Essexville Coal Back To CSX

[gridejq]

Well if the BNSF side of things stay true then the contract has shifted back to the CSX interchange from the CN.

First N956 ran this past weekend and the 2nd with BNSF 5764 leading BNSF 9723 is called out of Lincoln, NE tonight. C BTMCXK0 38 is the BNSF symbol. It is going to be anyones guess on when this train will arrive Chicago as the BNSF is at a standstill with the flooding and reroutes. No other CXK bound coal trains in the lineup as of tonight.

**Just as a note the E945 that ran tonight was the Essexville (western) coal empties with the returning BNSF power from the inbound N956**

Helpers will be needed at Saugatuck and thru GRR now when these guys show up for Essexville, let alone West Olive...should be fascinating if not at least...interesting.
Beam me up Scotty....energize...

How will be any different from before? Will the traffic to Essexville be increased over what it used to be?

Nice BNSF stab.

Any confirmation on the routing east of Chicago? In the past, N956's had been routed via Toledo.

N95622 - shows that it will be routed through Grand Rapids.
Toledo gets enough trains, we want some more

I thought I'd throw the option out there

I liked all the extra trains here in Durand.
