So, only 59 cars and they're using a rear dpu on 326. It seems as though they use a dpu on trains that wouldn't need one, and then you get a 326 with 120 cars with two lead units and no dpu. Just an example, it's what I've noticed. I'm sure weight of the train as something to do with this. Sometime...

Q326-07 @ 16:14:24 eastward Bangor's Division St crossing mp CG60.93 cam with CSX engines #5466 + #354 & 55 cars (he had picked up a Bad Order car from Gross mp CG61.3) They are not to exceed 40 mph to Grand Rapids. Q326-07 @ 16:46 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 292 axles & 4,273 feet l...

L303 briefly stopped at Seymour, and is now on the move again.

I'm sorry we can just need to ban these stinking ES40DCs, I can't stand them lol

*Not a train update, just a comment*
Considering how short the trains have been recently, 84 cars for 327 seems like a land barge.

My bad, I was assuming it'd be on 327 because of the elephant style setup. Regardless of what train it's assigned to, I just feel like it'll have some sort of issue.

I'm willing to bet the 7878 will have some sort of issue tomorrow morning with 327 lol

What's going with Z151? Head end stopped at Bridge st., not sure where it ends.. Tail end goes almost all the way to the river. Certainly were blocking a bunch of crossing for a good amount of time! I saw the conductor off the train, a CSX employee showed and were looking/taking pictures of somethi...

Q326-15 @ 15:18 eastward cleared the St Joseph Bridge with CSX engines #9040 + #5407 & 72 cars. Many thanks to our Bangor viewer Metal for providing the engine info

Don't hear about many 9000 series units anymore

Currently hearing a P3 horn going back north on Marquette rails in Comstock Park.

I'm located at 7 mile and alpine for work. Currently am hearing a perfect sounding K5H airhorn heading south and last I knew Marquette Rail didn't have that kind of horn on their locomotives. If I didn't know better I'd think it's a CSX older GE just by the sound, but can anyone confirm this? Thank...

Grand Elk south through Byron Center at 4:12pm. WAMX 4125, WAXM 4124, and 56 cars. Mix of tank cars, covered hoppers and boxcars, one steel coil car thrown in.

I saw it at 54th st and chased it to 100th. Do they always stop and proceed at the 54th st crossing?

Medium clear for eastbound through Schoolcraft. Unsure of train ID and current location.

EB CN manifest with dual UP GE's should be nearing Schoolcraft. Passed by Marcellus approx 10 minutes ago. Based on the signal in the Marcellus another EB is getting lined up to come through

Anything currently in the Battle Creek vicinity?

Got a clear signal for an eastbound through Schoolcraft. Not sure of current location but should be close. That's all the info I can provide as I'm not a frequent railfanner on the CN line. E marcellus Sat in Schoolcraft for 30 minutes and nothing showed. The signal was green before I even got ther...
