Amtrak P371-07 Headsup

They didn't use the wye last night so will have to back down to the station this morning. Should be fun for the conductor on the rear, very cold and slippery roads as well ![Sad :(](https://mail.railroadfan.com/phpbb/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)

I'd be pissed if I were a customer riding to Chicago today.railroadfan wrote:P371 was running quite a bit behind schedule this morning.. as of around 8:35, they were just crossing Plaster Creek. Heard them still chatting with East Tower in Wyoming Yard as of 8:50am...
Really? I'd still love to see that, though. The locals would probably be freaked out.amtrak1007 wrote:As far as the wye over monroe, I believe it to be too tight for the 85' Equipment.
I know that Amtrak parks each night on the interchange between CSX and GRE.. is this one particular track owned by CSX? If it is, then it makes sense that Amtrak wouldn't be able to run on GRE over to Monroe if they didn't have trackage rights.J T wrote:Really? I'd still love to see that, though.

A shot of the Amtrak coming across the Gd. River trestle there would be SO cool, too.
Well, they could always politely ask.railroadfan wrote: I know that Amtrak parks each night on the interchange between CSX and GRE.. is this one particular track owned by CSX?

NS owns the track from a 1980's(?) track realignment agreement, they own all tracks west of the former Baldwin sub division, and CSX to the east. CSX has a trackage agreement to use that track for interchange with the GRE.railroadfan wrote: I know that Amtrak parks each night on the interchange between CSX and GRE.. is this one particular track owned by CSX?
