Re: Shortlines Train Location Heads Up - November 2023
JAIL in CSX Lansing Yard picking up three tank cars. Two standards and one LPG. 1751 GP9 facing east. Departing as I write this.
I’m at the yards west end and in the distance there appears to be a second JAIL engine.
821, gondola, 1751, three tank cars backing onto its own track next to CSX yard where there is a long string of tank cars.
They set out there tank cars and are now departing east/south with just the gondola
