CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 5-6-08
The GRE was on the pull with 7 for King at 6:45A. The usual Amtrak with the P42 in the lead. MQT is doing a little ditching north of Turner.

Kinda glad Amtrak 26 is in the lead, as now they are using a radio that can actually be heard more than 2-3 miles away.
Can't believe the weatherman...said showers this morning, and that was as of 7:30am... clear blue skies right now, no clouds.

Q33506 by Dobie Road (MP 80) at 9:00am. 3520', 248 axles.
The defect detector at 79.9 has been upgraded. It now gives the track number--as a BEEP (!)--and the temperature. Too bad they didn't also add eastbound/westbound like the CN detectors on the Flint sub.
The new, longer message makes it even more likely that the DD will smother the 'clear Okemos' call for westbounds.

Actually, it hasn't been upgraded, it probably lost power at some point and defaulted back to it's original setting. I've heard them do that on the GR sub too...usually a day or two, and a maintainer will have fixed it. I'm assuming it beeps on the track number since there isn't one (being single track)mikekmac wrote:Q33506 by Dobie Road (MP 80) at 9:00am. 3520', 248 axles.
