What yard is the train headed to?

Racer · Unread post by **Racer** » Wed Jan 16, 2013 6:01 pm

That should be Q132 which means Livernois Yard.

Are we sure that UP 1996 is on this train?

Yes, we are sure...

When does the power usually return on Q131?

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.

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:

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.

Yeah saw it go by my house here in Findlay and figured you guys would like to know.

Not a bad little branch line... Between the belles and heritage I am getting spoiled.

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

Yes, fun line indeed:http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvJq5RU

FYI, UP 1996 is still at Detroit as Q13116 left before Q13215 arrived.

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...

Not likely, but possible I guess.

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*

Went To Livernois Yard this morning, talked to the diesel mechanic working the power for tonights Q131 and the UP1996 will be the lead unit ...unless the crew finds exception to it. Train due out of Livernois at 830pm
