CSXT Train Location Updates 7/28/2016

Unread post by Tier4GEVO »

One of two southbounds is currently passing through Novi. E660 & D737-27. Horn sounds different than D737 from earlier, so I assume it is E660. Horn is a K5LA.

Update 12:33 AM. D737-27 just read 44 axles, 619 feet at the Wixom defect detector.
E660 just passed 9 mile road, conductor referring the symbol as "empty train" lol

Update from yesterday on J021. After dumping on the Ottawa, they tied up in Waverly, with plans to work the Hamilton Branch today. Unknown how far down the line they're going. Their solo power, now facing west, is the CSX 4054 (SD40-3), and 21 ballast hoppers. No caboose.

D700 has arrived at Holland. Sounds like they're leaving a cut of ballast for J021 to take to Suagatuck.

D700 was Called later due to track work, and should be for the next couple of weeks, so I hear.
