They leave the engines running, I know on some locomotives an APU is present, keeping the coolant warm (and the bigger engine at operating temp), I imagine they also supply some electrical power.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2022
I just took a quick drive down there and it's just the front light right now. I couldn't get any closer than the Pontiac Trail crossing, otherwise I would've snapped a few pics for you guysamessmann wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 2:38 pmThey leave the engines running, I know on some locomotives an APU is present, keeping the coolant warm (and the bigger engine at operating temp), I imagine they also supply some electrical power.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2022
16:38 - L305 calling a Medium Approach (R/Y/Y) into the siding at Brighton's WE. I checked not ten minutes ago to find a Stop (R/R). L302 is east of them but past Plymouth.
16:47 - Word is L303 is east of Ensel, they'll need to be talked by a Stop indication at WE Fowlerville.
Regarding the headlights, I always see trailing or parked engines with lights on, but dim.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2022
All three units on L302-29 facing forward I believe. Somewhere between 85-90 cars. L303 is being talked by the west end of Brighton, not Fowlerville. 305 picked up seven more scrap loads at Ogihara on the way east today.
Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2022
17:36 - L305 is backing into the siding at WE Brighton to hook back onto their train. They will wait for L303 there.
18:07 - L303 thru Ann Pere, 7250 leading and 513 pushing hard on the rear end. Calling clear for CH 49 at 18:12. John, if you see this, it was nice meeting you.

19:24 CT: Eastbound at Michigan City - thinking it's a loaded coal train. Amtrak is a short distance behind them, pretty much on time but likely to take delay when this freight takes the siding at New Buffalo to let the flagship by.
19:35 CT: P370 by Michigan City, perfectly on time

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - June 2022
A good friend is on P370-29, so I'm trying to make sense of the Grand Rapids Sub.
C800-26 eastbound took the siding at Sawyer to let P370-29 eastbound go in front of them, and is now also continuing east, both trains headed towards the Bangor cam?
