CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 5-9-08

Unread post by Raildudes dad »

The 24 is on the move this morning. They were retrieving the 2 tanks from the NS interchange and headeded east at 6:50. It was on the news they are closing College over the MMRR today for bridge replacement so maybe that's the reason for the trip with just 2. The usual Amtrak, 26 leading.

Amtrak P371 arriving in Holland - engine 26. 8:40 AM.

Watch out over in the Holland area today - they're spraying for weeds and the stuff they use makes Agent Orange seem like Kool Aid...

Coal drag (N903?) headed north at Riley St. 10:12 AM. CSX 7504 and 394.

Wonder why the crews yesterday and today are running the show from CSX 7504 (C40-8) - seems they would prefer the newer 394...

Saw the crew pushing sitting in that rear 7504 yesterday around 1pm...maybe they have been window visual out of the edge of the 7504 than the 394...although the were calling the 7504 a junker.

Sometime between yesterday afternoon and this morning they turned the engines around - must have wyed them somewhere. 7504 was facing the other way yesterday - which makes me wonder if the crew preferred it that way.

Dave, that CSXT 5472 shows that it was E44108. Says it's running from Flint to Russell KY(maybe came from Port Huron) - currently: PLYMOUTH HI RAIL MI CC 81 05-09-2008 17:40

The E441 is empties out of Essexville. There have been a few eastern coal trains on the SBS recently.
