Thought you gents and ladies would find this interesting

FYI Until this recent update by ND&W our tracks(lafarge) looked far better than theirs HAHAHA The old Cinn Northern part that we own has held up very well. We spend quite a bit on our tracks every year So from the switch at Cecil down to the plant is all LaFarge track? Yes Holcim(as its now known) ...

Here is the New customer

Correct. They just haven't received the money from the state yet!! According to crew that switched cement plant!

Not to be a downer but they are derailing a couple times a week going west. FYI We have never stopped using the rail. Cement, cement kiln dust and burnable fuel are always coming and going from and too the plant.

Local crew told me the loco was going to Napoleon. That's all they knew. As for the rebuild project. They have contracted the stone from my work place. No date on when they are starting.

This showed up in Woodburn, IN today headed for Napoleon!!

Modoc northern Loco gents

Sorry for the late reply. Yes that's too late to catch them. They are running till about 6 at the latest right now. Daily from cement plant to woodburn, IN, unless they have problems(wink wink).

They are running daily from Woodburn to Defiance and back. They stop when they are out of hours. Currently cement is shipping big to Columbus. And the regular chemical cars for Systech are on the train most days. We are sending about 20 railcars of cement a week to Columbus. Tracks are better and th...

Little oops east of Woodburn, In. They've been working to fix it for a week and a half.

Long train of box cars coming through Antwerp this Morn. A very slow crawl with that many cars HAHA

Antwerp and Woodburn no longer use the rail. The expense to put in safety cages was to much, they both use trucks now. Antwerp is used for storage of excess rail cars now.

We at the cement plant and Systech are using rail about two to three times a week. Cement inventory is low so we aren't shipping as much as Columbus would like. Systech very busy but not using much of the rail cars right now. Truck in bounds are keeping them busy.

Currently not loading any cement at the plant. When shipping season starts you should start to see the older gravity feed hoppers get some use. Although with the lafarge holcim merger there is talk of closing the terminal that we supply. The pressure diff cars will be leaving the area as we no longe...

The fertilizer plant in woodburn has had a couple deliveries with those cars!

Lafarge/systech spent 70000 dollars this year just on our little section of track. Most of that went to our a new siding, but the expense aside from that was substantial. For a company to spend money on the main line is silly to even think. That being said the rail is in use and we r trying to do ou...

so what is the route of these trains?? And isnt that great to see again!!!!! Video???

Lots of tie work being done between cecil and antwerp. 20 plus cars in woodburn for ND&W!! Really using woodburn far more than M&W ever did..
