Wb at billwood hwy. Looked like a gp38 with some idler cars and some sort of high and wide. 0917

Friend just text me a picture of it. Its at least a 16 axle flat car with something I cant identify on it. It has gtw 6224

Its a 20 axle flat car with a caboose in tow and a blue gtw unit. By my stream at 0939 if anyone wants to go back and check it out. Wish I wasn't at work so I could have gotten video of it...

Does anyone know if this will go west of South Bend?

wb by 205 with a single bnsf lhf, auto racks on the front and empty coal hoppers on the back. if there's no other power on this thing he may have real trouble with the grade in charlotte, although to get here he had to climb the one west of cory where they usually get stuck. I'm not sure how the 2 compare length and % wise. 1048

5856 in GTW colors working Pontiac Yard

Alright, where did GTW "O.L.S" GP38-2 #5856 go now? "Heritage Units" (msusoupy) reported it headed south yesterday (7-17) through Pleasant Ridge at 9:03 a.m. It was not leading the train! Does anyone know where it went? I would guess Flat Rock now!!!!

No clue on 5856 but you missed a rare x521 yesterday with a GT as the solo engine and a heavy load and caboose.
