Re: Shunt enhancement - success?
Boy, they just will NOT let go of that idiotic connection between the CSX and the MI Line. How much time would that really save, 3 minutes? And be an engineering nightmare to try and tie-in a high-speed turnout in the curve the AML is on there. Dumb. Why does it need to be a high speed turnout in t...

joey, that line is the former GR&Ijoeyuboats wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2024 9:25 pmDid the old Cincinnati Northern run through FT. Wayne Indiana?? Reason I ask is used to run to DANA Axle, in Ft.Wayne, and there was a RR that ran right next to the plant-- even had a spur to Dana, and I always wondered how far north it went.

Re: Amtrak issues
352 was late that day....it happens .....
As for the power being on both ends, that happens occasionally as well, especially if 350's engine had some type of issue on it's way to Pontiac that day....

Re: C&O Runaway Train on December 17th, 1970
Yep, you can see a trace of it south of the main behind where the Evart Industries plant was on the Historic Aerials website... there used to be an old logging branch that left the main by the station and headed north right beside N. River St. and meandered north a ways back in the day....there were...

Re: Highway construction at Trowbridge
Hasn't been any speed restrictions on the CN yet....the flagman has been making sure that the work stops before a train comes thru before giving the train permission thru the work zone....helps with the train velocity (some class 1's measure that in their statistics)

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
It was still there when 365 departed this morning, sitting on the track that runs in front of the yard office....while a crew had just got on it, it was about to be blocked from leaving account of 148 pulling into main #1 to let C&I pull a few containers off the train for customs holds

I tried using the topo portion of this area....for whatever reason the website didn't want to load a whole section of the map, specifically it would show what you posted ( and you can see the mainline below the red line--which is US-41) ...and you can see the contour line for an elevation change btw...

me thinks you misspoke I looked at the 1951 aerial and it doesn't show them connecting....plus with me driving in this area, the elevation change btw the mainline and the tail track for the industrial lead precludes any physical connection I've been curious about how many cars they could handle on t...

Re: Amtrak Train Location Update/Heads Up Thread 2024
supposedly it had PTC issues ----and not ITCS for a change
even more surprising was that the AML train director let the on-time 365 run in front of the late 351 outta 'da crick this morning.....I'm shocked I tell ya....

Re: ADBF/JAIL Changes Made Under New Ownership
well, he had the prints for the ex-NHN units anyways.....
and after crawling around in the hell-hole on a couple of those units with him, to say that they had upgraded wiring is being very charitable at best......the raccoons left their opinion of the wiring issues as well
