Not according to this: http://fortwaynerailroad.org/track765.html

Or are you just being the north end of a southbound horse (as usual)?

Tomorrow morning sometime, there is no schedule on the deadheads, you just need to keep track using the GPS tracker. FWIW the Friday move left at pretty much 9 on the nose.

GPS tracker was broke most of the day yesterday. It showed in Carothers most of the day except for the first half of the first trip.

Was by Clyde at 0745, Fremont at 0750, Kingsway at 0757, Oak Harbor at 0805, and Homestead at 0950. Didn't see very many another souls besides the 765 group van, one guy who was on the other side of the crossing at Kingsway and one guy near the US 20 bridge at Fremont.

I wonder how they are planning on following the route they have indicated on the site. The track is gone along the blue line they are showing... :?:

If you look here:

http://fortwaynerailroad.org/track765.html

There never was a connection that follows the "blue line". The obvious and only sensible route is that they'll take the Toledo Belt from Homestead to CP 286 on the Chicago line where they'll use that line over the Maumee to CP 289 and then spin around Toledo yard via 289-56-292 (one way or the other).

It'd be physically possible to use the Wheeling bridge, Ann Arbor and CSX trackage rights to get to the Detroit line and down from there, but I really, seriously doubt they'd involve no less than 3 other railroads and a roundabout move like that...

Alright, help me out, this weekend does anyone know the schedule for the three (3) runs? Also where is Airline Junction? Haven't been up to the Toledo area before.

Thanks!!
