1:31 PM CST: What sounded like a CSX DD (missed the milepost as I pressed play on the feed the moment it gave the axle count) just went off on the Chesterton, IN radio feed with 532 axles, train length (feet) was stepped on, possible coal train??

This is a feed that’s on the website railstream.net, it could be a broadcastify feed but I wouldn’t know what it is, like I said, it sounded like a CSX DD, I guess I was wrong. Sorry

Grand Ledge grain loads assembled with power coupled up and tied down at the West Street crossing in Grand Ledge, waiting for a crew. No idea when that might happen.
Are they right at the street or around the corner?
They were several car lengths back from the pavement and behind the detail, but definitely still visible from the crossing.

L301-15 eastbound left Waverly yard with a loaded center beam flat car directly behind the engine which means a possible set off for Standale lumber in Grandville MI

Y121-15 eastbound off the dock track into Waverly yard @ 17:56
Engine #6461 + 3 loaded gondola cars + 3 loaded hopper cars

Y121-15 tied up in Waverly yard @ 18:32

I don’t report every train that I hear or see :wink:

Picking up 5444 on the radio at 18:21, I'm assuming L303 is headed eastbound thru East Lansing. Lots of static.
