Hello Tier4GEVO, do you know if they're running the CSXT 738 as a mid or rear DPU? Thank you

[Eric Berger]

At 14:00 EST...a short train led by a CSX engine headed up the Lincoln Secondary, at the Inkster Road crossing. Consisted of a CSX engine, one Railbox, and a short string of intermodal containers.

Seeing him answered a question that I'd had --- if they were still using that line for through trains. I'd say that the answer is YES.

D708 crossed Trowbridge diamond at 4:20. Scanner squawking says Fowlerville turn. Asahi and maybe RheTech.

Sounds like the next D706 may dump more cars in Brighton instead of Ensel for the next round of GLC hand offs.

[SD80MAC]

D706 east at Fox, 3211 leading with 738 about 2/3 of the way back. The GLC/Lansing set out appears to be on the rear.

Out of curiosity, do they just run thru the siding till the bottom end is in, then detach those cars, and pull out? Eastbound, that would block five major roads right thru Brighton's downtown, which I suppose they could get away with in the early hours of the morning. I'm eagerly waiting for Trowbridge to go green, maybe they'll be out of Lansing early enough for me to find out.

Either that or leave em on the main. Either way they have to set out ten, potentially pick up some in Ensel, then drop off a block in Brighton if all goes to plan. The crew will run out of time somewhere I would imagine.

D706-25 working at Ensel. Just talking to dispatch about too many long flats on the head end of their pick up. Sounds like extra switching at Lansing, they are hoping to make it to Brighton.
