Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
G126-19 “should” have CSX #3436 (solo) and 90 empty CSX marked grain cars. I saw a video on the train earlier on Michigan Railfans Group in FB.
The DD report equals 1-6 axle and 90 cars or 2 engines and 88 cars with a +2 axle error.

22:43 - G792-23 west thru EE Brighton with 3231 and 3086 leading 87 cars. (360 axles).
Thanks GP30M4216 for the information regarding the holdout dwarf at Lilley Rd. - I did not make note of it last time I was in Plymouth so I expect it was not carried over after the signal upgrades.

Do you ever see the huge 326s, or do you only ever comment on the abnormally small ones?

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
I grew up near Fargo, ND, where BNSF’s northern transcon mains cross. Dozens of trains a day and every one 100+ cars. Even the local shortline usually ran trains bigger than today’s 326. So I just find it comical that the flagship train for the GR sub is often so tiny.
I get it. We’re on a peninsula. It’s regional traffic only, and we’re at the tail end of decades of traffic attrition on the railroad. I want the GR sub to be successful and vibrant, so I guess I report tiny trains with a sigh and an eye roll because it’s a reminder that things are less than ideal.
