Re: NS possible inspection of CFE?.......

I will do my best to pass along any information I get about its whereabouts as it makes its way east.

Re: NS possible inspection of CFE?.......

I've heard they're going to Chicago first, then depart Chi-town and head east from there. They'll get on the Pennsy main at Hobart and head toward Crestline from there. I definitely advise catching this train!

Re: LSRC Update?

Speaking of the LSRC, does anyone on here know if they scrapped or sold the 466 yet? Its a very historic diesel, since its the first RS2 built by Alco and delivered to the DM in 1946. I will be very saddened if you guys say its scrapped :(

Re: Missed the MAW

That NS train you caught at Woodburn is the L91 local. Its main job is to go out and switch BF Goodrich, and then any interchange at Woodburn before heading back to New Haven.

Re: Walthers PRR Broadway Limited

I am getting all the cars for the set myself. I have been impressed with the looks of each of the 6 cars I've received so far and they got several compliments at a prototype modeler's meet I recently attended. Unfortunately I can't comment on how they run as I do not have a layout to run them on :(

Re: About CFE to Decatur.....

While I can't comment on the car counts, I can say that they normally run five days a week, Mon-Fri, with weekend service run on an as needed basis.

It was Q122 as I was there in Marion that morning taking part in the Central Ohio Prototype modelers meet. That was the only CR blue painted unit I seen in the 4 days I was there i...
