Looks like 238 is Porter probably just north of the junction.

Looks like 215 is just north of the Michigan state line, so New Buffalo makes sense.


The link is dated but mileposts don't usually change much.

D708 Has csx 2727 for power reporting clear ch114.3 west of Sunfield.

Reporting 116.3 at 11:11.

D708 reported westbound at Grand Ledge.

Yep, hearing a little more now. Track inspector currently between Lako and Fox. Y106 waiting at Fox for them to finish so they can continue. Needs about 40 minutes he says.

Releasing the blocks now Sunfield to Lako from his EC1 so D708 can come west to Lako.

Somebody just got authority ee Sunfield to we Fox both directions effective 8:48 to 12:00. I could only hear the dispatch side and kids were being loud. I assume it is D708 since they work west on Tues according to wiki. I also heard they were switched to a day job again. Well maybe not I just heard...

D707 03 Just got the EC1 for the blocks Lako eastbound to Ensel.

Q334 though Woodbury at about 20:45.

Pretty sure I heard Q334 02 blow the crossing at Woodbury @ 20:30. Never heard them call the signal on my scanner though. So I'm going to keep listening just in case.


**** I lied. I heard it blowing somewhere over by Lako the first time. They actually crossed Woodbury and called the signal at 20:41.

Q334 01 clear Woodbury 8:10. We saw it but it didn't make it in the daylight. 7594 in the Lead. Cleared Lake O at 801 so they aren't making as good a time as Q335 was with a dead unit.

Q334 01 just got the block EE Lako to WE Ensel. Looks like the kids get to see 2 trains today.

Q 335 30 with a very quiet lead unit cleared Woodbury 116.3@ 5:54. EE Lako @ 6:03 and WE lako @ 6:06 . Released the blocks @ 6:09. Kids were glad to see a train and the conductor waved at them. They really liked that.

loco 321 on q335 30 is off line due to low water. Train is in Grandledge area and still moving. No place for it to fit it stalls out. Dispatch and engineer sounds like they are going to try to keep it moving. Can only hear dispatcher on my side of scanner at this point. Dispatch says:" we'll keep th...

Maybe 2!

Q33530 321 and 7500 for power with 97 cars, running some 12 plus hours late, is approaching Williamston @ 16:30. Already has permission to procede west from Ensel. Thanks for the update, sounds like we get another rare chance to see a train in the daylight on the plymouth sub. We'll let you know wh...

railroadfan wrote: Your westbound at Lake Odessa sounds like D907... hearing them heading west at Pleasant St in GR returning to the yard at 10:18pm, which is a recrew of D707.

Would that be d707 29? I'm assuming it is since according to the wiki d707 30 wouldn't normally have left GR yet.

Q334 30 got the blocks east at 9:10. Cleared Woodbury ch 116.3 at 9:26.

They met a Westbound at Lake Odessa too but I didn't catch the train symbol.

D708 back east through Woodbury 10:05 ish. Q334 unable to continue. Going to limp to LAKE O and see if they fit and tie the train down. Taking the engines back to GR unless Lansing has some power to spare. Sounds like if it does fit it will only fit on the main. If it doesn't fit they need to come u...

Q334 29 stopped somewhere between Elmdale and Lake-o with brake trouble. Has an EC-1 for the blocks. Dispatcher let them keep it. D708 is working East of them while they are stopped.

My scout on the ground in Grand ledge reported a westbound movement at 7:51. Will try to I. D. on the scanner when it passes Woodbury.

Cleared Woodbury @ 8:20 but couldn't hear him call the signal clearly enough on the scanner to get an ID.

Sounds like it may have been D708 headed for LAKE-O.

D707 clear Woodbury @ 11:42pm
