B&O (BNSF) Happenings - II

[JTNikon]

Around 11 this morning, CSX pumped both N820 and N859, both loaded BNSF coal trains through Deshler, one right behind the other. Both has two units aboard. Cincy to Toledo line dead except for long G009 that ran up from Lima to Custer, dropped all cars at Custer and came back light to Lima, as well as Q375. Sperry rail truck also ran north behind G009.

Trackwork south of Deshler has affected times for the north-south traffic for the last several weeks.
The Sperry truck is not a terribly uncommon occurence as it works north of Deshler at least on a monthly basis.

But aren't those "local" grain jobs interesting? I remember when the EL was still in from Kenton (KN) to Alger and you could get a CR symbol JAL going out there. Neat stuff

JTNikon was that you at Deshler at about 8:00-8:30? Only one person there. I was on Q39504 with one unit 4791.

[JTNikon]

No, I got there around 9:30...must have been my twin...

Ok who ever it was did not look that happy even though he was watching trains.
