Re: Gradient Chart/Track Profile for CSX Plymouth Sub
My 2005 timetable, if I read correctly, says the Plymouth Subdivision ends near Trowbridge, continuing to Grand Rapids as the "Lansing Subdivision."
The Lansing Subdivision is not listed in the 1984 timetable and is not present in my 2008 or 2011 timetables.

Re: Gradient Chart/Track Profile for CSX Plymouth Sub
It is included, yes, just under a different name. It appears that stretch of track, south from Wixom into Ohio, was referred to as the "Toledo Subdivision" back in 1984.

Re: Plymouth Sub Grain Operations Q1 2024
What about the MQT grainer from last week? If it were from last week it should not be in this thread yet. The only info that should be there are the Q4 2023 and the Q1 2024 logs. I figure I will put the Q2 2024 logs in this thread as well, and those will be released in early July. Forgive me, is th...

Re: Gradient Chart/Track Profile for CSX Plymouth Sub
Kind of wish it showed elevations along the points. So just east of Ann Pere is the highest elevation? Yeah, the layout of the graph isn't exactly optimal in those regards. It looks like you are correct though, the highest elevation (which I've heard called Canwell Summit) occurs just east of Ann P...

Re: Gradient Chart/Track Profile for CSX Plymouth Sub
Update, I have found a gradient charts in an old timetable I had picked up at a train show. For the Plymouth Sub and the rest of CSX's trackage in Michigan. Conveniently for you folks in West Michigan, the Grand Rapids Subdivision is on the same page but labeled as the Chicago SD. This timetable was...
