CSX Train Location Updates: January, 2020.

Q32904 by Howell at 09:55 with CSX 9051+65+4004. and 7700 feet of train Axle count was 450 which minus the three units would equate to 108 cars. However, once again they had a long string of empty multi axle well cars on the rear to mess up the exact car count. A mute point for west of Lansing because these cars are all going to Trowbridge storage on top of the cars brought there several days ago. They will have to flag the diamond to get into the siding, All this plus Lansing work so they should be late getting into GRP. Q32804 went east at 07:02 with CSX 8873+591 and 109 cars.

Q329 reported by the DD at mp CH126.3 @ 13:33 with 3 engines & 94 cars (if no multi-axle well cars).

Would this extra long E801 be on a cam before it leaves the state?

[Tom49801]

Would this extra long E801 be on a cam before it leaves the state?

It can be seen on the Bangor, Michigan live cam. Still waiting as of 6:35pm for it to show up from the siding he's at 5 miles away.
E801-04 Bangor mp CG60.7 approach @ 18:36:45 with BNSF engines #8530 + #8490, 130 empty coal cars, BNSF engines #5778 + #5821 at mid-point followed by another 130 empty coal cars. We had a viewer waiting at Benton Harbor area to note what the mid-point engine numbers are.

[Tom49801]

N801-04 Bangor mp CG60.7 approach @ 18:49:35 with BNSF engines #6299 + #8999 & 129 loaded coal cars. CSX DP engines #336 + #3417 to be added at the east end of Wells siding mp CG41.4
Q327 reported from mp 32 @ with CSX engines #5405 + #5447. He had 59 cars when he had gone into Holland to drop some off. Not sure if Q327 can get around N801-04 at Wells siding. Nope, Q327 is waiting - makes me wonder at times the decisions disptach makes. They could have held N801-04 for just a few minutes longer in Gross siding that could have gotten Q327 past him, or, just to get into Grand Junction siding letting N801-04 pass.
