Re: Conrail Shared Assets Updates/Heads Up - 2024

NY-6, NS 5334 working the Beltline.

They picked up 2 Boxcars, and placed 3 at Exel.

They were falsely expecting a pickup at Universal Logistics, instead placed 4 Boxcars with no pickup.

They have 4 empty Gondolas for Strong Steel, and the NYC Shove Flatcar.

Nice pics and report CRD. Looks like a few CN GP9r's are still around but probably not much longer.
The slugs that were usually paired with the GP-9s seem to be gone. CN has been buying GP-38s from BNSF for local use around Ontario.

Re: Carleton, MI railfan meet

Why start so late?

Whether 1 or 100 foamers show up, the host should arrive around sunrise.

With train counts being at an all time low, other activities other than sitting by the tracks to make time pass may also help with attendance with emphasis on food, drink, and tourism.

Some random CSAO job WB by Delray at 12:30am, NS 5190 with SOU cab lettering for power.
WB? Direction to Direction?

Boat Line to NS would be NS Oakwood Job returning to Oakwood.

Conrail to CSX would be LV-40 running CSX interchange cars from Livernois to Rougemere and return.
