Re: IORY North End
What is MTY? Looks to be a lot of loaded coil cars, tanks, and the other usual stuff. I don't see a block of pig iron cars here. Not sure when they will get north since CSX is busy replacing the switch at DT&I junction.

MTYs is short for Empties, and in this case, empty covered hoppers for The Anderson's in Metamora.alittlevanwerty wrote:What is MTY?

Re: IORY North End
Amazing. The absolute stupidity of the I&O. They knew about the track curfew on the Toledo Sub...... Oh that's right there's only one TM for the entire railroad and he's in Cincy.....
The former MKT hoppers are neat. Believe there's also a former Southern that's used for that customer in Cincy.
Aren't those coil cars empty and get loaded at Fulton County Steel?

Re: IORY North End
The crew seemed surprised. They had to have seen the rail and plates dropped last week! The loads are for the CF&E interchange. They hadn't finished building their train so I assumed it was all loads. Has to be about 20 empties to go north though. They are using the LSL to go switch the ethanol plant now, about to cross the CF&E diamond.midland sub wrote:Amazing. The absolute stupidity of the I&O.

Re: IORY North End
I've heard that a few sandies (covered hoppers loaded with sand) from Yuma (MI) make their way down to Cinncy occasionally (maybe it was midland who shared it with me Anyone know who gets those sandy cars?alittlevanwerty wrote:Ok got it. Only 2 green MKT (GLC) and one other hopper in this train.

Re: IORY North End
Maybe IORY fan knows for sure but I believe it's one of the industries along the former B&O main in the Bond Hill area. There's a couple right around where the old N&W line crossed the B&O near 75 that get two bay hoppers.
Re: IORY North End
If you are talking about sand cars, I know for certain that Anchor glass in Greendale on the CIND gets sand cars(have seen mostly CSX family B&O/C&O cars) But I have seen some MKT green 2 bays in McCoullugh Yard not 100% sure where those go

Re: IORY North End
Sand from Yuma is processed for casting (approx 33% of production) and fracking (approx 67% of production). I don't think Yuma sand can be used in glass production. I've heard that some sand from Yuma may be going to OH for fracking but I haven't confirmed it from a reliable source.IORY_fan wrote:If you are talking about sand cars, I know for certain that Anchor glass in Greendale on the CIND gets sand cars(have seen mostly CSX family B&O/C&O cars) But I have seen some MKT green 2 bays in McCoullugh Yard not 100% sure where those go

I'm thinking those former MKT cars go to some sort of foundry company in the Cincy area.

CastFab in Oakley for the sand going GLC-AA-IORY, as far as I know.

Re: IORY North End
IORY southbound heading into Lima, just now by DT&I Jct at 3:15pm. Not many specifics on this guy, as I was walking home from school. 1 or 2 engines (leader sounded like of the ex-CP SD40-2s) and a moderate sized train, going off of sound.

Re: IORY North End
They started out at XN where the LNL crew tied the train down. 65 cars plus 4070/4072. They got on the Ottawa loop and pulled several IHB coil cars from the steel place. I didn't get any video on the loop due to being rudely harrassed by the Putnam county sheriff. I was set up on the berm of the road 20 plus feet away from the gates when he pulled up in his personal SUV and told me I wasn't going to be filming there. I told him yes I was to which he got out of his car and abused his authority. I am still debating going in to make a formal complaint.heartlandguy wrote:IORY southbound heading into Lima, just now by DT&I Jct at 3:15pm.

The LNL ran by the LSL crew had to wait for Q042 to make through from Lima. I shot the 42 from from Road 8M but the LNL cleared the Road M gates before I could film them there. I did manage to get them 4 times between Ottawa and Lima though.

Re: IORY North End
Where exactly were you? If you were near the jail then that's an issue (kinda like the tank plant in Lima). Did you get his name and badge number?

Re: IORY North End
I was standing on the east side of the crossing at Road M where the Ottawa loop parallels the T Sub. I didn't get a badge or name and he wasn't wearing one either. He was wearing a sweater/vest that identified him as Putnam County. I am 95% certain he is THE Sheriff, the elected official. At least his picture looks a lot like the guy on their FB page. Heavy set, mid to late 40s, salt and pepper with more pepper. Stinks like ciggs. Drives a jet black suburban that is about 5-7 years old. Even when I got talked to by the MPs at the tank plant (filming Rj Corman) they were respectful and courteous. This guy talked to me like I was dirt.CG Tower wrote:Where exactly were you?

Re: IORY North End
For those that don't follow the south end ramblings the I&O now has two OC SD40-2s and will be getting two six axles from a leasing company. OC locos are supposed to stay on a stone train moving back and forth between the Midland and Logan Subs. Leased locos are supposed to be work grain trains only.
