CSX Train Location Updates August 2017

[SD70ACe Fan]

What's the chances D708 will run through East Lansing Monday 8/7/17? Thanks!

Pretty good chance considering they run every week day.

Ok, thanks SD80MAC. I think it goes through East Lansing (Trowbridge) around noon ish so I might miss the morning run but could catch it heading back to Lansing.

N800-01 going through St. Joseph. E800 going through Riverside . Sounds like BNSF 9153 leading. RN informed them of some sort of festival that they didn't know about going on in Coloma. It's the Glad/Peach Festival, celebrating it's 50th year (the festival.) I guess they forgot about the last 49 first full weekends in August.

Coal loads eastbound at CP Benton Harbor at 23:11. Onto track 1 in BH, SJ Bridge was showing a clear. I'm thinking something is dead on 2 since they're running stuff on 1 tonight.

Ok, thanks Typhoon.

X80101, BNSF 3932, CSX 970, with 104 storage cars went east down the Plymouth Sub overnight, looking for a place to land. Other than four grain trains and one local, first train since late May.
Except for the 61 TTZX lumber cars in the middle, the rest were all CSX cars. The more cars stored, the less to have to run trains with.

According to one of the D jobs there's a man laying unconscious near the tracks at 17th Street/Ped crossing downtown Holland...

Another D job is at Wells, crew will switch ends with the Q326 when they get there so they don't run out of time.
