CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 6-11-08

[cnw8835]

Q327-10 headed west out of GR about 00:45. CSXT 8405 & 8040, 52 cars as long as I counted right.
N916-09 departed westward next at about 01:15. CSXT 139 & 539, eastern coal loads to West Olive.
Y320 was assembling their train and started east at 01:40, CSXT 2635. Y321 was waiting for 320 to clear before shoving into the yard from Pleasent St.
Q334 was still sitting on 4 track last I saw. CSXT 8039, 7777, and third unit and CSXT 1557 on the headend. Train wasn't very long, 50ish cars maybe.
MQT's northbound train was supposed to be on 20 & 22 tracks.

GRE looks quiet, yard is completely empty. Centerbeam is confirmed at Standard on Fruit Ridge. 164 in the lead and 90413 trailing on 371.

Marquette Rail Update for June 10, 2008:

Z151-10 Power Lineup:
GLLX 3002
GLLX 3003
GMTX 2648
GMTX 2676

Crew tied the train down at Kent City, snagged 3 out of the pass to bring to Sparta. (MI Rail cars that can't be handled by MI Rail yet). Light power to Vans. Pickup at Vans, Ambassador, and Trussway (mis-routed car from CSX) back up to Kent City. Run around, tie on, straight shot to Wyoming.

Inbound to Wyoming at 0450 with 99 cars.

Into 6 track, doubled 20 headend cars to 4. Got head room through Lamar with a "slow clear Lamar, Marquette Z151 OUT!!" as the engineer said excitedly.

MQT's northbound train was supposed to be on 20 & 22 tracks.

Dont forget the 65 cars on 41 track for Newago...

Oubound train was no less than 135 cars. Departed at 0630 and was out of Amtrak's way just in time for them to make it to the station on time.

Scheduled work was Vans and Ambassador with the 65 empty grain cars to be set out at Newago. Don't think they are gonna make it to Newago...

Q326 Medium Approach Grandville at 0714 with a single wide-nose and 14 cars. Landing into 18 track, Power to 5 track. Flagman at MP 7.1 encouraged the crew to notify the YM that the last car had real bad flat spots. They passed the info along.

Y320 was inbound back to Wyoming, but not sure where exactly.

Who has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap? Bob Kelso.

Good Day everyone...
