Came across this article this morning. Amtrak 501, a relatively new Amtrak service train, managed to derail itself onto I-5 out on the West Coast, blocking all southbound lanes. The article below reports injuries and damage, hopefully no one got killed. The pictures are just stunning... http://www.t...

CSX announced just after 10ET tonight that Hunter Harrison is on medical leave. https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/12/15/1262360/0/en/CSX-Announces-Medical-Leave-of-CEO-E-Hunter-Harrison.html COO James Foote is acting CEO Interesting news. Most know of his ill health, so I wonder what happ...

NS H70 no defects at SR 60.7 22:50 on the Southern Tier Line, heading West to go work Campbell Hall.
NS SD70M 2583
UP C45AH 7718

UP 1989 is leading the 214. Last I saw, it was working Greensboro, North Carolina.

While on its way today, Q404-07 derailed at CP TOWNLEY on the Conrail Shared Assets. Reports of 21 cars derailed. Derailment looks to be pretty severe as it derailed in three different sections, and has caused NJT to suspend service in the area. Some other freight trains are already detouring around...

JB Hunt released some data today regarding CSX transit times. Most of it doesn't sound good for CSX.

BNSF 4640 - H2
UP 4503

Saw on Facebook that 911 is leading 20W.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/11/14/investing/ge-stock-dividend-turnaround/index.html Looks like GE is dumping their locomotive business. I think this is going to be an interesting situation. I would assume someone is going to buy this division (Siemens maybe?), and I would assume National Railway Equi...

I ran into this article yesterday. It is quite interesting, and could spell NS using the old Erie Main (Southern Tier Line) to run freight on again outside of NJT peak times. I for one, would like to see this happen, since they only run locals on it for now. I also find it odd that there's MOW equip...

I'm not sure, but I think 7294 is an SD70ACU.

Yes, NS 7294 is an SD70ACu rebuild.

Norfolk Southern and the Canadian National have announced that they will be teaming up to provide a reliable interline service in and out of the Chicago Area. http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/CN-and-Norfolk-Southern-joint-interline-service-reducing-transcontinental-transit-times-by-up...

Ditto what you guys said. It is quite an interesting unit. For boring information...Union Pacific painted this SD70AH in the special scheme to honor our troops and to commemorate the “Spirit of Union Pacific” B-17 bomber. It is former UP SD70AH #9026, built in April 2016. Interesting information Th...
