18:47 - L303 calling clear for EE Brighton, 5333 leading. They seem to have met L302 here and are complaining about the single set of power on the rotation.

Did you happen to catch what the power was for L302?

With 8903 and 3375 gone, what will L302 and L303 use now? From the looks of it, all they have is 5333 from L302. However since L303 didn't run yesterday to my knowledge, today's should have a lot more to haul which could be an issue for a single locomotive. With nothing left from L303 in Rougemere f...

18:19 - G126-11 calling a clear pair for Brighton. They are headed to Grand Rapids, not sure where after that.
18:23 - G126-11 calling clear for CH 49.
18:28 - G126-11 calling clear for CH 51.
Second unit looks like a Tier 4 EMD, 8905?

8905 is one of 10 ST70AH s from CSX

20:14 - L303-11 clear EE South Lyon. Did anyone see the writing in white Letters "spirit of cecil Christopher"? It almost looked like a decal a railfan would have put on. It's placed right next to the DP decal. Probably done with a streaker... maybe a markal I managed to find only this link so far:...

M326 was annulled in Chicago due to no available power. Either M327 or L303 in GR today (6/5) will be annulled as a result.

After what happened with 69 and 4008, can they really afford to annul L303?

10:20pm - L302-04 clear EE South Lyon. CSX 588 + ? + ? Leading. He had 2 gevos and another 6 axle Stand Duty trailing. Couldn't make out locomotive numbers in the dark. 574 Axles, 7895 feet long. If anyone can find out the last unit on L302, please inform me. It appeared to be a 6XXX unit with 6 ax...

CSXT #2509 Doing work in Plymouth today. ID unknown, but I presume whatever D738 was changed to. Clear Farmer St NB @ 10:56

CSX Grain NB through Wixom at 21:00, main to siding after Wixom Road. CSXT #450 + #3049

Mostly CSXT grain express hoppers with some older CSXT hoppers thrown in there

Unknown train ID backing up into North Yard in Plymouth @10:55. Switched from East track to West track after Farmer Street heading North. A single empty center beam coupled to the long hood end of CSXT #6143.

Does CSX not care about what this does to our CSX Train Symbol Wiki page? The amount of time people take to edit the list to keep it up to date, and they decide to just rework their symbols.... Boo hiss CSX! http://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/CSX_Train_Symbols I may have missed it somewhere, but...

Today, after working a swim meet in Brighton, I had to run into town. This took me across the CSX mainline and siding just east of the east end of the siding. I noticed a green signal indication for an EB on the main, and a flashing EOT in the distance to the west of the crossing. After running to ...

D706 clearing South Lyon as of 16:51

Was stuck in the office too late today to catch the DD for D706. Sounds like D706 and D705 met in South Lyon. D705 is westbound out of the siding at 17:57. For D705, the Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 180 axles, 2666 feet. 42 cars. Again? Its been happening more times than usual. Good to see those swi...

Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but when I send a PM and then make a post, I get the "You cannot send a post so soon after your last" despite it being a PM and in a completely different page.

The coupler modification is a good idea. I thought the top loops looked tight. I believe you that the auto racks are negotiating the top loop turns with no problem but I agree with Chip that it looks tight. I had Micah modify the couplers so that they could move back and forth more. .....however th...

Instant Replay of yesterday, D708 left cars parked on the main for GLC, picked up cars from GLC in the Howell pass and took them to Brighton to run around it. D706 arrived in Howell at 4:45pm and is currently taking his 94 car train through the pass around the cars on the main. South Lyon boys will...
