CSX Train Location Updates - July 2023

[Andy24]

According to the dispatcher as of 11:45, M326 is still on the Barr Sub at Curtis so it’ll be a later day for them in west Michigan.

Thinking this is M326 lined up off Curtis as of 12:15pm. The red line by Curtis

M327-21 @ 06:43 made their job briefing but it was all static due to the crew using a handset (railroad term for "Walkie Talkie") that has low power & the Broadcastify scanner antenna barely picks up its signal (mostly static). The Handset hits a nearby antenna & then is beamed by satellite to the Dispatcher in Jacksonville, FL. Do know CSX engines #7259 + #68 are leading & he might also have the CSX engine #4070 in tow.
