Re: CSX Train Location Updates - May 2024
MOW Crews @ 12:00 currently active between Wells Siding mp 41.4 to mp 43.2 Work seems imminent further south as well. Porta-potties placed and asphalt cut for crossing replacement on Linco Road and Livingston Road. Last time I was down that way, ties had been set out on the main track only. Now the...

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work
Is any tie work happening on the Plymouth, or are all the ties going to the GR sub side? I believe there are some ties heading to a business in Livingston. M327 has been dropping off loaded cars with ties there recently Lots of ties spread out on the line from St. Joe bridge to well south of Living...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
This is a question, Was that G801 the first grainer to use the Grand Rapids sub in 10 years? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any in Michigan going west of Grand Rapids in a long time. G126 ran last year or so as well on the Grand Rapids sub. Okay, prior to G801 and G126, when was the last time we ...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
Do you ever see the huge 326s, or do you only ever comment on the abnormally small ones? I grew up near Fargo, ND, where BNSF’s northern transcon mains cross. Dozens of trains a day and every one 100+ cars. Even the local shortline usually ran trains bigger than today’s 326. So I just find it comic...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - February 2024
The engineer gave quite a horn salute to someone shortly before Glenlord. This happens fairly often. I suspect an employee of the doggy daycare must often be out there with the doggos, waving at the train.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - January 2024
A little excitement in Saint Joe a little after 5 pm… the Manitowac was coming in with a load of stone and one of its bow thrusters malfunctioned. The Bridge Mechanic was inspecting the bridge a bit ago. He didn’t see anything noteworthy at first glance, and gave the bridge tender the go ahead to c...

A little excitement in Saint Joe a little after 5 pm… the Manitowac was coming in with a load of stone and one of its bow thrusters malfunctioned. The boat wound up pinned diagonally, with the bow against the seawall and the stern rubbing against the fenders of the Saint Joe Bridge. After about 20 m...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2023
It will be interesting to see if it has passengers aboard. It’s not showing on the status map, and the Amtrak website shows it in Service Disruption.

As of 22:30 ET, Amtrak P370 looks to be parked in Porter siding on the NS @ CD482.5, near the Mineral Springs Rd Crossing. User “Working_Ad_2769” posted the following on Reddit (r/Amtrak): Well, of all 4 trains I've taken (including the one I'm currently on), it wasn't the Texas Eagle that was the ...

Re: Amtrak 355 accident-New Buffalo
The database was down so nobody knew what to do. Such a shame. For reasons exactly like this, the police dispatcher shouldn’t be using a database. The standard practice should be for the officer or caller on the scene to read the info on the blue sign. Eliminates errors like this.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct. 2023
P371 by EE Sawyer CG104.6 at 8:31, not sure if anyone noticed but the cafe car is actually a Northeast Regional Cafe Car! They must be out of serviceable cafe/business class cars. For one round trip, starting with P370-27, they substituted a baggage car (CSX now has a 16 axle minimum for passenger)...

I think he is going on about the fact there was a drastic change to the Hamilton Northwestern Last fall and no one has stated the facts about it, what it’s present state is, or what it’s future is on this website.

Amtrak P370-27 @ 21:06 eastward reported by the Defect Detector mp CG91.9 St Joseph, Mi. with 16 axles. IDTX engine #4610 & 3 cars. Why the baggage car?
