Maybe... depends on what people want to do since my Birthday is that following Thursday so I'm sure people will have my attention.

Never change, kid.

One day I was watching trains and I was walking next to the tracks unfortunately I was alone unarmed and barefoot.

Man, if only you would have been armed!

over in lima on the iory the troyer warehouse was supposedly planning an addition to their facility but we have yet to see any activity here

No activity... if you ignore the massive amount of land they cleared last year...

No Grain customers this far south.

Those aren't grain cars.

Thanks for the update, Y@. Will any 6 axle EMDs remain on the IORY?

According to our CMO, no. The only EMDs we're keeping are the GP38-2s.

For those curious, the following are the Dash 8s and 9s on the IORY. Some are currently inactive for various reasons. Dash 8s IORY 4086 (G&W paint) IORY 4087 (G&W paint) IORY 4088 (G&W paint) IORY 4089 (G&W paint) IORY 7344 (CSX YN2) *OOS IORY 7349 (CSX YN2) *OOS IORY 7383 (CSX YN3) IORY 7395 (CSX Y...

The Navistar frame traffic has been totally gone for well over a year. They moved everything out of Glen Echo and Trinity moved in. Tech II has not moved their transload, it is still happening out there and cars are being staged for them in Springfield Yard. As for the pig iron traffic going away......

Now I do wonder if they do run trains as needed every now and then. If someone could answer that, that would be great)

I already answered. It's been a long time since CN ran anything south of Huron.

IORY
A401 (Northbound)
A400 (Southbound)

Those are no longer the symbols used by the IORY.

I&O usually goes to Flat Rock twice a week, three times if there are enough cars. There are no set days. CN does not run any traffic between Flat Rock and Diann.

Fostoria's C&O is an EAST/ WEST DOUBLE MAIN not a North/ South SINGLE Main.... CSX RULES All Double Mains East/ West, Single Mains North/ South (example Toledo Sub in Deshler and Toledo Branch at Galatea)

Uhhhh, nope.

In fact, I would rate a lack of skilled, seasoned dispatchers as one of the Top 5 operational problems at Class Ones today.

Amazing how after all these years, nothing has changed with him...

Nobody likes Jawtooth.

The ethanol place at Riga has been used only for storage for a couple years now. And I’m not sure what an ethanol plant would want with carbon dioxide anyway...

New traffic out of Flat Rock for the I&O and ADBF. Not sure what customer on the ADBF is getting it, but loads of carbon dioxide started coming out of CN earlier this week for interchange via the I&O.

AARR, another poster said there were 8-10 carloads of covered hoppers with anthracite dust in the spur at Metal X and there probably couldve been more at the transload.

That is the transload. The cars are unloaded in MetalX and the dust trucked across the street to NSBS.

No it doesn't: https://www.flickr.com/photos/50077821@N02/12293202993

LSW1 starts at 0500 and stays in the yard most of the time.
Lima B starts at 0800 and does out of town industry work.
LSL starts at 0900 and makes the Tremont turn.

Thats your daylight stuff.

I&O is still going to Flat Rock 3 times a week most of the time. ADBF interchange is still running heavy. AA not so much, but still active. Since PTC was implemented the 400/401 symbols are gone, they are now I99961 in each direction.

Yes, they do. RCPE 3481. RCPE 2086 was also still on CF&E property as of 3/21.
