NS on the CF&E Updated
Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2015 10:13 am
I've been paying quite a bit of attention to the traffic on the CF&E west of Colsan, and found modern operations quite interesting. On the 23rd for instance we had 66X, 66N? (couldn't get a truly positive ID), and 10E. 10E was obviously a combination 10E/10R (as 10R has run as that symbol in the last few weeks). The head-end cut was obviously BNSF relay freight with the back half chemicals and fertilizer off the UP from North Little Rock. How do they combine these cuts? Fort Wayne? East of Colsan things look pretty good as the 4 still run (169, 15V, 170, 12V) and I also noticed NS has some coal traffic still running.
I'm estimating NS runs a solid 3-4 per 24 hours west of Colsan. There are a lot of one-hit wonders but the total number seems to stay the same.
