CSX GRE MQT Train Location 2-21-08

Unread post by Raildudes dad »

1 crewman car at the GRE. Amtrak air? No NS last night and doesn't look like CSX delivered, may have left just a few behind Amtrak since the centerbeam is gone.

(More time to type this morning. Just made it yesterday before the filter went on - darn IT supervisor :evil: )

Coe Rail has not run in a couple days if not a week, no sign of the F Unit, likely in the barn heating up. 4 covered hoppers on the interchange from the weekend. 1 CSX trackman Gibbson was inspectiong. The 70 Tonner? at Korexx in Wixom was huslting about at the complex.Nothing has entered the Ford Plant via CSX since the last snow, a few tables on one of the sidings along the lead into the plant.
X500-19 stopped in Brighton prolly due to a track gang. 8770 was leading 284 axles 69.50 cars, give or take a few articulated TTX Racks, mostly loaded with GM trucks. :D They cleared South Lyon at: 1030am and stopped again after Beck Road so a Yard Job could clear thet diamond.

Been hearing some "activation" failures today. Dispatch went through a list with X-500 when they were going through Holland earlier.
Also think I heard D802(?) heading west from Holland reporting a failure...

During lunch - 1:30pm, heard that Q32621 was dead at Wells. Crew got on some lite engines at Wyoming Yard, heading west to go get that train. Lite power was also going through Saugatuck headed for a loaded coal train at Grand Junction..heard them later getting talked into the siding at GJ. Heard that same broken rail conversation at Grandville...

I had a mystery train on this date.

WB at CH 80 at 9:45am, a mixed freight powered by CSX 2578.

WB at CH 80 at 10:54am, a rather longer mixed freight powered by CSX 8547 and CSX 4753.

If the first one is Q335 (which was at Fowlerville, CH 62, at 8:49am), what's the second?
