I know one former Mayor of Cincinnati that wrote checks to hookers.

I never knew one that did.

Ken.

None that I've ever seen. There's a few pictures in "A sampling of the Penn Central" book. A few random pics of the EL pop up from time to time. Growing up in town in the 60's-80's these was plenty of action back in the day.

Interesting. The line between Cecil and Woodburn ever get any attention yet?

Thanks for sharing all the updates, I really enjoy the MOW post.
Ken.

Thanks for the update. How's traffic level's?

A strike would make the foemers go insane and they would upload more Train Simulator vids on youtube. So I pray their is no strike.

And here you are commenting about it.

According to Google Earth, there is an existing old rail bed going northeast from Cecil. Three thousand feet of new track gets it nicely up to the county road with room to spare. I imagine rehabbing the old rail bed would be cheaper than building new. There is also a siding east of Cecil that is nea...

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

Will be locating this at the quarry near Cecil. https://www.crescent-news.com/news/local_news/pioneer-lines-planning-new-shipping-facility-in-paulding-county/article_a829d15c-9afe-11ec-8d13-7bbb3add6976.html?fbclid=IwAR03_lNbBHIFMwxw4CbdURXwTbK-ye7Tdpfd0jfatSUW77K4hvOuwTUzhJA I'd think this would b...

"The have been updating the tracks on this line but it is hard to tell." So what explains the pile of crap ties that have been replaced and the pile of empty spike buckets? Not once did it appear to me that something was going to derail. Why do people ruin their own videos by making such unfounded ...

Glad to see the Fort Wayne Railfan board back up. A few ND&W threads:

That 10 miles of new #136 rail and trackwork is going to look pretty awesome compared to what everyone's used to.

Yes they were hauling stone before November 29th. But before that date, it was not revenue. It was for commercial construction.

So they were hauling the commerercail stone for free??

You have any pictures of this crossing? There were 3 crossings on St rt 68 thru town. Northside of town was the PC (Big Four), middle of town was the PC (T&OC) and the Southside of town was the Erie/Erie Lackawanna.

There was a post in Yard Limits about a new transloading yard being built on the East side of Ft Wayne for the movement of GM trucks on the CF&E. Anyone know if this true or have more details? Thanks, Ken

[quote}Neither of those short lines appear to have seen any kind of life extending work. I think it's doubtful that there are enough solid ties and good rail to relocate. Get the scrap value out and into their bank account seems likely to me.[/quote] So how do you know the rail isn't any good? Anyth...

If anyone can confirm or deny these rumors, as well as provide some details on PRR signal locations, types (i.e. masts, brackets, bridges etc), and best places to shoot the still existent ones on the ex-PRR CFE main Line, I would greatly appreciate it![/quote] Van Wert at the CN crossing.

Thanks for the correction. For some reason I thought it was going in the SouthWest quadrant.

SouthWest quadrant.

The last time I was there the railroad was still using it but it has been at least 10 years ago. Not many trains run there anymore my buddy lives by the tracks tells me maybe four a day sometimes six but nothing much there like it was in the past. CSX signal crews still us it. I think the train cou...
