Unread post by ConrailDetr​oit »

-CSX Q305 was Soutbound @ 9 mile @ 11:15AM moving at about 25mph.

CSX C40-8W 7850
Ex. Conrail Quality SD60I 8750
1 CONX tanker

Q305 is always a very Short train out of Sterling or runs light. Lately

-NS GP38 local switcher @ Mound Rd Yard was parked @ 11:15.

Mound Road Yard got a switch sometime in the late moring or aftenoon because the GP was not there and the cars in the Yard were arranged different later in the afternoon.

Sometimes they kill the Q-304 at North yard the day before. The power at Mound Road yard are (2) GP 38-2s. There are three shifts working there for the time being.

Q305 is usually short because they pick up cars at North Yard and most of their train at Livernois. Once they arrive at Delray it will usually have over 60 cars.
