Re: CSX Location Updates 11/23/13
728 and 296 have Q321 right now in Flint at McGrew Yard. The FXE SD70ACe is in the yard too with the coal train that I'm guessing will go north tonight. From the bridge on the north side I can see a CP triclops SD60M and another set of BNSF power by the shed. That's power from 3 different countries !
