Re: Fostoria Train Density as of 2015

There are lulls in the action in the afternoons but over all it is busy. Maintenance windows will also have an effect this time of year. I passed through Fostoria yesterday. At 7:30 in the morning the MOW crews were on track one replacing rail in town. I returned to town at 5:30p in time to watch cr...

Correct. The counterpart to Q008 is Q007 not Q009.

Re: Rj Corman Western Ohio Lines ST Marys, SPEG, Greenville

Rj Corman ran through celina tonight. They had one center beam car of lumber for Coldwater. It appears that they left locomotive in Coldwater for the night.

The storage tank cars have been pushed down past Township Line Rd. There would be room for one more trainset of storage cars if needed.

Re: Rj Corman Western Ohio Lines ST Marys, SPEG, Greenville

The train ran to lima via NS through Findlay and Beaverdam. It has apparently been stored in on Rj Corman Southwest of Coldwater based on posts on other sites.

Re: Everything/Anything CF&E thread...Part 3

I'm working a project in Van Wert (West Main Street) for next few days or weeks and was wondering what traffic is like on the CF&E durning the day right now. I know there is/was a curfew for track work that had most of NS trains running at night. When does that work wrap up and is it 5 days a week? ...

Re: The CCET gains more business on the Peavine

The over used saying: win win applies. NS will still get a majority of the traffic and if CCET grows the traffic and prospers that's just more for NS to add to the bottom line without all the hassle of the switching.

Re: Rj Corman Western Ohio Lines ST Marys, SPEG, Greenville

RJ Corman is switching out some hoppers in Celina today. They have 3 boxcars,
4 gons of scrap metal, and some plastic pellet hoppers depending on how many they pick up or drop.

Also looks like they are going to do a small tie project this spring as there are a handful of ties along the line.

Re: Need answers This Saturday or Monday to railfan?

Saturday will almost always be better than a Monday. Only thing that might make this Monday a bit more busy could be a lack of crews on Sunday that may push more traffic to Monday. Why pick? Go both days!

Re: The Swanton Railcam and DelayInBlock.com

Text at top of page speaks of two views. I only see a view looking east. I hope the west bound shows the crossing. Of all the railroad webcams currently online I find I prefer the ones that show crossings. Signals are also a plus if possible. It gives a viewer something to look at when there are no ...
