CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 6-25-08

Unread post by Raildudes dad »

A MMRR truck (371 air?) at the GRE but no inbound. Just the 1 outbound tank in the yard (1004 - anhydrous ammonia?). I'm guessing no action today. King appears to be slow, I'll have a better idea after the 4th of July when the RR bridge old abutment removal / road widening project in Ada begins :D

Shoo-fly? haha

Tom, do you have any idea when that structure was originally built? Early 1900's? It'll be interesting to see what they do there, as there's not much room in that area to work with.

No W078 to be found here. I must of just missed it. On another note, I saw crews gearing-up on a CSX SD40-2 on the yard lead. Looks like it be D717's power OR for a D745 later today.

That was an awfully fast trip back considering they were westbound into GR at about 22:45 last night.

Did 326 die in Brighton or Plymouth last night? They were in the hole for the X train, 327 and the work train, then the RN let D709 tie up all the tracks in S. Lyon to get 5 Gons older than old out of the house.

X741 is sitting past Lamar waiting to go west, per Jon Hall. Heads up to those in Holland as they may be leaving within the hour.
