Shortly after departing Wyoming Yard, the crew discovered a brake problem with the trailing unit, CSX 7582. So, they pulled into the Siding at Fox, and took a look. After about an hour, they told the dispatcher they were going to try again.
After battling the hill out of the Thornapple River valley, we see them heading downgrade then back upgrade just east of the tiny twon of Alto, Michigan.
Seeing as though they were not going full speed (due to the brake issue), we were able to get ahead of them again and see them just to the west of another small town: Clarksville. The train crew was preparing for a defect reading out of the Clarksville Detector, and told the dispatcher when they were about to hit it. But, their luck held out, and the defect detector reported no defects on the train.
Consist:
- CSXT 436 [AC4400CW]
- CSXT 7582 [C40-8]
- 76 cars [Grain Loads from MQT Newaygo]
