No offense brakie, but as I've told you before, I work for NS and that's my territory, and I know my stuff on that line. Whether or not you've been around for 100 years there, does not mean that you know the territory I dispatch more than I do. Sorry, but what your saying is not reality. We can wai...

well i was hoping the FAIL Train wasn't going to show up on this thread, but it seems as if the train is starting to push this thread in the other direction. :x As a native ohioan who is also from the region (Bellevue) seeing change to the railscene in the region is imperative. Perhaps a trip to Bu...

Just because NS was there, does not mean NS was involved. I'm not saying either way, but if there was any possibility that the demolition, or process of demolition, could result in the tracks being fouled (which in NS-ese means within 10 feet of the edge of the railroad) they would have on scene NS...

deishler sounds safer than fostoria so deishler has camping with elec wifi but just a portajohn its only a 3hr drive from my house is it like a regular campground with sites and elec for each site i might venture out of michigan for a 2 or 3 days im still debating wheather to go to the duluth south...

Um could it be that maybe they are just tearing down the "burnt" house you said was burnt and not actually starting it yet? Just wondering. I don't think so based on what I seen so far it looks like it did when they started clearing the area for the Columbus connector...There's been some other work...

And thus it begins. Here we see the backhoe that demolish the house some time this morning.. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m210/Brakie-2/100_1792.jpg Some of the foliage that needs cut. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m210/Brakie-2/100_1790.jpg And last but,not least the bar that will be tor...

It appears the construction has started.

On the way home from the doctors I notice they have torn the house down some time this morning..


I will post pictures later today.

Can someone clarify where the Bellview connector is?? There is also a discussion going on over on the Fort Wayne board about this. I posted info from Brakie.....Then the guys started asking.. I didn't know but told them I would try to find out.. Chad ( Chaser ) Chad,The "Belleue connector" is the c...

Well, thanks for joining up Brakie, glad to see more Ohio input coming in. I guess we'll see what happens when this connector does indeed get built to see exactly what the traffic levels will be then. Yup that's the way I see it even tho' my information source has been very reliable in times past.I...

This is exactly why I dont post relevant info anymore :) People tend to "make" things up! Nothing made up from me..I was just quoting a NS employee that seem to actually know something.. Maybe the NS employee was passing along what he was told by his superiors..I still don't have the enough evidenc...

Sorry,But,I stand behind my information since its current as of Tuesday 6/23/09..I am sure the man knows his business.As I stated there is 4 trains around the old connector 2 each way..1 Westbound between 7-8am and the second Westbound between 2-4...The first Eastbound toward Conway is between 5-7.....

As a update on the new connector at Bucyrus the power company has relocated some poles.The actual construction is being held up by some unpaid taxes on a bar room that NS bought.This has to be torn down. The house has burn but,still standing.I will keep posting updates on the progress. As far as tra...
