Re: CSX New Castle Sub Blocked, Q136 Derailment

I was going to chase E812 on the Columbus Line, but they had him stop five miles away from where I was sitting because of the derailment. This was in Delaware. Are they going to re-route trains?

An Afternoon on the Sandusky Line

The video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98lHaSJ9aFM I went out to watch trains late in the day on July 23, 2011. It turned out to be a pretty busy afternoon with a total of five trains in the short amount of time. The first spot I visited was the Campus View Blvd. overpass in Worthington, Ohio. I ...

Hello, I was really hoping this would make it, but it got overprocessed. :( http://www.railpictures.net/viewreject.php?id=949249&key=0 All I did was boost the fill light, a little recovery, and added more contrast. What could I do differently? I got this one on the day before and it looks the same w...

Re: Q-130 and Q-139 will operate via the former C&O

The C&O was busy on Tuesday. I heard six over there and only saw three on the Sandusky Line.
I've been getting lucky along the Burt Line, lately! A lot of K100 series trains. What are those, ore?
