RN Dispatcher @ 17:07 was talking to someone regarding the Geometry Train being on the NS at Porter & presumed to be heading east onto the Grand Rapids sub-div. And there was some mention by the RN about crossings. Does anyone have any info about this? The radio call heard was low volume & scratchy.
17:22 EDT - Currently approaching CP 485 on track 2E, lined up to the CSX at Porter.
17:25 - Knocked down signal @ CP 483.
17:27 - Hit CP 482, crossing over to CSX. Very small train.
