Are you sure it wasn't 'median clear' as in the space between the tracks? If a MOW crew was working between the tracks, then they would have given that indication to the dispatcher and/or engineer. This is just a guess on my part, though. I didn't hear the scanner, you did, so you'd be able to tell me I'm full of it. <br /> <br />As for the odd number of axles, well, yes, it is possible for the detector to miss one (or add one). I've heard it a couple of times on the error detector on the CSX East/West line through Hardin, Ohio - can't remember the milepost number, although I live about 1/4 mile from milepost 164.0 and Hardin is about 4 or 5 miles to the west. Either the RED isn't working properly on the train, or the detector doesn't get a clear report from the RED. Could be any number of things, but unless there's a car (or locomotive) minus an axle, it isn't going to be a physical problem with the train.
