NB clearing 7 Mile Road. Couldn't understand scanner. Whatever it was, it was not 322 or K906, so it has to be some form of grain or coal (assuming no odd windmills or one-time movements). The lead engine has "11" in it, there may be more to it than that.

Quick Railgrinder update: The switches on the GR sub have a lot of RCF (Rolling Contact Fatigue) and the crossings in curves are either rolled over or flattened out so they need a lot of work. They are just east of Grand Junction right now and are going to grind all the way til Monday morning and go off duty for maintenance. Either the switches have never seen a grinder before or it's been a really long time since they have.
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.

Was either grein empties or potash, with FURX, GACX, MWCX, etc., reporting marks. Unexpectedly came across it in Plymouth about 18:00 while running an errand. Didn't see the engines or have my scanner with me.Tier4GEVO wrote:NB clearing 7 Mile Road. Couldn't understand scanner.

Was that Q327-17 that had UP power? I caught Q327 last night at 12:00 going through Grandville with CSX 7710 and CSX 3281.
