Re: The CCET gains more business on the Peavine

When you attack and talk down to people in the same condescending manner as you did after my first post on this page it certainly makes it seem like your intent is indeed to make people look or feel stupid. And CSX Co I understand your point that respect is earned in most cases. But what's the poin...

Re: The CCET gains more business on the Peavine

I feel like Beavis and Butthead are about due for an appearance... You got that right, there are a lot of "holier than thou" types on here that really need to get a clue. I`ve never seen a more callous bunch of jerks as some of these regulars are. It`s truly a shame that everyone on here is suppose...

Re: C&O 2700

C&O #2776 is the locomotive in Washington Court House. Yes, it is in better condition than #2700, but it still is seeing the effects of the weather and time. From what I have been told the gentleman that used to care for it no longer does it because he is either gotten older or has passed on. Since ...

Re: C&O 2700

The C & O locomotive in Washington Court House isn`t fairing much better than these 2 are either. It is fenced off, but time and weather are taking their toll on it too.

Re: NS Peavine talk

CCET delivered the switch engine to Winchester Ag Services yesterday that they used to use up till NS hauled it out of there last year. CCET has been storing it on their siding in Newtown ever since. They had to tie it down on the Ag siding last night near the main line because the rails started to ...

Re: CCET operations

Not surprised about the truck. Word is that NS is evaluating the line again, it could have been them or CCET. I wonder if your friend saw what color the logo was on the truck because I have seen CCET`s truck several times and their logo is red.

Re: CCET operations

The CCET ran out to Winchester Ag Services today to deliver the switch engine that NS hauled out of there last year. If you go to Youtube and type "Jawtooth" in the search box, you will be taken to his channel page where he has posted around 10 videos of them at various points along the line.

Re: IORY South End Part Five

There have been times when CSX has run trackage rights trains down the Midland from Columbus. In fact there are even a few videos posted on Youtube of them. It`s been a long time since I`ve seen one in Loveland, but it happens once in a great while.

Re: IORY South End Part Five

Nope. the Amtrak Cardinal used to run on it back in the day till they pulled the tracks to Chillicothe. We used to try and race it out in the country but it was way to fast to keep up with. One engine and 3 cars and it could fly. The Midland Sub is uphill till you get to Pleasant Plain than it level...

Re: IORY South End Part Five

The line runs all the way to Columbus. There is a small yard in Midland and that is where the line heads to the North through Washington Court House. The Greenfield Branch heads East from Midland and used to go to Chillicothe and on to West Virginia until Chessie`s big wigs made a very bad decision ...

Re: Bellevue humpyard

Opening the Peavine would alleviate all Bellevues problems.

It certainly couldn`t hurt, but it probably won`t happen either.

Re: NS Peavine talk

Yeah, businesses are always looking for new college educated bean counters to train their way. The problem is, their way isn`t always the most efficient and the old dogs that set up the system that is in place are reluctant to try new ways because it threatens their job. That is the problem in the e...

Here is a very well written article from yesterday`s Cincinnati Enquirer on the impact the Panama Canal is expected to have on Ohio and it`s transportation industries.
