What bridge will the UP 4014 cross the river on in St Louis when it goes there this year?

Can't remember if that is the one I scavenged the doors off of for the Plymouth Hist Soc caboose or not. If so, may end up being a parts source for similar cabs

6070 was a chessie system GP40-2, built in 1967.

That's interesting, seeing as the Dash 2 line wasn't introduced until 1972...

First off, it's Toodles...

Line looks terrible because no spray was done last year account no income.

Not much visible occurring, but nonetheless, things are happening. At least what can be done with the whole 'rona issue.

It's been around 51 years, not going away any time soon.

Efforts are being made to preserve as much as possible to museum/historical preservation groups, preferably local.

508 and 509 run via Fostoria with a crew change at North Baltimore. Simply a way to take work away from Walbridge.

There is another one that is soon to be donated on that side of Michigan...

Well, I appreciate the PM that I did get, unfortunately I am still in RRFoam jail and am unable to respond to it. That's how progress is made now apparently. I did get the right contact to help them out though. Thanks anyway.

I have some information that would benefit your group if you could PM me.

903161 has been donated to Toledo Lake Erie & Western. Still in Chessie paint, which will be restored.

Tourist RR, French Lick and West Baden. Not sure on schedule. I think there is a limited amount of freight on the very south end, but the French Lick end is tourist only. Small museum set up. Also a trolley that runs between resorts that is free. Trolley tracker here: http://app.tsomobile.com/public...

No.

Thanks for the info. I was able to track down the current operator and make contact.

If the crew notified the dispatcher that they had left the switch reversed, then the dispatcher is responsible for not notifying the Amtrak crew (I doubt this is the case, but it's plausible, if the freight crew ran afoul of the H.O.S. Law) when they were given the EC-1. Most likely, I believe, tha...

One report has the CSX dispatchers talking the crew through the signal suspension by phone.... Since this is how they were receiving orders no chance for the second crewmember to hear the conversation.... but wait their is no tape or is there with phone traffic? Phones are an acceptable alternative...

The CSX train was Q211-01 (Louisville, KY-Cayce, SC), and was unloading at the time of the incident. Q211 was tied down and unoccupied in a non-controlled, non-signaled siding, not "unloading". What does a square yellow sign with a diagonal red line mean? Warning Sign. Placed approximately 2 miles ...

Yard job on every shift effective today. Yardmasters put back on. Cranes never stopped running, road crews had been doing all the shuffling in the terminal.

Is there an industry/location in Cadillac that is receiving scrap RR ties?
