D705 west at Fox 23:55.

CSX claims "no crews" to run K831 west, but will run it the long way and use 4 crews instead.

I'm aware of the 5903, but none of the other units are in the 5900s, unless something has changed very recently.

Since when is there an IN 5902 and 5901?

Anyone hear from D705 yesterday? I didn't hear anything for him, nor, was there anything in the scanner archives. RIP. Could be short crews on the east side with the new running of Q510/511 and also everyone’s favorite Covid-19. Since 705/706 run with Grand Rapids crews, that wouldn’t have any effe...

Here's my own shot of 4491 from 2019.

The industry in Moline is Nutrien Ag Solutions. They get tanks and potash hoppers, among other things.

The empties are spotted by CSX on the scale track, with the east-most car being left on the scale itself. IIRC if CSX brings more than 8 or 9 gons at a time, the overflow will be shoved over Pine St. CSX crews have a remote provided by Padnos that controls the traffic lights on Pine St to stop traff...

Very odd that these last couple of K862’s have been coming via Ohio.

Anyone know if GRE is running today?

Y106 east at Breton in GR 11:21.

D705 west by Seymour 16:27. Pair of GEs, did not catch the numbers.

D706 east at Fox with CSX 3137 and 39 cars.

D705 west at Fox 20:50.

D706 east at 146 12:44.

D706 east at Fox 8:56. I would say most of the train is for Lansing.

Man, I would to see a do-nothing company like G&W get the PM. Way too much potential business to piss away with no marketing and running the railroad into the ground like they did with MQT. Now, if someone like LSRC was to get it, on the other hand...

Wow, sure would be nice if you could wye a train and have another one go by at the same time. Oh wait, you can already do that.

HESR or whomever was sitting on the ex C&O track in Alma this afternoon. Had a bunch of TSBY hoppers to the east of them up the line. Snooped about Alma for awhile, found our old engine house and such. Neat to see track I was on back in 1978 still in use. Not much left up there. I see more then a f...

D707 does not run to Grand Rapids anymore and hasn't for some time. The farthest west they go is Lake Odessa. As for additional trains, Monday through Friday you will find Y106 heading east from GR as far as Elmdale, then working their way west stopping at various industries along the way. Grain tra...
