Engine 8052 looks like they have completed their Waverly work and are sitting at CP Holland on the siding awaiting M326 before heading west. Lots of Buzzi empties up front.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2022
Nope, L301 got lined through Saugatuck on the main. Looked like a bunch of Buzzi empties plus 6 standard covered hoppers (for WMI?) and 5 coils for Arlington. Clear 55th street crossing on Saugatuck Hill at 15:00 on the nose, beside a prosperous looking wild raspberry bush near the crossing.Tom49801 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 2:44 pmL301-01 @ 14:40 Pass Track to Main Track westward Holland Depot mp CG25.3 with CSX engine #8052 & 27 cars (22 CH + 5 Coils).

L302-01 by Howell at 15:15 with 932 & BNSF 9368 on the (head) end, but only 20 cars. Forgot to put "head' on the post, which would have saved a question if I had, as intended. To big of a rush to beat amessmann on the post as I saw he was on line champing at the bit.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2022
Thanks Andy, I'm quite happy with that shot, one of the first BNSF ACes I've seen.
Tail end of the train had passed me no doubt before the head end had reached you. I figured I'd give you a chance to post as I've been posting from Howell a lot.
Tom, is 513 running as DPU on L303?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2022
L303-01 didn't run in dpu mode, before they built their train in Grand Rapids they had asked the Dispatcher if they were to run in DP mode & the Dispatcher told them to give him a call on the phone.amessmann wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 5:14 pmThanks Andy, I'm quite happy with that shot, one of the first BNSF ACes I've seen.Tail end of the train had passed me no doubt before the head end had reached you.

CSX last year had made a rule, where, no matter how short the train may be, if both engines are DPU capable, then they're to run in DPU mode (but we have seen that rule is not always followed, like with today's L303).
Last month L302-28 had ran with CSX engines #7250 + #4228 & 21 cars & rear dpu CSX #513. The next day,
L303-29 had ran with CSX engines #7250 + #4228 & 49 cars & rear dpu CSX #513.
Last year, we had seen Q327 running with a rear dpu & they had only 1 (one) car.
