Re: Roadrailers

The same Triple Crown trains are running that have always been running. Extra stuff is going as TOFC. Business is good for the company which is a Trucking company in and of itself whose parent company is NS.

Re: Roadrailers

So much misinformation here. Triple Crown is still very much using Roadrailers as intended, the triple crown trailers you are seeing as tofc are old trailers they have purchased second hand to get them through till they decide what they are doing. The roadrailers aren't being phased out and there is...

They start around 7 daily and go from there. Always beginning at the office in Defiance and going where ever from there.

Re: RRfan meets 2015?

Will MQT be coming this year? For all your arguing above, you weren't at the meet last year either, although I assume that's related to your trying to nail down a date/location so early in the year? I just argue that because it is quite annoying that a certain group wails if the meet isn't in Ohio,...

So Spencer Wendelin had to be making bank, investing nothing, paying employees like crap and still hauling close to 2000 cars a year. What a slum lord.

Re: RRfan meets 2015?

Just to add, face it. GR is near nothing, even Durand is several hours so basically all of your arguments are invalid, Saturnalia. Just bugs me when Detroiters talk about the Chicago Line being so far away in Ohio when it is about 5 miles from the state line. Toledo is more Detroit than it is Columb...

Re: RRfan meets MMXV?

Ohio and the Chicago Line are a mystical and mysterious location to many Michiganders even though it's only 45 minutes away. People are weird. 45 minutes from where? The Ohio border is only two hours away from me, but lack of familiarity with the Chicago Line in Ohio is a bigger deterrent for me th...

Re: RRfan meets MMXV?

Delray, lolz y 2 things are required for a meet location, reasonable amount of trains and a comfortable, safe and convenient place to do so with a large group of people. Without the social aspect it might as well be DINA and we can all go where ever we want. I could not care less about trains at the...

Re: Picture of yourself - Show your face!

Why do they have to like trains? Most of us are well adjusted enough that railfanning is only a small part of our lives.

You don't need to do everything together and if you try to you have problems.

Then again I am an old married fart.
