Grand Rapids symbol changes
I was told that Q384 and Q385 are to become Grand Rapids - Selkirk trains and Q334 / Q335 will be abolished as a result.
Re: Grand Rapids symbol changes
This explains why Q384 has been seen In Toledo lately. With two sections of Q335 of late, (Q & S) perhaps there will be two of Q385 as well. Be nice if they ran both Q335 & Q385.
Re: Grand Rapids symbol changes
Is there a chance that that Q384/Q385 become Selkirk to Chicago trains with a G.R. setout.
The reason I ask is Q327 is frequently over 10,000 ft. and I sense that management wants
the slop off the B&O. Plus the less time spent in Toledo the better.

Probably has to do with the other hump shutting at Willard. First Q384-08 is already on the move.

Re: Grand Rapids symbol changes
Will these new trains be running during the daylight or overnight? I missed my chance yesterday when CSX had two trains run over the Plymouth through Lansing, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.

Re: Grand Rapids symbol changes
It's probably between grand ledge and Ensel right now. I would say any time.
Being Sunday there is a possibility it has a set out for ensel too. not sure, haven't been listening. road channel is 8 dispatch is 14. 160.230 and 160.320 respectively. Also is a lansing area scanner available online (or at least there used to be).

Re: Grand Rapids symbol changes
Unfortunately, I was about half way to the crossing on Hagadron (it's the closest to McDonel Hall) when I saw them roll through.Jetlink wrote:It's probably between grand ledge and Ensel right now. I would say any time.

Would the time they came through today be about the usual time now, or is it too early to tell?

Re: Grand Rapids symbol changes
The scanner feed for Lansing was down for a few hours this afternoon/evening while I worked on the antenna but it's back up and running again. There's a band opening tonight so I'm not sure yet if the reception is better or not.Jetlink wrote:It's probably between grand ledge and Ensel right now. I would say any time.

I might start using this instead of my scanner if it works on my phone.KC8RBK wrote:The scanner feed for Lansing was down for a few hours this afternoon/evening while I worked on the antenna but it's back up and running again.
