Wednesday Grain Extra

On the way to "chase" the CSX OCS, we pulled out of the driveway and headed for I-75 and as we crossed the tracks I noticed the signal northbound south of Bridgeport, MI., was red. We waited and with in minuets a southbound grain train appeared. We ended up following it south to Grand Blanc, MI., be...

My take on the P00115 from Howell. Dodged rain and clouds. Ended up being the only photo. Got blocked by a UPS semi in Lansing and camera battery died at Sunfield.

Re: Dow Chemical Railroad

Semi-related fun fact, originally Central Michigan was going to be contracted to do all of the interplant switching at Dow. The railroad purchased the pair of GP8s expressly for this purpose, even. Then at the last minute, Dow reneged on the contract, and it was given to a third party. Something do...

CSX runs M200, M353, B??? (Coal to ???), and the C600 series coal for Indiana Harbor. This is all south/west of Willow Creek. There is also Y1?? that a few times a week, at least runs to Willow Creek from East Chicago, shoves around the connection to the branch, and heads north with steel coil cars....

Re: CSX color scheme..

Most model paint manufactures just call it CSX YN2 Yellow, CSX YN2 Blue, CSX YN2 Gray, same for YN3. YN2 and YN3 Blue are different shades of blue.

Re: GE Trip Optimizer

Trip Optimizer has always run the train, all the engineer has to do is get the train moving up to 12 MPH and press a button. After that TO will run the train using throttle modulation, power, and dynamic brakes. The preferred method per CSX rules is throttle modulation. It will slow down 8 miles out...
