[NS3322]

He's on the move & reported from mp CG46 @ 19:53

D801-01 @ 19:58 eastward reported by the DD mp CG44.2 with 544 axles & 7,320 feet long. BNSF engine #9029 + CSX engines #3167 + #3440 & 130 loaded coal cars & rear dpu CN #8952 (GTW Heritage Unit).

I appreciate the updates! I unfortunately was unable to get over there today. I will try again whenever it comes back.

Will keep tabs on his return trip, don't know when that'll be, could be tomorrow, could be in 2 days, just never know. Where will you try to see him at?

Totally understand that! Always hard to keep tabs on the coal trains. I'll likely try for either Bangor or Grand Junction (or if I have ample time somewhere around Fennville).

E801-01 @ 07:14 copied his EC1 from West Olive with CSX engines #3440 + #3167 + CN #8952 + BNSF engine #9029 & 130(?) empty coal cars . He will set off the CSX power in the east end of Grand Jct siding mp CG54 & then continue on to Chicago with the CN #8259 leading.

"Typically", he should be passing by the Holland Depot mp CG25.3 about 45 minutes after copying his EC1 from West Olive.

D707-02 overnight took approx 17 boxcars and 3 lumber flats to Lowe's Grand Ledge and dropped off two cars to Hart Truss. They had no interchange for Jail.

That's interesting seeing as how Lowes can only handle 8 boxcars max. Where do you get your mis -information from??

Just because they can only unload 8 boxcars at a time, doesn’t mean they can’t leave offspots either behind the building or on the spur itself. Did that many times myself.
