Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
19:46 - L302-27 thru EE Brighton, power was 840 and 984. Three yellow scrap-tie gondolas, some open box cars, and a string of stone loads caught my attention. I was expecting ZVBX 321580 and 625502 after seeing them on M510 this morning, who took the Toledo Wye towards Detroit around 01:45. They were not among L302's 96 car consist today.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
840 was also on L302 on 3-26, 984 on 4-4. Stone loads were 10 rip rap rock cars. The 92 car empty for Webberville this morning, that was G790 to start with, turned into G077 west of Plymouth. By Howell at 06:05. Crew had the train spotted at ADM by 08:55.

He had added CSX engines #7381 + #858 behind his leader at Grand Jct mp CG54 & continued on to the power plant in West Olive, Mi.
