CSX Train Location Updates - May 2022

[amessmann]

18:07 - L302 calling clear for CH 43.
18:14 - L302 getting permission past the stop signal at WE Brighton, they had an approach at the EE. I counted 58 cars but was one off based on the reported axle count.
(248 axles with two six-axle units works out to 59 cars)

Far-off distant warning I hear a train approaching Holland @ 18:00

Probably a CSX one.

Far-off distant warning I hear a train approaching Holland @ 18:00

W001-18 should have come in view of the Holland cam. I heard a train going through numerous grade crossings and I still haven’t seen him on the cam.

At 18:08 he said he has a Stop signal for Holland & is waiting just west of there. At 18:11 he said he has a signal. He may be going into Holland instead of the plan for going into Waverly.
