L331 is a Kenton / Columbus / Kenton turn that works overnight.

Favorite line - “As a member of the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad Fans Facebook Group…”. Oy Vey - these people are exhausting.

You are not sorry. How do you sleep at night knowing east of Jay Bird Rd is an unlimited and untapped bounty of foamer dreams and expectations....?

I'm an evil bastard and dream crusher so I sleep quite well at night

New second plant announced is a wet food canning plant. It WILL NOT be rail served. Any (if any) increased rail traffic resulting from this canning plant will be in form of additional cars handled through the yet to be constructed rail infrastructure at the original plant currently under constructio...

Interesting thanks for the info. So the wetlands there is that a drainage issue or is there a pond back there? Just marsh/swampy area. Officially designated as a wetlands with all the environmental considerations that go along with it. In the old days, you would simply dump a bunch of rip rap and f...

Not yet. They may have done some earthwork on Purina property, but that would be it. As been stated in previous public releases, CCET needs to build an 1,100 foot lead through Norfolk Southern owned wetlands to connect to the 11,000 foot system of plant trackage. This require lots of permits and con...

From the load out area the quarry to the end of the line at Jaybird Road, there are a GRAND TOTAL of FIVE property owners adjoining the track - 3 individuals/families and two companies. Of the three private owners, they are all right down at the Jaybird end, one owns maybe 40 acres squeezed between ...

There is a Scioto County commissioner blowing his own horn about turning the line into a trail - simply something he can use as a noise maker for the election. It's not happening. The CURRENT Regime at Norfolk Southern is content to sit on out of service lines indefinitely - be they the east end of ...

Curious to hear everyone's take on it now that the PEB has released there recommendations. On 8/1 on this thread, I said the PEB goes nowhere. I was wrong - it went to worse than nowhere. Addressed some pay issues, but punted most quality of life issues and on page 32 of the office transcript dropp...

Plenty of room at Sharonville. Why would you want to go all the way to Moraine and Berry would be less useful than any other solution (Unless you plan on relaying the line up Wauson Way and thru Xavier). The realistic, not fantasy, options being discussed all strictly involve Clare or Sharonville, w...

I would agree that there are a few on here that have bad info on the Peavine. But I think you and I might disagree who those people are :lol: Purina is NOT opening this fall or next spring. I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is wrong. Since I've got a few minutes, let me spe...

Not stirring pot and certainly not a Peavine hater. Just love some of the authoritative posts from people talking out of their ass not having any first hand knowledge of what’s going on. Some of the things stated as fact have been laughable. As for TBT, there is no article. TBT is just growing - add...

I hate talking politics, but the only way this is settled fairly once and for all is for there to be a strike that the general public feels. The PEB likely goes nowhere - the gulf between carrier and labor is huge. So on/around 9/15 when cooling off period ends, labor can strike (or carriers can loc...

Melvin is wholly owned subsidiary of the John R Jurgensen Company and is on the I&O - not CCET. Their stone is for their internal use at their asphalt plants and highway construction projects. Hanson is on CCET. The are part of Lehigh Hanson, who is a wholly owned subsidiary of Heidelberg Cement Gro...

Hanson. Unloads on mainline.

First car several weeks ago.

Anything they have heard is nothing more than round house gossip, speculation, or simply made up. Purina plant is well behind schedule account of equipment shortages (goos old computer chip storage that has everything else f’ed up). It may not come on line until 2023 now. As of right now, CCET does...

Don't forget rebuilding the line to Hillsboro! ChooChoo comedy gold. Its gold Jerry, Gold!

Stopped at McDonalds as two NS mow crew were down there picking up lunch. They said most likely from what they have heard when the Purnia Plant opens up late spring NS may be keeping a power in Clare for switching purposes as a good 20 cars or more will be sent back and forth to clare from the CCET...

CCET added 3 locomotives, not 2. Whole roster can be found at homesteadrailgroup.com. Purina might be running by late spring.....of 2023. Plant is behind schedule, a lot of their equipment delayed like everything else in this world. MIGHT see some limited inbound shipments by fall/end of year. No tr...
