K637 dead in Fostoria

Unread post by telus6429 »

Well I am standing next a dead K637, with ICE 6422, ICE 6428, & CSXT 8811 at the NKP B&O diamond, with 2 units with traction motors not loading... He is litterly 10 feet pass the signals at wood st, blocking an Ns train sitting at the C&O diamond... The crew has tried a few things but still can not get anywhere... They may borrow power from the c&o yard.... Sorry I can't share a pic, since I am on my iPhone... Will post later from home...

There was an "issue" with CSX in Toledo. I don't know how that area functions, but I guess that's why there weren't too many eastbounds (compass south) on the former C&O today. There were quite a few westbounds, though!
