Sorry, asking here, because this is a smart bunch. How many gallons do these Class I road engines carry. What are their fuel tank capacities. Varies by GE, EMD etc, so what would be some values? At $4.90/gal, a load of fuel is now much higher. What is the cost of a full load of fuel? admin edit: mov...

5:20pm, Fri, Dec 24, Lansing Delta Twnshp, GM Plant WB High Green South track.. Is this for Z194?

EB Yellow over Red North track.

Update 5:52pm- WB south track, 100% Intermodal cars, two CN power, moving fast, did not catch the engine #'s.

D706-26 @ 20:46 eastward was reported by the DD mp CH104.3 with 692 axles & 10,145 feet long. CSXT engines #103 + #5105(?) & 170 cars. Interesting. I guess I really lost track of the car count. My Joe Biden count was 178, vs 170 above. The engines seemed "old and tired", smoking and not full chant.

Apparently an Engineer in cab does not suffice, if PTC is down. True?! Or do I mis-understand? Re: Amtrak stopped...

Are there restrictions on CSX Main, South of Wyoming Yard? Amtrak was late into Bangor by 40 or so mins, arr 10:30pm. Now it has been standing for 20 mins (10:50pm). Or are they having power iissues?. Not a normal engine.

Any word?

Whats up with Amtrak north to Grand Rapids, on May 5. It was 45 mins late into Bangor, i.e. about 10:30pm. Now it has been sitting for9 -11 mins (10:41pm).

Also, did anyone notice that motive power was not the usual?
