D802-27 @ 7:07pm eastward has a signal, main to siding, at the west end of Grand Junction mp CG55.6 He is tying down in Grand Junction & was told not to cut their train. There was mention of some kind of inspection must be made to the CSX pusher engines before midnight tonite (sounded like they were saying a "Q" test or "Q" inspection??) that was going to occur at West Olive but time constraints would be too late for there.

A "Q" is the quaterly locomotive inspection required by the FRA every 92 days. If the locomotive(s) need it, they can't be run.Tom49801 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 7:09 pmD802-27 @ 6:53pm eastward Bangor's Division St crossing mp CG60.93 with BNSF engines #5922 + #9309 & 130 loaded coal cars & CSX pusher engines #3084 + #816.

D708 was reported by the DD mp CH104.3 between 9:06pm/9:36pm with 208 axles & 2,913 feet long.
Today d708 went to Brighton. Between their run to Brighton and the two grain trains this week, those are the first trains to go between Howell and Brighton in over 60 days since a work train went thru.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: August, 2020.
Y121 has not run in quite some time now. Normally Stow would be switched by D702 during the day, but they must've had D700 do it that night instead.
