From TO site. Starting June 20 Q-130 and Q-139 will operate via the former C&O from Fostoria south timetable east

Both trains starting with tonight (21) are carded via the C&O. On top of that but not of much interest to the Ohio list is that Q139 will operate over the Buckingham Branch RR between Clifton Forge and Richmond.

If on time everything east of Marion should be under darkness for us Ohio fans but we all know how things on the railroad go.

Now if I could only find out when Q122/123 will start running on the Buckeye Line through Columbus instead of going through Ridgeway...

It operated over the Burt Line one day last week and was a whopping 16 axles; two six-axle engines and one car!

Your wish may be granted soon as all the undercutting work at CP-138 appears to be complete.

The Burt line? Refresh my memory on that.

Q122 was on the Fostoria webcam earlier today, he told me July 29th for Q122/123 on the Buckeye Line.

Burt Line = Columbus Line.

Oh, so it did come through Dennison Switch and take the Buckeye Line to the yard? I'm surprised I missed it, I must've been out somewhere.

Are Q130/139 coming through Columbus overnight? I haven't heard either of them on the scanner yet this week.

Yes.

Both run at night through here. Q130 came through around midnight last night I believe. Q139 should come through tonight after dark.

The C&O was busy on Tuesday. I heard six over there and only saw three on the Sandusky Line.
I've been getting lucky along the Burt Line, lately! A lot of K100 series trains. What are those, ore?

yes

Q139-21 and Q130-22 met at Robbins on the Northern this morning just before 7 AM. Both are currently about 4 hours behind schedule.

I have been fanning the C&O a lot lately and I finally caught Q130!

I was along the Sandusky District when I started hearing this guy call off across town.

Brandon, was that picture taken early in the AM, or late in the day? I still have not seen either train come through Scioto in daylight, I think I just haven't gotten lucky yet.

Yesterday Q130 passed through Marion about 8:00 PM.

Yesterday's Q130 was the earliest we have seen into Columbus to date. However, Q139 has departed Parsons westbound at least 3 times at 645 AM or later, today included.

The photo was taken at exactly 8:30 PM.
