Train was by the Hammond-Whiting station at 10:36am central time. For those of you who don't know where that is, it about a mile from the Illinois state line.
Also, one of NS's corporate jets has been sitting at Midway Airport since yesterday, presumably to get some of the shippers riding the train home faster. It has a departure slot this afternoon.

Come up to the dispatching office....
And you'll fast hate office car specials. I was working pittsburgh west (Alliance to Fort Wayne plus others) yesterday morning when it came through. The poor girl working cleveland line (Rochester to Alliance, OH) had our STO behind her the entire time that OCS was rolling along. Kind of neat watching it being weaved in and out of traffic, though.

WKUHL they let nothing move at Toledo/Vickers held a southbound CSX train for an hour nothing on the NS during that time either.

The shippers saw what they needed to see, why not get them back home on the jet? What benefit would there be to making a round trip on the train? That's just wasted time. Personally, I had an opportunity to get a ride on one the corporate jets that my employer had at the time (with my employer in re-organization the fleet no longer exists). There is no better way to travel for business! We had a meeting with Volvo Truck at Hagerstown Maryland, and with the corporate jet we were able to fly direct from Toledo (can't do that on commercial!) and make it there, conduct the meeting and return in 1/2 a day - eliminating all the "dead time" that other modes have.

And not to mention you are running one of the Major Class 1 Railroads!!! Thats just a double negative right there!

6am Justin! Man, Must have heard her. The horn that I did not recognize must have been her! !@#$ I am only .25 miles from that line too!
Would hav been awesome to see her pound the Diamond! Now why did they re-route her through CSX TOldeo and Detroit Div.? Besides Amtrak Wolverine (I forget the number), NS Michigan should have been empty.
