Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Dec. 2022
I think on days where L301 has a lot of work besides just Holland and West Mi (including a run to Sawyer and/or the Standale switch on the return trip) they to do their setoff and pickup of Holland cars on the westbound run, and don’t pickup again eastbound.
Watching the westbound L301 video at Bangor today, it looked like the cars were blocked as follows:
West MI setoff
Coloma setoff (those 2 boxcars)
Buzzi pickup
Holland Waverly Yard pickup
Arlington Metals setoff
Standale Lumber setoff
This gets the cars to be worked closest to the power in the relevant direction.
Arlington’s facility can handle 5 coil cars at a time, with room for a 6th on their lead, although 5 is the norm. Occasionally they get less but usually it’s 4-5 every time they get switched.
I appreciate all your reports and hope this is helpful!
