Tomorrow I plan to railfan GR, and I was wondering what even goes through the city, I’ve seen MQT and GDLX in the pass, but I would like to see some CSX trains Anything will help :D From experience: Y106 starts their day roughly at 7am, departs the yard around 9-11am L301 starts their day roughly a...

M326 onto the Grand Rapids Sub in Porter at 10:05 CST. Leading is CSX 7242. Will update when I get more view.

you can use radio reference to get all the frequencies for the Michigan Rails.

It has been recently updated and includes Grand Elk now. Be mindful there is potential for duplicates.

Someone already mentioned you can just program all the frequences for the AAR and you will be straight.

M326 at Porter Junction onto the GR Sub at 9:31am CST.

Leading is 3268 and 146 back to back. 2047 was trailing behind those two locos.

Counted 86 cars.

I updated my post right around the same time. I also counted 86.

W003 at Porter Junction CP 482.1

EMD 9969 leading 2 cars.

His cars are the Hocking Valley & Track Geometry Car TGC3. He might be do “on the fly” HBD tests as he had done the last time he ran on the Grand Rapids sub-division.

Yep I suspect that is what he will do.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 10:47am. WAMX 4209 and 4206 (both facing north) with 15 cars.

Grand Elk 36th Street Wyoming not too far after. I heard his horns from my house.

Light power engine move through Jenison at 10:15pm going west. Have no idea what it is.

CSX Grain Train north on Saginaw Sub.

This one snuck up on me so still didn't get much information.

Time was approximately 6:10pm.

What I believe to be L302 in Plymouth crossing the Plymouth Diamond. Time was 5:50pm.

I couldn't make out the symbol over the radio.

Approximately 4:15pm L303 crossed over the Plymouth diamond. He was a bit far from my location as I'm on the south end on the Saginaw Sub. Shortly after a yard turn went by on the Saginaw Sub going north and took the wye to head to Detroit on the Detroit Subdivision. Not my normal range so don't kno...

No defects Pearl. Honestly not sure which train it is. I didn't hear anything after the broadcast. I'm thinking R598. M326-21 @ 18:03 eastward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG44.2 Pearl, Mi with 448 axles. CSX engine #3182 + mid dpu CSX engine #5312 & 109 cars. He'll be adding the CSX “Pusher ...

Quick update for M326-21.

As of 5:41 RN Dispatcher reached out to them. Seems they will get to wells siding around the time R598-20 does. I believe it sounded like dispatch said let them know what they needed from R598. I'm sure it some helper locos but it honestly was a quick discussion.

L301-16 Called clear at 112th. I'm not sure if they're heading back to GR. I didn't catch that much.

Driving home and heard m327 getting hit with the defect detector in Zealand with dragging equipment. Didn't get a chance to stop and see what's going on but just wanted to verify if anybody else heard it I believe that was a CSX employee testing the Zeeland DD since M327 reported at Saugatuck when ...
