per scanners
Hard for an old guy to drive and get number in correct order!

GRE west thru Ada 10:56. Short train of King empties
Switching the yard around noon. Looks like they picked up a tank and hopper from
Amway. There must be 100 King hoppers in transit somewhere, not much in the last couple weeks around Lowell.
