The swing bridge at New Richmond wouldn't lock and the C&WM 371 is having to be walked across. They are two hours late right now out of Dutch Settlement. The new-fangled trains they're using attracted almost 300 people today!

JUST HEARD THEM CLEAR THE DGH&M CROSSING AT FULLER HEADED NB AROUND 12:50 EDT. SOUNDS LIKE THEY HAD A 4-0-2 LEADING. HARD TO MAKE OUT THE CODE KEY FROM FULLER. BAD CONNECTION ON THE TELEGRAPH.

whistles in Walker Township...Maybe the grand trunk has some wood empties from Walker because it's too early for the northern guys to have turned and burned already.........

Sounds like they stoped to switch Vans on the way north. Track inspector called them and told them they where still sitting in the crossing at Turner St. by a car and a half. Conductor was talking to the RN at the time.

I've seen it where only the last car is halfway on the crossing...just barely stopping anyone from going around the gates....including my grandpa and I, who were trying to get ahead of it

Hmm N903 or N956?

There won't be any N956's until after summer sometime, so probably N903.

Only trains to West Olive cross Riley St. So it is not N956
