CSX Train Location Updates: October, 2020.

​​@10:25:23am EDT eastbound N801-25 BNSF #9725 & #8408 with 129 loaded coal cars arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.72

[MQT1223]

Trying to figure this out:
D705-24 ran a day late yesterday. Was recrewed as d905-24 around 8 to yard the train.

Supposedly there was also a D705-25 out late last night. Did they do an extra pickup at AP, Ensel etc? Was spotted in Williamston around 7:30 PM but didn’t get power numbers.

Sounds like the Plymouth is a nightmare...

Have you seen what’s going on with GLC’s interchange with CSX? It’s an absolute joke. The interchange track, siding and the siding at Brighton are all full of outbound cars for CSX. They almost need a dedicated train for the whole thing.

Does anyone know if the Genset slug set for the power plant at West Olive went out on 327 or is 702 picking it up?

@12:13:01pm EDT Q326 with CSX #756 on the front and 92 freight cars with CSX #856 on the rear arriving Bangor Michigan MP 60.72

D70626 had 126 cars out of Lansing eastward this morning. DPU was only 22 cars behind the head end with 104 more following. By Howell at 11:20. If there are cars in the Brighton siding as MQT1223 says, 706 could have set something out there this morning even though it did not look as if there were any GLC cars in its train. Was out of communication for 90 minutes after 706 went by Howell to know for sure. There were also no cars in the transfer at Ann Pere as of late Sunday, but GLC could have been there this morning.

It is currently in the middle of Wyoming. Might take Q327/D702 in the very near future

Q326-26 @ 1:21pm eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 380 axles & 5,190 feet long (trying to find out what his delay was from Bangor since the travel time is usually 20 to 30 minutes from Bangor). Turns out, there were no pusher engines to assist N801-25 & Q326 had used his engines to help N801 over the Saugatuck Hill.

[MQT1223]

Q326 clear Holland. CSXT 755 in the lead.

Looks like a train just cleared Trowbridge. Not sure the direction it was headed. D708 toward Lansing?

[mjotrainbrain]

Looks like D702 is putting together a train right now, right about CG4.5.

MIIIIIICAAAAAHHHHH

Grain Empty, now leaving Plymouth and heading west is going to Webberville. Train will hold at the west end of South Lyon until D708 brings a slug more cars for GLC to the Brighton siding and stuffs them there for who knows how long. 708 has not left Fowlerville yet. Far as I know, the Grand Ledge grain empty is still at Grand Ledge.

Edit: D708 leaving Fowlerville at 19:00 for the Brighton pass. Hass 71 cars for GLC. Grain empty will meet them there and then D708 will them back west towards Howell. V76422 west by Howell at 20:05 with the power SW mentioned earlier, and 87 cars
