Got some Bunge cars on the siding that weren't there tuesday, does a FTW crew work this elevator?

Also caught the return run to FTW in Van Wert

Love that horn on 6415! Like the vid in VW of the FWLI turn going back to the Fort coming around the curve into town from the east. Also, like the going away shots of the train progressing through town crossing by crossing. Liked your RJC and I&O vids too. Great Job and thanks for taking the time!.

Thank you again for taking the time time to watch and also for your car counts.

LIVW in town this morning, heard the horn around 6:50am when I got home. Went by the VW yard aound 8:30, 4032 parked and shut off with no crew. Must have hit 12 hours.

This is yesterdays FWLI, came through VW approx 330pm.

FWLI through VW about 615 pm today. Had CORP 4024 leading and at last I caught MNAR 3898 though I am not positive this is the first time it been east of FTW. Enjoy the pics for now while the vid slowly uploads.

I think that CORP 4024 may be working the elevator here in Ada right now. Looked like it from 3 blocks away with hardly any light hitting the locomotive.

They have been doing a lot of the Lima based local runs at night now since the FTW crew is running the FWLI.

FWLI should pass back through town the next hour or so, Im gonna try to get if if not too late and it doesn't sneak into town. Hopping 4024/3898 stay in Lima for a while.

3898 and 4024 west through town. Got vid, don't know how long its gonna take cause my uploads keep crashing today

8/22/12. WB FWLI turn at 11:18PM. Leading long hood forward were MNAR 3898 and CORP 4024 with 32 cars. Consist had 17 grain hoppers: Bunge traffic, BN, CP/SOO and MWCX, 9 box cars: 6 CN, 2 HS and 1 TTX, 4 loaded gons: 1 high sided and 2 tank cars including Bunge. Nice to see MNAR 3898. Heard it might be around here. I hope it stays also.

I had heard they plan on sending the remaining two six axles (9392 or 9362 SP Tunnelmotor and NREX 5597) to another RA line this year. I assume the MNA 3898 will be one of the replacement units. I also heard G&W is going to replace everything but the GP38-2s on the CFE/I&O/CIND.

Exactly what property did the 3839 come from, because this is the first time I've seen it?

Came from the Missouri & Northern Arkansas

I hope for no sweeping changes from G&W other than more customers, larger car counts and daylight running.

At last I have 1 vid up.

Well here is the other 8-22-12 FWLI vids, first one in Delphos and second the return through VW.

Caught 4032 thrs coming back from the east.

this is thursday's FWLI finally uploaded

We caught the FWLI last evening, it look like some of the CLSX aluminum hoppers were coming out of storage on the I&O.

831/12. EB FWLI at 4:23PM. Running solo and long hood forward was SCRF 6415 with 15 cars. Train had 8 box cars: AOK, YKR and TTX and 1 other, 4 covered hoppers, 2 IHB coil cars and 1 tank car. A lot of short trains right now. Hope it picks up eventually. At least around soybean harvest.
