I was just leaving town for work and saw it from US30. 5 minutes too late yesterday
I gave her a heads up to go tape some pictures though.

Re: Everything/Anything CF&E thread...Part 2
We caught the FWLI in Elida around 730 this evening. Will be a while for the video to be posted. Also, it is a FWLI as the crew is based out of FTW. I'm told they have a 1100 crew start and running from FTW for now. The track work is holding them up a bit but may be possible to catch the runs both during daylight if they keep using a FTW crew.
Re: Everything/Anything CF&E thread...Part 2
I would say that is right. The turns have been running as FWLI here lately. Is pretty obvious that they are coming first from the Fort. I saw 1 train yesterday and 2 other trains were through town also yesterday. Unless one was a LIVW again but I never heard it around town. Don't know what the other 2 trains were for sure. One was most likely the turn back to the Fort. Thanks for the info.

I believe a LIVW ran tues because between 5pm monday and 640am tues the grain hoppers were changed out and 3 or 4 hoppers we staged to go to CSP as needed.

Re: Everything/Anything CF&E thread...Part 2
Another nice catch w/especially the coil hood loads. Most all of those flats were CP except for the 2 blue bulkheads. Like the 60' TTX box cars on that 60 car train. That vid makes a great representation of the CF&E FWLI Or LIFW turns. Nice looking CF&E freight. Once again, thanks for videos and pics.

Those are the coil steel car hoods heading to the I&O in Lima. They will end up heading to the DJJX contractor shop on the CIND.
