9:00AM Monday - CSXT #6413 and #2227 arrived at Holland Waverly Yard from Grand Rapids lite units. Not sure if this is a D700 which had no outbound cars or if they are delivering new yard power to Waverly, as D700 took Y121's yard unit #2048 back to GR yesterday.

Q385 west CSX 101 by Seymour

[J3rsdm5]

Detector at 39.1 went off about 30 minutes ago, announced nothing but no defects. Thought it might be D708, but kept quiet because of my history of predicting things. Haven't heard a peep of anything since. And yes, I am monitoring every listed CSX frequency in the wiki, before anyone asks.

EDIT 17:52, confirmed CSX D708, running around at South Lyon. Radio is getting awful reception today.
18:01: Through the static, think I heard the lead of D708 to be get out your pitchforks boys CSX 87. Will update.
18:07 Perhaps CSX 8017
18:10 DD announced 86 axles and 1288 feet

1755 EST D90018 EB GRANDVILLE. Q385 AT GODFREY WAITING ON ARRIVAL INSTRUCTIONS.

[trnwatcher]

Detector at 39.1 went off about 30 minutes ago, announced nothing but no defects.

If a DD doesn't announce axles and a length (on CSX standard detectors, anyways), it means the train ended up passing the detector at a slow speed and/or stopped.

I remember, this has happened a lot. Thanks!
A train is at South Lyon once again, headed west from what I can tell. Was downstairs and couldn't get up fast enough to hear the detector call. Axle count started with a 7

Late report: 1705 hrs- D900 EB clear Zeeland with the CSXT 8004 and 20 cars: 1 lumber load for Standale Lumber, 14 from Buzzi, 1 coil from Arlington Metals, 3 empty centerbeams and 1 railbox boxcar.

Also, two fresh lumber loads at Zeeland Lumber today.

[Dan Cluley]

Westbound by Trowbridge at 20:47.
Looked like D708 with 8017 running long hood forward.

[Dan Cluley]

Another westbound at Trowbridge at 21:25.

3 CSX engines, and a fourth that was red white & blue. Possibly Rail America?

[justin_gram]

Sounds like 327 west at Vine at 21:50 ish.
