Currently doing testing at CP 487, no actual work until after 3 trains each way

Test reported to have failed at 10:20

There is a heavy rain cell in the area. It looks like tonight track 1 will be straight railed at 491. The track 1 signals are in the way of a straight alignment on the siding.

Don't have the equipment for ATCS yet.

Chicago West just had a BH local go from the BH lead to main 1 and back through CP 485 about 20 minutes ago

I got confirmation that NS is doing CP 487 Sunday night and new CP 490 on Monday night, but CP 492 is not being cut over yet. CP 485 seems to be down for the moment. 492 is not ready yet; the crossover switches are still laying on the side of the track. Can the existing EB approach signals to 491 b...

355 is on time, I'm going out to watch 48 and see the setup

Can they keep the existing approach signals at 492? It looks like there will be no change to the aspects

What blizzard? NS put in a lot of work yesterday, mostly dumping stone for Miller siding.The straight rail is ready to put in at CP 491

Dave

NS did siding work between 490 and 491 and also turned the CP 490 signal heads back to their original positions. The heads how have different bags covering them.

Dave

This is supposed to occur next weekend. The signals at 487, 488 and 490 are turned aside and not bagged. Miller siding work at 490 was last week

Dave

The crossover and siding switches at future CP 492 still laying on the ground, but both signals are up.



Also westbound home signal at future CP 494 needs to be erected.
