CSX Q132-05 heads up

[MDH]

At this rate it looks like they will be in MI tonight.

I'm guessing into Toledo around 2:30-3, usually that'd put it over the border by 4 or so depending on any unusually long delays at diamonds. That'd make it an early evening train into Detroit probably - the later the better for lighting on the northbound at this point (short of darkness that is).

S132-05 called out of walbridge @ 2:30

I know but lately Q132s power has been coming back on that train.

Q131 should have the KCS units on it.

Came through Kenton between 1 and 2 as S-132 (to be honest, I'm not a huge stickler about time so I'm not exactly sure) and met Q-233 with UP power at CP-65.

Meanwhile Q-233 should be getting near Sidney now with Q-349 and Q-133 behind him. Q-233 is a small train; 36 axles over the milepost 76 detector on the Toledo Branch coupled with two engines (UP SD70M and triclops SD60M). Solid train of 86' autoparts cars if I remember correctly (no 'racks).

EDIT: Make that nine 86' autoparts cars. It helps to read other threads, including the one about this train.

S132-05 called out of walbridge @ 2:30

S13205 pulled up to Oregon Road at 2:45 and then advanced to Stanley tower around 3PM. New crew got on board and got some blocks to run wrong main up the Terminal - hadn't even made it past Dry Creek when RL called 'em up with some bad news. Apparently the crew that's supposed to build Q131's train isn't qualified to go pick up the engines to do it so they need to wait until the road crew for Q131 comes on duty tonight, they have to build the train and then depart. Meanwhile, S13205 can't go in until Q131 goes out, so RL has nowhere to put him right now. For the time being, S132's going to hold at Consaul for a couple northbounds to get by first and then RL will advance him up to "somewhere between Alexis and Carelton" where they can park it for a while and go get pizza or something. So that's the plan folks, welcome to the railroad!

PS - does bring up the interesting side note of when & on what the power will return on though... don't ask, I'm sure even the railroad doesn't know yet!
