Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023

Y121 worked Zeeland eastbound a bit ago, then just ran to Hudsonville siding to run around their train and head back west, and just hit the Zeeland detector westbound with 12 axles. Normally, they bring their caboose along and shove either to or from Zeeland (depending on their work) protected by th...

Y121-27 @ 11:19 westward backing into Holland’s Dock Track mp CG25.0 with: OLS Caboose & 9 empty Gons & CSX engine #6137 & shoving.
It looked like they were going to pull at least 3 scrap loads back to the yard. I couldn’t stick around to see if they doubled anything up. 📸

12:55 Y121 in Zeeland pulling one empty centerbeam from Zeeland Lumber, with CSXT 6137. They also had their caboose and a loaded bulkhead flatcar. Given that Z Lumber only gets loads in centerbeams, I suspect Y121’s next move will be down the Hamilton Branch to drop the bulkhead at Lumberman’s.

Re: Carleton, MI

I’ve often seen reports of the IORY coming up to Flat Rock on Saturdays. Not sure what their weekday schedule looks like. Otherwise, your CSX symbols look pretty decent. This time of year, it’s also possible you might get an oddball grain train on the CSX side, too. Also, does the L314 Wixom-Walbrid...

Re: Michigan Rail business news redux

I swung down Industrial Drive to scope out Coastal Container’s new spur. The Industrial crossing is open now and all work looks to be completed….except for the derail. The derail is located near where the siding joins the GR Subdivision. It’s a heavy duty switch point style derail. It looks like a l...

Re: CN Dearborn Sub

I was looking at the Wiki but some of the information looks out of date. What customers are presently served on the CN Dearborn Branch? Does CN handle any of the steel coming in or out of Cliffs Dearborn or do they just handle frames, stampings and finished autos from The Rouge? Does Woodhaven Ford ...

Re: Delray,

CN is (or was) getting two coke trains. 1. A shuttle to Rouge Steel (hard to believe CN would take something this short a distance) 2. Another one that went to a mill in IN or East Chicago. Do Coke trains still come off Zug Island onto the Boat Yard Line? In the past these have been handled by both...

Re: Delray,

Do Coke trains still come off Zug Island onto the Boat Yard Line? In the past these have been handled by both CSX and NS; I’m not sure who does what at this moment or if either of them have the traffic. Coke could also go south over the DCRR to the CN. Csx local y194 and the NS local for the Boat Ya...

Re: DSR Catenary Vs. Q-Line Catenary

The Q Line vehicles run on 750v DC energized catenary when the pantographs are raised. I. DSR days, the system was powered by street railway standard 600v DC traction power.
