Q334 clearing Woodbury @ 21:34

D707 30 eastbound is approaching Woodbury. Sounds Like CSX 6435 on the point. I know it isn't 10/30 anymore but I don't start the threads around here.

Admin edit: Merged your post into the 10/31 thread for you.

What si track speed in Woodbury? According to a timetable I reference online, track speed is 50 from about WE Grand ledge to EE Lake Odessa with the following note at the bottom: ENTIRE SUBDIVISION: Trains in excess of 7,000 tons are restricted to 40 MPH. Trains in excess of 14,000 tons are restric...

I like Woodbury . It's close to home so I can just wait for the scanner to come to life. Sometimes I can hear the DD in Clarksville but usually I hear them in Lake Odessa which gives me enough time to get the kids in the van and drive up to the elevator (I have an in with the owners :wink: contrary ...

CSX 8637 single lite Engine through woodbury east bound about 12:05. Last heard on the scanner clearing Sunfield at 12:16. Ran up to the crossing thinking it was a train. Kids were disappointed there was no train. Couldn't make out the train signal the conductor was calling but it sounded like a W s...

On the way home from the airport this morning about 10:00 am it looked like MOW was working at crossings between Alto and Elmdale. Saw a high rail MOW vehicle in the weeds near the switch into Alto Propane facility too.

Train through Woodbury. Not sure which one or which direction. Scanner is off (it bugs the wife).

Signal maintainer working in Woodbury this morning.

Q334 through Woodbury at 2020.

Great photo. I love the steamers. I did notice the two festive icons of our season in front of the smoke box door. Caught me eye right away. Nice touch.

Scanner has been silent since Q 335 died. Scanner just came back to life. Q 335 crew on board asking RN for a light because they are, "All aboard, ready to take this train to Grand Rapids." Their words not mine.

Thanks Jon. I understand what you are saying. So the train probably is on the main. This pretty common? That brings another question. The blocks don't exist anymore? So the EC1 is relevant only to mile posts and signal, switch, and siding locations? Not quite sure I understand. I hear RN issuing the...

Q 335 17 is dead at ch 122.1 Bliss road. Released both their EC1's and tying the train down. ? for you guys. 122.1 is past the siding at the we lako. But since they released the EC1 they must be off from the main. correct? So does that mean the train is in the siding west of lake Odessa and the cab ...

Listening to RN clearly but can only barely hear q335 so not sure of their exact location But somewhere between we lako and ee Sunfield if I can hear them at the house. Doesn't sound like q335 can make it to Elmdale in time. Y106 crew isn't qualified east of Elmdale. This could be interesting. Since...

Sounds like y106 is going to pull q335 home from wherever it dies. RN hopes q335 can make it to Elmdale but is skeptical. I still have not heard Q 335call the signals near Woodbury yet; they die at 1300.

3396 just got authority ee Grand Ledge ee Sunfield.

Somebody at ch 95.0 just got the further ec1 from the switch ee Sunfield to Lako. Train Symbol garbled on scanner.

Y 106 waiting at Elmdale for track inspector to clear elmdale to run around train to work Alto. Track inspector just reported west end Lake Odessa.

edit @ 11:33 track inspector clear of all tracks.

Just heard RN on the scanner reporting that Q 335 is waiting in Lansing to go west. Dies @ 1300.

CSX 2477 reported leading a train westbound at Grand Ledge ch 99.0. at 0958 local.
