Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

L331 is a Kenton / Columbus / Kenton turn that works overnight. Thank you for confirming my original guess that it came down from Kenton. I just saw it again early Wed am came south through CP Mounds around 1:30am, then I believe that night M313 came north around 4am and the L331 was to follow it u...

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

Does M353 currently have a counterpart out of the Honda Plant back to Chicago? Today was a very short train 24 cars seen on the Deshler ca...

Re: dash 8 past bellefountaine north (3/15/23) any info on 573?

That's an old BNSF B40-8, from the video that is either M331 or M332 depending on if it was heading East or West, if it was heading East on M332 it was almost certainly headed to Larry's Truck & Electric or LTEX in MacDonald, Ohio who repairs and leases engines, if it was heading West on M331 it was...

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

There have been a whole lot of extras on the Scottslawn recently, seems traffic has picked up. Have seen multiple coal trains now including what I think was an N312 had a DPU midtrain this week.

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

Today's Q311 had CSX 5500 Spirit of Cincinnati leading, then they ran a V621 empty grain train up a few hours later. If you check Page 1 of the post, I wrote a list of all the trains that I've seen on the Scottslawn over the years. I think we're down to 4 sets of coal trains now, N312/E312, N319/E31...

I'll definitely be posting more now that its warm out, windows open I can hear trains from home. Meant to post on Wednesday, CSX 530 led unit train 57 empty autoracks north through CP Mounds 6pm, I assume they were heading for Honda, but no idea what the train symbol was, or if these were autoracks ...

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

I saw Q311 come north around 2pm with CSX 909 leading, then an extra came north 3pm right after, I didn't see it, but did hear a T601 loaded coal to IHB in Chicago, so that was probably it. Then around 7pm I heard another NB, it was E312/319 empty Duke coal train.

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

CSX 9969 led the W003 Geometry train north through Mounds 4:30pm, they are running up to Ridgeway, not sure if they were tying down there or coming back south, so be on the lookout!

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

I never did get the Q311 yesterday with the UP power, just didn't wanna sit in the rain waiting on it, mad I missed it though. Today's Q311 went north around 3:45pm, was a massive land barge, maybe 150 cars including a cut of maybe 30 DODX flat cars again near the rear, only had 2 GE's as power, I w...

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

That N319 also had a 2x1 power arrangement, midtrain DPU, that was definitely my first time seeing a DPU on CSX mid coal train A heads up, I might've missed it or it still hasn't come north yet, but Q311 has UP power trailing and the last unit is UP 1845, an SD40N, very rare in the east, it led a Q3...

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

Incredibly busy day on the Scottslawn south end, an N312 came down I think after Noon, then I heard a horn at 1:45pm coming north assuming it was Q311, but instead it was an empty grain train had CSX 341 & 417 as power, may have been a V151 I heard mentioned on the scanner. Then around 4pm a very la...

Re: CSX scottslawn secondary

The Q131/132 are auto parts trains from Mexico-Detroit, should be all double stacks and maybe boxcars also. They do take the Toledo Branch north of Ridgeway, and will often have UP run through power on them. The Scottslawn south end has been as busy as I can remember the last 24 hours. H708 came sou...
