I was told to post this here. So here it goes....
I had 2 instances yesterday involving the CSX. I was at a public bridge crossing on the Detroit Sub. I noted the rumble of locomotives and saw 2 GE's (Lead was #8776), and another, (Had to be an ALCO) go across the bridge. HOWEVER... NO HORN! There was no indication that he was coming!!
Also, My father and I were stopped at a crossing in Plymouth, just south of the Diamond. A GE Had its ditch lights on, but NO Running Lights! It also had a Caution Signal for the Route south toward the Wayne Yard, on the Toldeo Sub. It had stopped just after the wye, and after awhile the engineer turned off the ditches. Why was he operating with NO running lights?
Can someone clear this up?
