Didn't mean to sound cross, just not much happening to really shoot much. Don't mistake my bluntness for being mean.
Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
Any updates on traffic or any maintenance improvements?
Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
MOW crews working 5-6 days a week on the line. Traffic is doing well.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
Anyone happen to know if they'll be operating trains this coming Monday, Memorial Day?
Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
I don't believe they worked last year, but who knows.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
I would be surprised if they operated Monday so I would not bet a trip on it.
Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
Caught 2 trains running east from Woodburn toward Defiance, 1st cut looked to be for Defiance while the 2nd cut looked to be headed to Lafarge. Track is still really rough but atleast they are able to keep the cars on the rail...

Eastbound at Domersville Road as I came home from work, Gettysburg Unit with 2 hoppers and 6 boxcars.

Well, the ND&W has an ex-BN SD9 waiting for them in the interchange.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
Well scratch that, somehow she got dropped off here, is supposed to be for Milford Junction, also it somehow made it to Avon then back to Toledo then was supposed to be on 509 to Milford Junction but for some reason got set off on the ND&W interchange after getting dropped off at the yard in Defiance.
Still scratching my head about this one...

Perhaps there was an issue that required setting it out for repair or inspection (how bearing, who knows). There may very well be a reason...Or just a bill of lading error. Or maybe to make us all wonder.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
Probably a billing issue. Paperwork says to leave it there and it's another railroad why dig into it more?

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
Which 3 days of the week? From previous searching in this topic, seems like it'd be a Mon/Wed/Fri schedule.MagnumForce wrote:Since Y101 only works the NDW three days a week it is still there.
