Re: SP Heritage
That should be Q132 which means Livernois Yard.

When does the power usually return on Q131?

Re: SP Heritage
Don't know about the area you are around, but Q132's power usually returns through Indianapolis 2-3 days after it originally went through.Ohiorailfan wrote:When does the power usually return on Q131?

Re: SP Heritage
Normally a day or two following if you are in Ohio. However, Q131 is normally a nocturnal run, so the chances of a day light move are rather slim, though Q131 has done it before:

Re: SP Heritage
whoops, sorry. Didn't see the previous comment. Thanks for the Info!
Re: SP Heritage
Usually, it comes back on the next nights train. So if it gets there tonight (Wednesday) it will come back on Thursday night and into Friday morning. That is if they don't steal it for something else. Also, it seems that the leader going up, is the leader coming back, so don't necessarily look for the 1996 to lead coming back. UP has a nasty habit of pulling radios, HTDs, etc off trailing units so that the leader is usually the only one good to lead in a consist.Ohiorailfan wrote:When does the power usually return on Q131?

I didn't doubt it, and I managed to miss it by half an hour.

Re: SP Heritage
FYI, UP 1996 is still at Detroit as Q13116 left before Q13215 arrived.
Re: SP Heritage
Here's hoping they "borrow" the power for something else today (like a Q151 please! ) although I bet it just goes back on tonight's Q131...¶aragraph wrote:FYI, UP 1996 is still at Detroit as Q13116 left before Q13215 arrived.

Re: SP Heritage
Yeah - it was very unlikely from the beginning and now there are reports that the SP will go back on Q131 tonight still trailing. *sigh*CG Tower wrote:Not likely, but possible I guess.
