17:10 CT: Eastbound at Michigan City

Sounds like 326

I regularly rip the skin off of my face when I watch the NS Chicago west dispatcher run the railroad, but it's good to hear there's been a day that it didn't burn to the ground

At this point we might as well give 370/371 its own thread! Goodness gracious!

Amtrak Update in the Amtrak Threads...makes perfect sense. If a visitor comes here looking for Amtrak updates, they will never think to look in the CSX threads for it.

Who

It's a movement on the CSX Grand Rapids subdivision. I do not see why we are overcomplicating things. The system we have is used for a reason, we aren't just being cpmy-ish and refusing to innovate.

Amtrak P371-24 @ 08:23 westward reported by the Defect Detector site mp CG91.9 in St. Joseph, Mi with 20 axles & 395 feet long. IDTX engine #4606 & 4 cars.

That is a CSX train symbol and movement by definition, please relocate to CSX thread

L302-10 past Fox (GRR) at 10:20pm. CSX Eng 5334 lead, CSX 769 trail.

Sounds like they're wying the power. I hear a K5. Amtrak isn't here yet, and 6504 was on 297. So it's gotta be them.

Definitely sounds like a good hire. Future looks pretty bright for SRI right now! I never thought I'd say that two years ago.

Just saw some close up photos this morning on an aviation forum. Sure looks like the vertical stabilizer (tail) is missing in the nose dive video.

Starting to sound like a MX issue, if that's the case. Wild to believe something that vital would just /fall off/

But if they do have problems with them, why do the chargers have them?

What

I was watching this video… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9bXgmkBIYeA Just curious, Why did the P40’s back then have flashing strobe lights but no flashing ditchlights but the Charger locomotives now have flashing strobe lights AND flashing ditchlights? On a side note: those 1st gen K5LA’s in that v...

Loaded coal train coming east off the Chicago line in about 10min

Per reliable source, C&M 7014 is on the ground at the farm crossing east of Marne. 13:40 ET: confirmed, just minor, on the ground on the crossing at Triicks Farm. Sounds like they stopped trying to drag it back on. I assume some west shore cranes are probably on the way to Penn Jct. To quote the ra...

Tom, when 371 passes you, see if the lights are on in the cars, if they aren’t then the leader had an issue with its head end power generator. That would certainly be a reason to deadhead the train. If they are on, welp, I don’t know. HEP generator wasn't the issue, the prime mover wouldn't even sp...

Sounds like 7793 in charge of 327 this morning. 371 about ready to knock down Lamar
