NS 8099 on CSX

[MagnumForce]

So the 8099 has now been through every piece of track in Deshler.

It went around the SW Wye?

Yeah no, I just worked 8 hours then trimmed the hedges and mowed the lawn. I am a little delirious from the heat or just an idiot. I'll go with the former

Q509 terminates in Garrett, so yes, in theory it was set out in the yard (or engine terminal).

FWIW the NS 8099 was sitting at the fuel pad at Stanley facing north with the same other NS unit facing south behind it as of 12:10 today (6/20).

Sometime late morning today (6/21) the NS 8099 Southern unit ran light power (with the 8009) up the Toledo Terminal from Stanley to CN Lang yard as Y112. They are currently in Lang yard waiting on Z247 to leave (typical CN power - heading to Stanley) before doubling up their train of empty Detroit Edison coal cars. I believe (based on how this typically works) the yard crew will double out the train and run it down Glenwood or White & Ford Rds on the Terminal where a road crew will be put on to take it down the Toledo Sub to Deshler where they'll turn west and run to Chicago for interchange to BNSF.

The bad news: The 8099 will be trailing on the train.

Can't say for sure when it'll get out running south/west of Toledo, but it'll probably be a couple hours yet between waiting, doubling out, making their way down and then crew changing.

The train with the 8099 trailing was sitting crewless at Glenwood Rd as of 5PM waiting on the road crew.
