CSX Train Location Updates March 2018

[Jochs]

Q327-23 is currently stopped in Benton Harbor with air problems with the same car. Sounds like they're going to leave that car and the 8 behind it on #1 track in Benton Harbor and rehang their EOT to proceed west. They can't move the train with only 60 lbs of air apparently. D700 will probably have to put the bad order in the siding in Benton Harbor and do whatever with the other 8 cars.

Q327-23 has set off 8 cars on #1 main in Benton Harbor, has been recrewed, and is now headed west through St. Joseph. Sounds like CSXT 7807 leading.
Sounds like their profile should have 584 axles...DD91.9 said 586. It often gives an odd axle count.
At least this one doesn't randomly go off like the older one did a few years ago.

D700 went west with 7 cars at 8:40 on the Bangor camera. With seven cars. Four covered hoppers and 3 coil cars for Sawyer.

Should be past Williamston by now. CSX 439+297+3033+4018 with 105 cars. MofW trying to get a tree cut up that fell across the main line west of Lansing before they get there.

On the TV series, Alaskan Railroad, this incident would be major drama because apparently trains need more than an hour to stop in Alaska and if they don't move blockage off the tracks the trains will smash into it and blow up like a bomb. For anyone who has watched the show you'll get my sarcasm.

Q38522 must have gotten annulled at Walbridge once again because the power that was on it, CSX 3103+545 went elsewhere and not into Michigan. Q38523 just turned north at Fostoria with CSX 588+312. Not sure if they ran a Q326 today or not.
