:( https://youtu.be/4_-Ys_1LMaU?si=SdUXcdNunBr22nF3 That link doesn't prove that the body found in Boone Lake was his. However, it was later confirmed to be him. R.I.P. Shoestring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTvD30avmgY I know. It’s why it was only presented with a sad emoji. But we knew even ...

Someone at NS inadvertently steered one into the Lehigh River today.

My vote went to CSX but I read the Shortline almost as often.

...Crew had told Dispatch the BNSF #8108 is a 4 traction motor (per wheel truck) type engine & the Saugatuck Hill might be an issue with the wet tracks.

Did C800 make it up the hill ok?

Hearing a horn blowing loud and clear to the east of me at several crossings in the GR area right now. Surely it can't be 302 already, is it?

L303 east with CSX 66, 461, and 8619 east by Breton Ave in GR at 13:10. Didn’t get a car count but I would guess right around 100.

Sweet, I’m in Lake O measuring up a job. I’ll hang out and catch it with my drone.

Even though it has just been reported twice, I had to chime in to say seeing D705 go west a few minutes ago in darkness at Howell, this was my first true test after having a second cataract surgery yesterday on my left eye after having my right eye done only a week ago. Have had to wear prescriptio...

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 2:56pm. HLCX 3824, WAMX 4125, and 14 cars.

Any idea if 303 is headed South yet?

Yes, was eating dinner when it went by at 6:10.

Awesome thank you! I caught it heading through Wayland.

D706-13 @ 15:31 eastward reported from the east end of Fox mp CH141.8 with CSX engines #3356 + #249 (no train mark up was heard).

I watched it go past my facility at 36th St in Kentwood just before WE Fox. It wasn’t very long at all.

Admin - please allow. I’d like this post to be a concentrated heads up thread for the CSX OCS Train that will be running thru Michigan on Wednesday, August 25th, 2021. This is the first time in seven years that this train has been through Michigan and it will be quite exciting/foamy out there. What...

Coal empties west at Glenlord Rd. in Stevensville. With Tom on vacation (?), we all have to work a little harder. He claims to be retired Amtrak signal department. But with his remote surveillance skills, I suspect he is ex-CIA and the Amtrak thing is just a cover. I completely agree with this asse...
