CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 5-21-08

Raildudes dad · Wed May 21, 2008 6:51 am

Looks like it's going to be quiet at the GRE unless they show up later. CSX delivered a mini unit train for King over night. The MMRR truck yesterday was to put the rail back in the engine house. The 24 was back inside last night. It looks like they installed a couple monitoring wells around the building also.

At 8:34am Calumet City gave the track between East End Trowbridge and West End Trowbridge to one maintainer, and between East End Ensel and North Lansing to another maintainer, through 10:00am. So don't expect any movement through here for the nonce.

Dispatcher said that Ensel hadn't profiled any yard jobs for her yet.

With both Q335 and Y320 now west of Seymour, maintainers are taking the track between Seymour and Fox until 16:00. No trains will be able to go east from GR or come from the east until they have finished their work.

There was an N910 just after midnight last night. Don't know if he got pushed up the hill, doubled, or tied down though.

S334 heading east out of GR now.
K911 heading west from GR. CSXT 5200 leading.

Caught K911 at East Saugatuck - they were waiting for X500-20 to pass (CSX power on X500 was a little different).

And once more, the elusive class GEVO eludes me.

What is S335 exactly? Also U965 sounds new.

GTW6401 · Unread post by **GTW6401** » Thu May 22, 2008 2:07 am

S335 was a second section of Q335-20.

U965 was an extra run of coal bound for MSU.

BTW: I believe that's the first stone train of the year (well, west of Grand Rapids...I know some run up toward Flint)

Ah yeah, I forgot to mention that... i'm quite sure that's GR's first stone train of the season..quite the late start for them...been waiting weeks for them to start up.

First empty stone train, right? So have those cars have been sitting in GR all winter?
