Bay City today. 08/21/05

Well, Since I was in the area I decided to swing by Foss yard. I was shocked to see not one, but 2 locomotives on the train. CSXT 2574 and csxt 2509. There were several empty cement cars on 3 track for Essroc Cement. I am assuming a stone train must be going south today because csxt dosen't use 2 locos for this train ever unless they know before hand the return train is going to be heavy.
In the HESR yard the motive lineup looks like this. 3838, 5086, 998, 2002 in the storage track. 2014 on the fuel pad. 8903? in the shop house.

what stone trains are these, and where are they comming form/ to

[patrick]

From what I understand csxt is moving stone to flint from the LSRC via 40 cars trains. I can't confirm this though

well if you happen to see any of the cars, grab a car number and give it to me and I will do a trace on it at work.
