CSX Train Location Updates - Dec. 2022

[GTW6401]

M212 is going to work Chevy Yard in Westland and New Boston. They have CSXT 7002 & 501.

Is Chevy yard the one just south of Newburgh Road? I didn’t know that yard was being used for anything these days! Are these pickups from Wayne that are pulled down (up) there for an easier southbound pickup?

Yes, that's Chevy Yard. They picked up 23 autoracks then headed down to New Boston. Even got delayed by a westbound NS at Wayne diamond.

L303-13 currently at Ann Pere at 10:00 getting permission to head east across the diamond. Was originally told the lateness of L303 was due to the fact "all" the power in GRP was bad ordered by the FRA on Tuesday and had to wait for L302 to get there to use their power to come east. Evidently that did not happen because 3054+4042 that was scheduled to be on L303 was this morning. L303 had around 90 cars. Except for one lumber load on the rear, there with a bunch of cushion coil cars just ahead of it.

301 clear Grandville. Looks more like the days of when we had more then one manifest up here with those big GE’s and all these cars. Wonder how the crew enjoyed switching with a pair of GE’s versus the normal SD40.
