Amtrak P371-29 with AMTK 90229 leading west has a clear indication at Vine at 08:22 ET. 20 axles, 362 feet at 91.9 DD.Jochs wrote:P371-29 is currently going through Coloma.
09:12 - Medium Approach indication at Porter CP 482.
N800-28 clear indication at EE Wells at 09:14 ET.
Sounds like CSXT 369 is leading Q326.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates: April 2017
Did Q326 get up Saugutuck hill? 11,000 ft. of train??! One would think
CSX would run a second section like on Thursday.

Last I heard the back 1/2 of 326 will be left on the main at Wells for a while until it can be brought to GR. Sounds like Charger train will have to go around it in siding.

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.

With 170 cars, good luck getting D701 up Salem hill from Plymouth to South Lyon without having to double or triple, even if all 170 cars were empty. There would be barely enough room to double the train at South Lyon with Brighton being blocked with cars.

D701 by Howell at 1:40pm and at a good clip as well. Must be those U.P. units are good pullers. 90 of the 170 cars were tanks. They already have their EC Form from Ensel to Lake Odessa.
