CSX Train Location Updates - December 2021

[LansingRailFan]

It's all good Brad. I don't even suggest quoting if you are just quoting the person directly above yours. I only use quotes when replying to something someone said earlier in the thread. When it's the last post you are replying to, not much of a need to quote.

In the past I agreed with you, but since you added the feature where if you quote a person they receive a notification when you reply to them, I find the quote feature quite useful now.

I agree

He advised the Dispatcher about a bad axle count from the DD at mp CG66.2 & had also said that's the 1st DD he's been over that has reported an error. I didn't hear this DD's report, we rarely do. He's also asking if they are to stop their train & make a count. Chief advised they're ok to continue on.

Thanks. Train symbols on the east side of the state are somewhat foreign to me.

D705 approaching Williamston at 2:25 pm with 335+351, a pair of YN2 units and 104 cars.

D708 called an approach for CH 56 at 14:37, EAS Howell showing an approach.

Update, 8388 east by Howell at 14:47, engine light.

[BL2-1843]

D708 sat off a few cars at the Ogihara run around, came into Howell power light down the main to put the EOT on the end of last nights GLCs set off in the pass, then back west to get talked into the siding on top of the cars, back west to pick up the cars they left at Ogihara and return to Lansing. End of that story.
