I know, Gregg! Turns out I didn't need to be to the restaurant until 5:30. Drats!Gregg Pullano wrote: -Q327, as mentioned by Bob M. in another post, passed Howell at 4:44 PM with CSX Gen-Set #1301 in trail (We left too soon, Jim!)
Here is X500 in Jenison. I don't know where the first CSX trailing unit (709) came from. The two rear units, 598 and 455 came in on N914 the day before. I'm assuming they took it with them when they first left the yard as D802 to go push some coal...and then they got switched to helping 500.
Gotta love auto racks in a shot like this, as you can see them all the way in the background near Meijer. Oh, and the rain was soaking me as I was waiting for the train.
