Z15109 GLLX3002,GMTX2648, Dead-in-tow GLLX3003
Depart Baldwin 2139
Arrive Michigan Rail 0100

The 3003 is headed for the back shops at CSX. It has been postulated by my informants that the block is going to get replaced there. Either way should provide for some interesting photo ops while the unit is in GR.

Here it is heading south in the rain.

Looks quiet at the GRE. CSX dropped off 4or 5 Kings but that's it for the yard. Brush cutter working west from Lowell. Tied up in Lowell east of Alden Nash. Plannerdad says it's been there all week.

The replacement prime mover for 3003 is currently sitting on the shop floor at General Die off 68th Stret. It will be trucked over to the old backshops for installation.

3003 is part of the switch job on the west end of the yard right now. They building a train for MQT tonight?

AMTKchaser · Unread post by **AMTKchaser** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:05 pm

probably...

they were using the 3003?

Raildudes dad · Fri Apr 11, 2008 7:37 pm

I'm guessing the last switch of the night will spot it in or at the backshops. I'd wager a guess it's not running.

Gregg says that Q33511 is by Sunfield right now(7:39pm) with CSXT 61, an sd40, and a drone. Picture of the day he says his shot is.
