Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars
Affirmative, L303-18 has those same 5 ZVBX gondolas leaving Grand Rapids. Maybe 20 cars from L303-18 came from M326-17.

Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars
Wondering Andy, of those 20 cars, were the ZVBX cars included?
Today, L303-21 had ZVBX numbers 625752, 625775, 625768, and 18021 towards the end.

Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars

Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars
L305-24 this last Friday had ZVBX 625750, 71, 61, 74, and 76, with FFTX 84022 between 61 and 74. I presume the FFTX car is for Ogihara too. 625761 had some fresh graffiti, I think those are the first markings I have seen on these new ZVBX cars. Those cars were on the eastbound train at Ann Pere, where they were shoved east of the transfer before L305 moved the first half of the train to GLC. Thanks Andy for confirming the others on M326-17, so these go out both thru Detroit and Grand Rapids?
The aforementioned cars are on L303-25.

Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars
These 3 cars were picked up at Thai Summit yesterday, picked up by 302 in Lansing and brought to GR. Switched out and sent to Detroit for Toledo and then to Pennsylvania where they will be emptied and sent back into rotation, possibly back to Thai Summit.Andy24 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 1:14 pmTodays L303-02 had 3 ZVBX gondolas in consist with leading CSX #3415 (Georgia Road Emblem) sticker on both sides of the cab.

Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars
This may be off-subject but there were several ZVBX gondolas in CN's Pontiac Yard the other day. Most likely they will go to a Ferrous Processing yard in Detroit (DCON) or Auburn Hills (CN's Beltline).
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars
L305-13 picked up five ZVBX cars at Ogihara today. 1053, 77017, 625757, 625764, 625777 were the numbers. Most of these cars had not gone out loaded since August but were back in the plant by Sept. 17th. While I do not always acknowledge the posts on these cars, I do see them all which are appreciated. I am keeping tabs on all of the older cars and numbers that are still assigned there as well.

Good eye AARR. It looks like they go to both. I caught the last car seen on this video when I shot DCON last week.

Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars
I’ve seen them on L507 before (Flat Rock-Flint via Moterm and Pontiac), My best guess is they probably go to Ferrous Processing on the Lake Orion branch.
