CSX Train Location Updates - October 2017

[Tier4GEVO]

NB CSX V919-29 is clearing Romulus, will turn west at Plymouth for Grand Ledge.

Saw a grain empty at Deshler this morning, that came up from the south and turned east towards Fostoria if this is the one. CSX 921 was a single unit on this train if this is the one. Was wondering when I saw it if it wasn't heading for Michigan.

Yup that's the same one. Its currently passing through South Lyon so should be near you soon.

CSX V919 through Williamston West with CSX 921 leading

What went west through Billtown about 12:30am then? I thought I heard this guy call out as Q335...

Could have been but I couldn't pick the Q up on the scanner

Something just thru Vine with 524 axles, 6868 feet.

D700 is switching Buzzi Unichem in Grandville right now.

[Tlout]

BNSF 5920 leading coal drag north at Riley St. Holland 10:03 AM. No pushers.

[Schteinkuh]

326 is pulling in right now. Power will cut off, and MU to the two engines in front of the tower (looked like a 3100 gevo and a YN3b SD40 of sorts) to go east. YN2 547 leading a YN3 52 bonga. 4 motor consist for 334 later.

YN2 7915 and 7884 are facing west elephant style on the west end. Both of them still look pretty good. Should go out on 327 tonight.

[BL2-1843]

CSX V919 through Williamston West with CSX 921 leading

What went west through Billtown about 12:30am then? I thought I heard this guy call out as Q335...

First, Q33505, CSX 3255+881 with 165 is approaching Williamston at 14:55.

The rest of the story, the crew on V919 died at South Lyon last night, and when re-crewed it became G-01305 from there to the Grand Ledge. Behind it was S33505 106 cars with CSX 7811 leading and 4074 trailing. Prior to that Q33404 went east by Howell at 19:38 with CSX 5480+5481 and 125 cars. Dispatcher had them taking siding at Brighton, only because there was no place else to hold him while waiting for set off space at Plymouth. They were there two hours but went east after G0013 and S335 went by.

Regarding Big T calling Williamston Billtown, my Dad who workied for Detroit Edison for 30 years, and worked right up to near Williamston, ALWAYS referred to Williamston as Billtown. Does this bring back memories. Haven't heard that since 1974.

That explains it knew that 2nd train had a strange sounding knew it was either V919 or S335, that explains a lot

[Wabash1070]

CSX D708 through Williamston West with CSX 4226 returning to Lansing

[Jetlink]

Looks like Q334 is lined up out of GRP through lake O. Not out on the screen moving yet though.

Edit: on the approach blocks to Fox now. 18:04.

[csxcw46ah677]

CSX CW44AH 528 (YN2) passed by CP 10 heading south on the River Sub at 6:12:22 PM with a crane. Not sure on the symbol, but it could be W052.

[Jochs]

P370-05 with AMTK 52 departed St. Joseph at 9:15pm, I heard them at E. Gross at 9:48pm.

[BL2-1843]

Q33405 CSX 547+5235 by Howell at 22:33 with 114 cars. They dropped power off at Grand Ledge on the way east, got delayed at the diamond at Trowbridge by CN, and if they had been two minutes later would have had a long wait for GLC at Ann Pere.

[Jochs]

Q327 through St. Joseph at 12:30am. CSXT 7915 and CSXT 7884, and lots of cars. Last car cleared the depot about a minute or so before I could hear them blowing for Hilltop Rd.
