Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
You surely had, as two G076s had been reported by you on both 08/21/2022 and 03/06/2023, both from Grand Ledge. In addition, a G076 ran from Webberville on 05/05/2023. These according to a search of "G076" from the site's homepage. I was surprised to learn that this symbol existed as I too had forgotten about their past runs. I expect they will become a G803 upon departure from Plymouth, as happened G125-29 after running to Plymouth as L303-31.
14:12 - L305 was heard working Ann Pere along with GLC, the latter of which was visible from I-96. L305 had gone thru East Lansing at around 11:15 this morning, 4017 and 8054.
16:07 - L303-03 thru Trowbridge with 38 cars behind solo unit 849. 5 cars looked to be off of G126, wondering if those are some of the bad orders which totaled 6 per L303-31's radio conversation.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
Hi, was L305 going eastward or westward with the #4017 as its leader when you had seen him at 11:15?

Should become G75702, headed for Chicago and the BNSF.BL2-1843 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 8:39 amCrew arrived in Webberville at 04:25 this morning to put the grain load together from the G077-31 empty delivered to the plant on Sunday evening. Same amount of cars and power as delivered. Departed east for MP25 in Plymouth at 07:55. G077 is usually a generic number west of Plymouth and not the number it came into Plymouth as. Don't believe I have heard his before, if i means anything, but the load went out as G076-02.
Also have an inbound with a crew headed out now to bring in. Arrived as G79030, but currently the train is assigned as G07703. Should be going to Webberville.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
17:39 - L303 east through South Lyon.
Green Oak DD at CH39.1 said 158 axles.
L302 and L303 met in Brighton. Not sure how I missed L302 through town. I was probably too busy yakking on the local ham frequency.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
Regarding the three G076 grain trains Amessmann said ran on the Plymouth sub, evidently these did not stick in my mind because I used the train designation they had when leaving Plymouth over the short generic number when leaving Webberville. The train on 8-21-22 I showed as G791-21, the train on 3-5-23 as G803-06 and the one on 5-5-23 a G817-05. It was my choice to show them this way over the G076 designation as I despise using the generic numbers when possible.
5 of the 24 cars on L302-03 today were Ogihara cars.
