MQT & CSX Today

Unread post by i995impalass »

Well
I saw on the board MQT was going to have a daytime run, so I went out.
Rans to Fuller, due to the chatter on the scanner, and CSX was switching Padnos around 630pm.

Went to Judd, dident see much moving, and I was in a pinch, so I had to go. Went back to Fuller to find nothing, went to Meijers and back to Tunner, were I saw the MQT headlamp North. Pulled over and caught them at Turner.

I was on the East side of the train, decided to race down to Turner for some last pics, well, I got there before MQT, but they has a stop signal at 723pm,

with no chatter on the CSX or MQT channels , I bailed for my father's day plans.

Enjoy

Got back to my place at 8, saw your post. Heard MQT clear Watson at 2115, not enough time to get outside for pics, so I got some through the good ol' screen wire, and of course none turned out decent. Lots and lots of lime cars, including an old bankruptcy blue Rock Island. Maybe someone will get some pics before the sun goes down (ain't used to seeing MQT in daylight).

I saw them switching Wilbur-Ellis 6ish in Grant. I noticed new bridge timber in Kent City & Sparta. Looks like they're going to be doing some bridge work later this summer.
