Yes, they still load out at Elgin. Only a handful of trains this year...

Eric at CG

Thanks. I don't pass through Elgin often so I was curious also!

NS run through passing Van Wert at 11am, not sure the symbol but looks like another 19A? NS 8439 ex Conrail leading.

Corman will have cars stored on the line again this winter. There is about 130 GCPX hoppers in the south Lima yard. I was out by Ft Recovery recently and the line was empty so I am positive these are inbound.

Clouds never caught this guy! Photos to come

Runs with anything CSX or NS puts on it. I've seen more NS units on it but also CSX, BNSF, UP and leased power.

In the summer they generally start their day out at Lima having left the locomotives there overnight but once its freezing the engines sleep in the shop. Make them easier to find, either they're out or not!

They pick up their interchange from the south Lima yard, both CSX an NS cars. They have their own "Celina Yard" at the distribution center, 4 tracks.

Did you chase it all the way? I might have seen you somewhere Upper east.

I hear he left Ft Wayne about 3:30. Maybe near convoy?

NS 955 eb at Hamlet at 1:05 pm. Heard he will lay over at Ft Wayne but also heard Lima so heads up!

The rumor mill says the NS OCS will run the CF&E east this week. No confirmation yet but I've heard it from fb, train orders and a NS angle.

3042 is on the property, I saw it at the Ft Wayne shop today. Also got a better look at 4056. At least they made sure the paint was a match with this one.

Another lite power move eb, a CP wide leading an NS wide. Qualifying NS crew fast track?

I've tried about 20 times with numerous videos, no success

Is there a reason why when I paste the "IwU5LKKkfbI" part of http://youtu.be/IwU5LKKkfbI between the youtube brackets it will not bring up the youtube player like in the past?

Looks like they got another leaser. HLCX 7843 parked at Sugar St coupled to 4072/4028

They run out of Carey about 15 miles south of Fostoria. Listen to 161.025 for track warrants

MagnumForce wrote:Yes on all accounts, although be aware there may be some work related shutdowns over Thanksgiving.

If Fostoria is slow, go find a wheeling train. They don't believe in holidays!

I just heard a NS 9142 at mp238 get a track warrant 242 to Lima west. Not sure if thie is a CF&E grain train with NS power or a run through...

Maybe G&W is naive enough to think the new management won't sue. Better email Pioneer a picture Brent
