CSX D70519 doubling in Rougemere @ 10:50, CSXT 738 on the head end and CSXT 3211 DPU. Dropoffs and pickups in Lansing.
Have they left Rougemere yet?
They just called an approach west somewhere that I could make out, so they have departed and id assume haven't made it far west yet.

Re: How Do I Get LSRC Roundhouse Pics?

There is a totally public walking bridge that many people get pictures from with the correct zoom lens. I will attach a google maps link to the location, it is on the south end of the yard and is completely public.
