Rio Grande pair in Detroit
Mr Matt gave some good details as he was headed to the hotel... CSX K389 (coke train from Walbridge to Rouge) had Wheeling and Lake Erie power on it, two Rio Grande tunnel motors..said this is the first time he's seen that WLE lets their power run through. So these two units are sitting at Rouge, unsure right now what their next move is though.

The K389 goes from Toledo to Detroit.(Walbridge to Rougemere)GLC 392 wrote:where does that train go to.
Those two Rio Grande units pulled the coke train from Toledo to Detroit, detached, and as of around 2pm, were sitting in Detroit. What train they'll be assigned to next, dunno.

I spotted them at the Rouge myself today. I would have loved to get a decent photo but the way they were positioned it wasnt happening. Funny how nobody mentioned the numbers of the locomotives. (5391 and 5413).
Also, The yard is in Dearborn, not Detroit.

I did not see them at Rouge Yard today when I drove past there around noon, but there were two passenger cars located next to the power that left on Q216.

Not OD
The train has not been called out of Detroit as of 1800 as there is only 2 crews in the hotel right now to protect Q231-14 and Q399-15.
When and/or if it goes tomorrow what route will it take?

K38814 to be called on crews rest at 03:50 this morning (Sunday). Given normal times, guess by, Plymouth at about 5:30, Wayne by, 6:00, Carleton, by 7:00, and Toledo, by 9:00. But this is just a guess.

I just heard on the Detroit scanner feed. Q29015 ahead of him, get permisson past the stop indicatoion, at Oak yard, due to signal problems. K388 is behind 290, at Oak yard. This is at 8:00. I am heading out the door right now, heading for Carleton, as down here it is sunny.
