That is interesting because in 1967 or 1968 my second cousin was laying on the tracks in that same vicinity.(passed out drunk) In that case the train didn’t stop. I remember the family gathering at my great uncles home on the day it happened. It is one of the earliest memories that I have and it was also a was closed casket funeral from what I have been told.(he was badly mangled and in many different pieces)

CSX L301 had to stop for someone on the track

Unread post by Landoncsx »

CSX L301 had to stop due to someone on the tracks at CG32 Milepost and didn't come through Holland until 4:50 PM and he took a hour to finally go due to a person on the track and I am sure that CSX L301 called the cops or someone did to arrest that person on the Tracks for trespassing and might have had a Mental illness. date was 1/12/23.
This was at East Saugatuck Mi from what i heard on the GR Sub.

This evening I noted 4 tankcars at Sherwin Williams in Holland, along with a single loaded bulkhead flat parked outside the spur door at lumberman’s. I forget how many cars they can fit inside on their dock at Lumbermans.

How is the Hamilton NW transfer taking place these days? Are Hamilton bound cars just left on the main south of 196? How are the outbound cars from Hamilton handed back off to CSX Y121?
