One more thing. Does this mean that Cincinnati Eastern will be gaining additional track access as a result of this deal? Since the Peavine will no longer exist as a through route, it would make since that all trackage from the end of the line to Clare Yard would be under the CET control (even if no...

Why would NS now be abandoning the east end of the line, when they've let it sit for so long unused? What has changed that will cause the railroad to all of the sudden file the paperwork to abandon this section? In order for the City of Cincinnati to sell the Cincinnati Southern to Norfolk Southern...

The line is in good hands. Regional Rail has a good “track record” and is well funded. In a great position to make the needed investments to take company to next level. Construction to hook up Purina’s lines will start in next few weeks. Watch for track and other improvements over the next couple ye...

Rather than he said she said, how about actual info. https://www.bluescope.com/content/dam/bluescope/corporate/bluescope-com/investor/documents/2023_BlueScope_Presentation_US_Site_Visit_Day_One.pdf Go to page 39 I believe and look at column called DRI/HBI. Note, IORY primarily hauls HBI and DRI, not...

Downsizing - Cohen closed a number of smaller underperforming facilities.

L331 is a Kenton / Columbus / Kenton turn that works overnight.

Favorite line - “As a member of the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad Fans Facebook Group…”. Oy Vey - these people are exhausting.

You are not sorry. How do you sleep at night knowing east of Jay Bird Rd is an unlimited and untapped bounty of foamer dreams and expectations....?

I'm an evil bastard and dream crusher so I sleep quite well at night

New second plant announced is a wet food canning plant. It WILL NOT be rail served. Any (if any) increased rail traffic resulting from this canning plant will be in form of additional cars handled through the yet to be constructed rail infrastructure at the original plant currently under constructio...

Interesting thanks for the info. So the wetlands there is that a drainage issue or is there a pond back there? Just marsh/swampy area. Officially designated as a wetlands with all the environmental considerations that go along with it. In the old days, you would simply dump a bunch of rip rap and f...

Not yet. They may have done some earthwork on Purina property, but that would be it. As been stated in previous public releases, CCET needs to build an 1,100 foot lead through Norfolk Southern owned wetlands to connect to the 11,000 foot system of plant trackage. This require lots of permits and con...

From the load out area the quarry to the end of the line at Jaybird Road, there are a GRAND TOTAL of FIVE property owners adjoining the track - 3 individuals/families and two companies. Of the three private owners, they are all right down at the Jaybird end, one owns maybe 40 acres squeezed between ...

There is a Scioto County commissioner blowing his own horn about turning the line into a trail - simply something he can use as a noise maker for the election. It's not happening. The CURRENT Regime at Norfolk Southern is content to sit on out of service lines indefinitely - be they the east end of ...

Curious to hear everyone's take on it now that the PEB has released there recommendations. On 8/1 on this thread, I said the PEB goes nowhere. I was wrong - it went to worse than nowhere. Addressed some pay issues, but punted most quality of life issues and on page 32 of the office transcript dropp...

Plenty of room at Sharonville. Why would you want to go all the way to Moraine and Berry would be less useful than any other solution (Unless you plan on relaying the line up Wauson Way and thru Xavier). The realistic, not fantasy, options being discussed all strictly involve Clare or Sharonville, w...

I would agree that there are a few on here that have bad info on the Peavine. But I think you and I might disagree who those people are :lol: Purina is NOT opening this fall or next spring. I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is wrong. Since I've got a few minutes, let me spe...

Not stirring pot and certainly not a Peavine hater. Just love some of the authoritative posts from people talking out of their ass not having any first hand knowledge of what’s going on. Some of the things stated as fact have been laughable. As for TBT, there is no article. TBT is just growing - add...

I hate talking politics, but the only way this is settled fairly once and for all is for there to be a strike that the general public feels. The PEB likely goes nowhere - the gulf between carrier and labor is huge. So on/around 9/15 when cooling off period ends, labor can strike (or carriers can loc...

Melvin is wholly owned subsidiary of the John R Jurgensen Company and is on the I&O - not CCET. Their stone is for their internal use at their asphalt plants and highway construction projects. Hanson is on CCET. The are part of Lehigh Hanson, who is a wholly owned subsidiary of Heidelberg Cement Gro...

Hanson. Unloads on mainline.
