I&O Oakley Yard
A buddy of mine was at Oakley Yard this morning said a few cars derailed most were empty. Getting a crane to get them back on the line

The flat car in the picture looks like it carries auto frames. Is that the new business on one of the Springfield branches

Re: I&O Oakley Yard
I stopped by on the way home tonight there was a large crane there putting the car back on the track. Kind of interesting to watch. Looks like there is going to be some track repair there as the car dragged a good 75 yards down the track before the stop was made. Looks like three cars went off the track. Correct there are auto frames on that car.

Re: I&O Oakley Yard
Thanks guys. There was speculation the frames might arrive to IORY in Flat Rock by CN. Do you know if that's the routing?

Re: I&O Oakley Yard
I would say no on the frames coming from the CN. I have never seen them southbound on the line.

Re: I&O Oakley Yard
The frames are coming from the Metalsa Plant in Elizabethtown Kentucky. So its a safe bet that CSX is bringing those into Cincy for an I&O connection. Not sure about the north end of the I&0
