D706 at Ensel. Idk how long Trowbridge will be tied up with the accident at the platform on CN and whether that’ll make d706 and d708 run out of time or not.

Re: CSX Train Locations Updates November 2020
D708 may be getting a reprieve soon, as the Plastics place at Fowlerville that sucks up so much of their time has a whole lotta track work going on at its west end - perhaps creating a way for them to switch themselves with a trackmobile?

Also Trowbridge siding is full of cars for Anderson’s in Webberville as well.

D708 cleared Okemos west at 19:09. A surprisingly short train.

Re: CSX Train Locations Updates November 2020
No Saturday GLC pick up and set off on CSX this week. Currently here with GLC 392+398+395 setting off 68 cars and picking up the 44 D708 left yesterday. Cars to sit in the Howell pass for three days at least until late afternoon Monday include 25 tie empties, 15 three bay hoppers, 15 ash cars, 8 tanks, 3 coke and 2 lumber empties. Not much of anything loaded, so no big deal.
D70613 by Fowlerville at 18:07 with 595+751 and 92 cars but getting delayed at Howell by GLC.

Re: CSX Train Locations Updates November 2020
Ogihara Plastics is indeed doing track work to hasten the locals switching work. They have improved car handling of late...you don't have to put cars right back where they came from, they have become much more flexable along those lines.
Perhaps a three legged crew setup for the Detroit GRP run will be set up in 2021. Assigned crews and with that you know when you go to work and when you come home and then a day off in between. Just like we had on Q336/Q337 back in the day. Much better set up.
As for AnnPere. Word is from the regular practitioners GLC will not allow CSX on their tracks so the setup (or lack of) is like it is.
And when the crew takes 15 cars east from Ann Pere its because they have to switch the truss place near South Lyon. No six axles on that track so reachers are needed.
Lansing is usually plugged, AnnPere, Brighton, Howell is too. That's just the way it is for now.
Propane at Alto will not be shipping much outbound this winter.
So It Goes.
And no CP isn't coming YET.

@8:04 D706 through south Lyon. #595 leading and #751 trailing.
Re: CSX Train Locations Updates November 2020
P370-13 departed St. Joseph on time at 9:14 pm and is currently going through Benton Harbor. Sounds like IDTX 4615 leading.

If they were going faster than track speed, their engine would tattle on them faster than you can say “CSX”.

And they would be out of service. The computer/Sat knows and tells ALL in microseconds. Let the Trip Optimizer take the wheel, sit back and toot the horn.

Re: CSX Train Locations Updates November 2020
E800 is currently walking through Riverside, as there is a broken rail there.

Re: CSX Train Locations Updates November 2020
I just heard the RN talk to E801-12 with CSXT 361 leading. He asked how much fuel was in the lead unit, and I heard no response. Last I knew they were crawling to a broken rail at Riverside at 4:49 pm. I thought they had gone westbound.

Re: CSX Train Locations Updates November 2020
Clear signal at EE Brighton, something is coming westbound, I'm guessing D705-14.
Will let y'all know when it comes thru.
