They switched back to a day LSL and night LNL about a month ago. Only works out that way on Monday, the LNL never makes it back to Lima in the morning

I saw the tracks and went looking! Too bad they were going back west and I east. We drove as far as Helena chemical where we saw 7 loaded tanks on the spur.

AWESOME TO SEE 40 through here!

CF&E 13 grain train with NS 8114 trailing a dash 9 just blew across the diamond at Lima. Amazes me to see a 40 mph train on this line not to mention CSX doesn't even do 40 in Lima!

CF&E 11 (Delphos train) with 3886 just hit the 266DD at 39mph. Must have put it in notch 8 coming out of the yard!

Most of the track between Ft Wayne and Lima was officially increased to 40 mph today.. 66X hit the dd west of Van Wert at 37 mph and another train did 40 at the 266.? DD.

For those of you not on Facebook here is an update on a meeting held today: From the briefing I was in today with Public Safety Officials and CF&E Brass: -104 Trainmen were transferred to Ft. Wayne and Mansfield(?) yesterday just to support the additional NS trains. - Up to 6 NS trains per day, alth...

Z6X ethanol train just called for EB signal at NS Tower in Lima a. CG Dispatcher was calling it oil. Are you sure it's ethanol?? For some reason the symbol changed from 66X to Z6X once it was recrewed at the CF&E yard in Ft Wayne. The crew seemed confused why and they had to get new bullitens becau...

There is a 66X loaded oil on the CF&E today. First loaded oil run. I was at wallyworld so I'm am unsure of their location. I heard them on the scanner looking for a yard or trainmaster. I also heard the dispatcher mention a track inspector doing the pre run inspection Lima to Colsan as soon as the 1...

Something got TA Adams to 300. Didnt hear train ID or power. LIVW has Cole to 289

There were photos of the cleared site on Facebook group Ohio Railroader

About 4 times a week for 19A and daily for 16E since that started. Don't need your know it all comments here.

NS 16E eb through Van Wert at 7:35 am

Well I have terrible luck with these minster runs. Yesterday after I went through they came back from Lima with a TTX flat car loaded with steel plates and pulled the 3 coil cars off the wye. 1731 is idling outside Precusion Strip with out a crew.

Multiple reports of a NS 16E taking the CF&E from Tolleston Indiana today, should hit ohio well after dark but this will be the first NS run through to take the whole route.

They don't have a place to run around their train west of St Marys plus they have spurs with switches in both directions so it makes best sense to run with a unit on each end (W O Line). Plus sometimes they will put a loco in the middle and divide their train at St Marys. One will go to Celina to wo...

Hey vanwerty have you seen the old Keith's Railroad DVD #165? It shows Corman switching at Minister switching and a really odd high-wide DODX move with NS when they still ran to the western end of the line and interchanged with NS there. Lot's of other stuff all over western Ohio from I believe 199...

Made my rounds today to see what business is like on the St Marys line. 1 tank car a Helena chemical. Haven't seen tanks for them since 2013 so glad they still are receiving. Omni has a ton of cars like normal. Trupoint Sr Marys didn't have a tracmobil all summer and now its back. Odd for a site tha...

Their NS bound trains. They come either as lite power from Ft Wayne and pick up loads for Colsan or or empty set are picked up and forwarded to Bunge and return loaded. The CF&E grainer on New Year's Eve was a NS bound train despite having a Citirail and a CSX locomtive. How do I know?? I asked.
