Q385-02 almost done at Plymouth, sounds like they're bringing 211 cars to Wyoming Yard.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates November 2017
A local (unsure of symbol) passed over Fort Street near Woodmere Cemetery in Delray at approximately 1140 EDT. Power was ex-L&N GP38-2 2616 (YN3B).

NB coal train clearing Ford Rd. in Westland. Too far away to see the engine numbers, but 2 CSX units leading.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates November 2017
The crew situation out of GRP is nearing critical mass...the extraboards are revolving as fast as possible, and not everything is getting done. With no new hires coming in and several people retiring, the crunch isn't looking to be relieved anytime soon.dave989 wrote:You gotta be kiding! Wyoming yard is stuffed!

"Too much of a good thing" is currently the biggest issue in GRP, it would seem. And winter is coming: try pumping 13,000' of train below freezing

Re: CSX Train Location Updates November 2017
P370 just departed Bangor.
Eastbound approaching Lake Odessa. Should be Q384 I think. Heading up to Woodbury with scanner to check it out
Edit to add at 2200:
8735 2498 plus two more units. Intermodal at the front, then a large cut of tanks then mixed freight.
Car sparking continuously (brakes set maybe) in the middle of the train. Doesn't look good on the roll by.
Lots of tractors on the rear.
Going to see if they'll get hit by then Mulliken DD for hot or dragging equipment. Really long train.
Edit: Didn't get hit by the DD and no sparks when I watched it roll by again.
752 axles and 11632' at Mulliken. Tail end clear the DD at CH 104 at about 22:30
Third and fourth units were 4787 and 5207 I think, didn't write them down right away.
