CSX Train Location Updates: January, 2020.

[C&OGP75745]

q15102 on duty Detroit. q13101 annulled.

Looks like this frees up some capacity to probably allow Q151 to take the Lincoln Secondary.

Not, Q151 works Oak yard

CSXT light power south at Riley St. Holland 12:15 PM.

N800-01 at Bangor mp CG60.7 at approx 08:30 with BNSF engines #9187 + #5775 & 130 loaded coal cars.
Q326 at Bangor approx 09:46 with CSX engines #3240 + #5299 & 43 cars.
Q329 reported by the DD at mp CH126.3 @ 13:20 with CSX engine #364 + 1 & 76 cars.

Q326 at Bangor approx 09:46 with CSX engines #3240 + #5299 & 43 cars. Q329 reported by the DD at mp CH126.3 @ 13:20 with CSX engine #364 + 1 & 76 cars.

Trailing unit behind CSX 364 on Q329 was CSX 516. Axle count at Fowlerville showed 404. Minus the two six axle units made it 392, or 98 cars. Figure is misleading because of all of the multi axle three and five pack deep well intermodal empty cars on the rear end. Souded as if Q329 may be going on the law and changing crews at Trowbridge. Earlier, Q32802 went east by Howell at 06:22 with CSX 65+9051 from yesterdays Q326, with 45 cars.

West Olive empties south at Riley St. Holland 3:04 PM. BNSF power.

[~Z~]

As of 4:57pm, per Bangor chat, e80002 empties near Benton Harbor, N80002 at Riverside heading east after meeting E80002. D80202 is at Saugatuck, likely putting together a coal load from Grand Junction.

BNSF 9187, 5775 north at Riley St. Holland 5:28 PM. CSXT 336, 3417 pushing.

[Tom49801]

N800-02 at Bangor mp CG60.7 at approx 17:36 with BNSF engines #5821 + 1 & approx 130 loaded coal cars.
Q327 reported by the DD at mp CG19.1 @ 20:09 with CSX engines #364 + #516 & 47 cars. He's working in Holland tonight.
Q327 @ 21:07 got his signal, siding to main, at Holland mp CG25.3 Not sure how far he will go, Amtrak P370 is, so far, running 21 minutes late.

[Jochs]

P370-02 is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like IDTX 4613 leading.

[SD80MAC]

How/why would P371 affect Q327?

[Tom49801]

How/why would P371 affect Q327?

They usually give Amtrak priority over Q327, especially, when Amtrak is running late. It appears Q327 is going into Wells siding mp CG41.4 to clear up for Amtrak. Q327 had reported an Approach Medium signal at mp 39 @ 21:40 (also, it's single main track territory).
Amtrak P370 at Bangor mp CG60.7 @ 22:13 with engine #4613 & 3 SuperLiner cars.

[SD80MAC]

Not what I’m asking. You said P371 might delay Q327. P371 runs in the morning, Q327 runs in the evening.

[Tom49801]

Q327 Bangor mp CG60.35 approach at 23:06 with CSX engines #364 + #516 & 41 cars. He had dropped off 6 cars in Holland tonight. At 23:11, he stopped at the Bangor Amtrak passenger platform & a crewman was dropped off.

Ohhhh, darn, that was a typo - meant to have typed P370.

Yeah, if P371 was still out at 7:05 pm, I think they were more than 20 minutes late.


Q327-02 is currently going through St. Joseph. Sounds like CSXT 364 leading.

N801-02 leading engine was the BNSF #9158 & headed to Wells siding mp CG43.2 to be tied down.
Amtrak at Bangor mp CG60.7 @ 07:31:54 with engine #4613 & 3 SuperLiner cars.

[Tom49801]

Q326 reported by the DD at mp CG91.9 @ 08:43 & will be waiting for some barge traffic to clear thru the St Joseph Bridge. The DD had reported 209 axles for Q326 - definitely a count error. Last week this DD had a +3 axle error count for Q326. Will be counting the cars when he passes thru Bangor unless we hear a rare report from the DD at mp CG66.2
Turned out to be a +1 axle error after viewing the train going by Bangor.

[BL2-1843]

Q32903 by Howell at 08:45 with CSX 3207, single unit and 54 cars. Q32803 went east at 06:14 with CSX 3240+5299 and 67 cars.
