CSX Train Location Updates 1/30/17

Unread post by SD80MAC »

D906 on duty to go and get the S392 that tied down at Plymouth this morning. Because of this, D708 will likely turn at Fowlerville today. K901 should run up to GR from Toledo sometime today. Yesterday grain empties were spottted at Webberville and Grand Ledge, look for them to leave in the next 24 hours. Q326 is at Livingston for Amtrak.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Approaching Williamston at 18:03. I counted 201 cars but the crew and the DD at Fowlerville says 203, Over 11,000 feet. D708 at Fowlerville when he went by.

Toward the end, there was one point I wondered if double-counted a block of 3 (I count in blocks), so 203 is likely correct.

Running an hour behind D906 with his 203 cars is K-90128 with CSX 272+7767 and another long train of gons with more large rock for GRP. By Fowlerville at 18:36. D708 coming to Ogihara to pick up seven scrap loads, leaving 20 empties there to load, and turning back west from there.

Wow they're picking crews up in limos now!

Meanwhile, D707 is dead at Kraft Ave at the east end of Fox.

Amtrak P370-30 with WHAT SOUNDS LIKE AMTK 66 leading east has a clear indication at Vine at 21:06 ET. 20 axles, 373 feet at 91.9 DD.

It obviously isn't (shouldn't...) be heritage 66 since that was last seen in Beech Grove after that big crash. Someone's going to have to listen to feed and correct me. :)
