Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 11:43am. WAMX 4124, WAMX 4209, and 19 cars.

I believe Grand Elk went south between 2-4pm. I didn’t hear any train horns from 4 to 9pm. Even went trackside at 6-7:30pm earlier today.

Unsure. This was from a source in the field. I heard they were also setting out a car with a bad axle. Have no clue when it will depart north. Train has 823 axles from what I've been told.

CSX 1973 leader, CSX 3360 mid DP and 203 cars ish, probably an axle error too. Thanks

While everyone yapping about the Plymouth sub, CSX train either U315 or M510 is sitting in Romulus with 1973 leading the cheesie system heritage unit. Unsure when it will continue to Detroit. DPU is having major issues.

Thank you for the update. Did you happen to get a car count?

5479 is the trailing engine on this latest G077. Does anyone know their symbol prior to Plymouth? I would assume either G790 or G824 or any empty grain train from the southern states. This empty grain went pass Princeton Cam yesterday at 00:47am hours with CSX #5265 leading. For the Princeton Cam, ...

18:26 - L302 west through South Lyon. Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 360 axles. L302-27 has CSX 5239 and CSX 234 if I’m not mistaken.
