CSX Train Location Updates - April 2022

Q326-27 west end Sawyer. Didn't catch engines but both are on head end

First loaded car is an extra long utility pole load with spacer flatcars on either side, which means the first car of the train is an empty flat car. Obviously, it’s not a big train…

Q326-27 @ 12:20 eastward reported by the DD mp CG91.9 with 372 axles & 4,987 feet long. CSX engine #363 + #523 (elephant style) & 90 cars.
