I deleted it once already, but Robert added it back, so I'll ask - why is a picture of UP 2001 from a few years ago relevant to the CSX train location updates from today?
I get the KCSM 4552 on CSX i131 going to Indiana and all, but why UP 2001?

I wondered why the picture was gone! It is relevant because it was CSX 131 in 2018 in the afternoon! Do they run earlier now? That's the train I am after with KCSM 4552!!!! Well, what time did 131 depart today? Did KCSM 4552 lead? Seems it left faster than train with UP "Olympic Torch" SD70M #2001 did in 2018!!!!

Folks, CSX I132 was spotted (by dtiman64) on "Heritage Units" @ 6:36 p.m. (9-1), Detroit, heading to CSX Livernois Yard!!!! KCSM "Gray" AC4400CW #4552 is the rear unit!!!! Well, is this engine expected to lead a southbound train from Livernois Yard? I'd like to catch! Could this be the afternoon Intermodal train to Illinois?

Check out my (RLJ II) picture of UP "Olympic Torch" engine number 2001 at Delray Junction, Detroit, MI, August 10, 2018 (Canon® 35mm S.L.R.):

That thing is in Indiana by now but yes, it is going to Illinois on I131
