Re: PRR Carrothers Secondary

Ahh ok, Thanks Guys. I saw auto cars there last spring but there haven't been anything there since. I thought it was odd that it CSX owned but the only way to get to it is on NS tracks even though the south side of the old yard is right next to CSX. I hope that One day it would get used again, railr...

Re: NS Clay Center Trains

I've often wondered if this track at Clay Center was a remnant of the former Toledo and Eastern. Does anyone know if this is the case? Well, yes and no. The T&E came in from the north end and used the north end of the TPC&L later the Ohio Public Service, interurban route. The track is actually just...

Re: NS Clay Center Trains

The train I saw at Clay Center did not have those lids over the cars. Those aren't lids, that part of the building behind the train. I live in Clay Center, I have seen trains go into the quarry and leave the next day and other times they sit there for like a week, spring-fall when it busy. I also s...

Re: NS Heritage Unit Location Updates

According to the Heritage Unit locator yahoo group the Conrail unit left Rochester, PA at 1:20pm on a 572 coal train bound for Sandusky, OH. Would that be an Alliance-Bucyrus-Sandusky routing? Edit: Guess not, someone reported it west of Hudson on the Cleveland line at 4:14pm What this Heritage uni...
