Considering Q33518 did not make it by Howell until 01:10 yesterday, and Q33519 at 11:17, todays Q33520 was not doing to bad at all today going by at 15:05. On the other had, they had only one unit today, CSX 5428 with 90 cars, and had to leave cars behind at Plymouth because they did. And speaking of, D708 was in the siding for 335 at Brighton for 335 and should be in South Lyon now as I type.

How CSX moves. Tracking an inbound - CN from PQ to Toledo, interchanged to CSX at Walbridge, departs for Willard. Arrives at Willard and departs for guess where? Walbridge. Used to be interchange at Toledo and then to Plymouth and GR. Worked smooth and efficiently. NS isn'r any better. Car from MT on BNSF, interchanged to NS in Chicago, currently in Bellvue OH. Overshot Elkhart. But then there's a car in Elkhart for 4 days, supposed to go to GDLK.

Tracking 3 in route and all 3 are messed up :cry:

And they wonder why customers use trucks................... :roll:

q21621 sterling OH BG160
I've seen a few recent posts about Q216. Anyone know where this train originates/terminates?
