NS/DEEX Eastern Coal?
Had a Westbound, eastern DEEX coal load come into Toledo day, got recrewed at 285 in the siding after sitting a few hours, and went north. Was wondering if this is also part of the added business NS got when it took the coal business from CN?

Re: Ford Expanding Flat Rock -- CN Implications?
Flat Rock could see a bump. I do have a question, as I have noticed CN getting quite a few large auto rack shipments at Lang now since the coal traffic is gone. Are they running these up to Flat Rock or are they going further north on the GTW?

Re: RKA / Shell
Been shipping again since mid-summer. Seems to be oil, but I haven't seen a good look at the placards.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: 12/4/16
Per field report, a CSX freight on the ground at Ironville and it doesn't sound too good.

Re: OHIO Commerce Center
Larry's stores stuff near Lordstown, and then brings it on property in McDonald as needed as far as I remember.

Re: JAIL traffic
Reid hasn't appeared to have had service in sometime. Their little GE 25T was looking quite forlorn a few weeks ago.

Re: Lansing Train Show 2016
Grabbed the C&O Michigan Vol 2 and the C&OHS E7/8 book myself. Quite the steal. Almost every Morning Sun book you could think of that guy had. And... $15 for the first and $10 for each additional was AWESOME.hoborich wrote:Which ones did you get?Cleaned up with the Morning Sun books ?

Re: CSX Locomotive Roster News, Updates & Information Thread
Guess you can add this as a "one time deal" CSXT SD40-3 #4384 dressed, rather sloppily, as a "Clinchfield" unit. R. Flanary photo from Facebook. Honestly, it looks like crap.

Yup, I have to say Amtrak has been decking the Great Hall, for the last few weeks. Looks inviting as folks visit the new Metropolitan Lounge.

Re: CN SD60F Status?
Quite a bit is actually being stored here in the US, some of the shops in Illinois have had lines of stored locomotives recently and as SD80MAC said, mostly Cab units.

Yes. SBV runs theirs somewhat frequently from what I've heard. They also have a original B&O scheme one and a C&O scheme one too IIRC.

Re: BO Tower Countdown
There are several bridges, but I don't think any have control of signals anymore. Cleveland, Maumee, and Hick come to mind DB lost it's a few weeks ago with the conversion. Maumee I don't think does as Toledo Terminal has operational control and I think Hick (AKA CP503) isn't a controlled tower any...
