Re: Brighton, MI outing

L302 and L303 often meet at South Lyon, the next siding east of Brighton. Keep an eye on the CSXT location updates thread as it’s possible if you see the eastbound first the westbound may come along before too long. Not sure I will see 303, I wont be getting there until 5:20ish and he went through ...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2024

U302 extra train scheduled to run Plymouth to GR tonight. No details besides crew on duty 1800 in GR to taxi to Plymouth for train. Likely the same deal as a couple weeks ago with Detroit overflowing with cars needing assistance with switching. What time roughly do you think he will be through Brig...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2024

L303-15 today should have CSX engines #5252 + #147. He's usually on duty at 10:30am & hear him doing his job briefing between 10:30am & noon with his full consist info. L302 is on duty in Detroit at 2:00pm but unfortunately the Detroit on line scanner has poor reception to hear his job briefing. So...

Re: Brighton, MI outing

D708 is now L305. Would it run through Brighton on a Saturday? If so what time(s) roughly? Hi Nick, L305 is off on the weekends. So far, L303 has been arriving Lansing for their work there between 2:00pm & 3:30pm (subject to change, of course) & then continuing east to Detroit when they've complete...

Re: Brighton, MI outing

Yes just realized that looking at the map lol 😂 L302 and L303 I know will run im not sure what time and if D70...

Re: Best time in the summer to railfan

Regarding Fostoria---- unless things have changed since the railpark has opened, it is best to go there on an overcast or cool day. I remember when I was there with my son, there was a complete lack of shade, and on a hot day there was no relief from the sun.But, maybe that has gotten better nowada...

Re: Elimination of NS 256/255 in June?

What day in June are they stopping? And with them running to Toledo now does that mean the roadrailers will run the Chicago Line? No roadrailers will be replaced with regular stacks and your best bet to for sure catch them is west of Fort Wayne on the Lafayette district. This time of the year you a...

Re: Santa Fe Jct train traffic

Okay, but you could rewind it as well. I'll say this, this is a rough estimate and I've been to Kansas City twice for trains and I'll say it's one of my favorite cities to railfan outside of Houston, Dallas Fort Worth and the twin cities. You got about 100 BNSF trains a day from both the former ATS...
