Re: Michigan Rail business news redux
My impression was the plant was underutilized and would need increased production to maximize its potential. The plants yard, which if I have accurate information might receive 7-10 cars a week, looks like it can handle triple that volume. I’m open to corrections and accurate information. Expansion...

M327-29 @ 05:23 Grand Rapids, contacted the Dispatcher with a mark up but only had heard CSX engine #930 mentioned which was paired up with the CSX #5310 on last night's L302. The rest of the radio call was missing for consist info. M327-29 @ 06:08 advised Rouge they had intended to use the CSX #53...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2024
Amtrak P371-30 at this time is still having issues & hasn't departed the Grand Rapids Terminal yet. When I passed it on 131 south, number board lights were on and the cars had their side lights on (the ones that change from green to yellow to red no clue what they are called) but everything else wa...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
No, should be a straight shot to GR, crew doesn't have allot of extra time to work with. Any clue if hes tying down for the night or for a few/couple hours? Believe the train is being stored at Wyoming and the engine needs to be sent out for its quarterly inspection. Not sure exactly how it's going...

Re: CSX Christmas Train 2023
Typically they do their Santa train on the old Clinchfield line in Kentucky and Tennessee, but would be very cool for it to go system wide at some point.

Re: Amtrak 355 accident-New Buffalo
The rumor floating around on the comments of those Facebook videos has it that a railroad was called but it might not have been Amtrak. Some say CSX was contacted instead, but again that is speculation at this point and like people said before it could have just taken too long to contact the train f...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - September 2023
Is there any way to get the train consist for Q326? Meaning, the cargo and destination of the cars on the train? I would guess they keep that info pretty locked down, being a customer (knowing your car is coming) or working for the railroad would be your best bet I think. I would imagine posting th...

SRI has PNLX 57 (facing east) has the SRI aux tender and 1225's tender on the GLC mainline in Owosso. Appears as though they are filling both with water.
