I'll give them credit for finding a niche that might work and also might not. It's interesting to follow them as they share their adventure of making this into potentially something. We do have to be honest about a few things and honest about some of their rather interesting interpretations of the s...

Imagine the same stuff I told you five years ago actually was correct....... :roll: My buddy Alex who lived here in Cincinnati for years moved to Atlanta just over a year ago after he was promoted by NS. Today we talked about the Peavine. Alex lived by the Peavine tracks for years when he and his wi...

So those modern, efficient locos in storage have been built in the last 20 years have a large problem for shortlines and regionals, anything built after 2000 have those expensive and complicated EPA Tier regulated motors. Now if you have say $1 million dollars sitting around I'll be more than happy ...

Tell me in your magic eight ball why said project won't go forward or use rail... FYI just for the heck of it you can go to the Clermont County auditor office's website and see Purnia has already purchased the property for the plant at Half Acre Rd and Afton Dr. I guess you must know something diffe...

I was a student at OSU way back in early '90s and by then the track ended at Columbus Builders Supply. I don't recall there being anything left by that time other than the apparent right of ways by the shapes of the buildings. I want to say Columbus Builders Supply was occasionally getting a load of...

Cohen is east of Cincinnati at a location called Macon US 32-US 62 crossroads. Originally was a place that got loads of lumber back in the '90s and built modular homes. They have a scrap place west of Macon on 32 around Sardinia. Pilot should be the company they temporarily store cars for- once they...

Valero leases space at BGF to store empty ddg hoppers and tanks for Bloomingburg. Valero also pays BGF to clean the ddg hoppers out after so many loads. BGF still processing soybeans. I don't know how much is currently going out by rail directly there, but the inbound containers are still coming in ...

The line has zero customers other than car storage. Fracking sand transload went away, the line is just far enough out of the fracking area the extra distance killed the business. Other than access to Apex, which they already had, really doesn't make sense G&W bought the company. The 2 GP38-2 were p...

Don’t deflect your guilt on not saving the B&O. Is the tears of the rail “enthusiast” community that bother you the most, or the regret you could be worshipped by said enthusiastically if you had.....?

Informer poll I already know the answer.... Who’s worst fan- Peavine or B&O St Louis to Grafton....

There’s just as much or even more land (and a former industrial site east of Portsmouth) that a business can easily develop vs anything between Peebles and Vera/West Portsmouth. Scrap just give up. They won’t give up or understand why Portsmouth is no go. I mean if anyone might know better than......

Correct on 2109. 2134- NS 5058 There is not a I&O 2104 There's only 2 true CIND locos at the moment 2001-2002. Power is shared with the I&O so it's whatever 4 axle that is over on the CIND. Gensets usually stay over in Norwood these days on the I&O. 2019- NS 5055 Thanks! I assume you mean 2109? Unkn...

I&O owns the bridge and tracks with CSX still owning the land underneath. I wouldn't hold my breath on anything changing. Midland sub since your in the know about the I&O I have a question. The rail bridge at that goes over Madison Road at Kenwood Road in Cincinnati has been hit several times by lar...

The Wash CH stuff is all Midland customers

ORDC meeting back in May mentioned they will begin looking into ending their ownership of the line. ORDC was responsible for reimbursement to ODOT the cost of cleaning up from flooding caused by debris washed up against bridge abutments on the line.

I don't think KNWA saw any traffic from Burr Oak. What mine shut down? Last I knew, High Power (Cornelia), "Deepwater" (Page, WV), Mammoth, and Quincy (at Dickinson) were loading. Wasnt fly ash already being loaded at Nitro? Pinnacle was the mine company so I believe that was Deepwater. I see pics ...
