D706-15 @ 17:09 eastward reported by the DD mp CH126.3 with 368 axles. CSXT engines #5406 + #5243 & 89 cars.

Does anyone have the mile posts for Schaffer & Snow Rd? I hear these locations all the time on the scanner. I think I was once told Snow Rd is approx at mp CH134 or MP CH135. I found on Google satellite images what I think is Snow Rd in Alto, Mi & it was a bridge that passes over the track.Thanks for any help :)

Shaeffer/Breton is CH 146. Snow Rd is CH 136.7. Snow Rd is a dirt road crossing in the middle of a curve, just east of McCords.
