I should have a picture of that caboose. I will PM you if I can find it!

Very good observation! I never thought of it. Like I said they have been up since late last year early this year and I heard that originally they were slated to be cut over in June.

They are replacing all the signals for both the C&O and NS along with the westbound on the NYC. All are in place just waiting to be cut over.

A reliable 10 mph would also improve service drastically.

Hell reliable 5 mph would also improve service!

I was told they were originally planned to be cut over way back in June.

NS 1072(Illinois Terminal) just went south through Marion on 576.

I have never really spent time there watching trains, where is a good place to sit and catch a good amount of action, and what are some good places to eat?

Does anyone know when the new signals will be cut in? Also why is it taking so long, they have been up for quitevsome time.

Thanks guys! I will def. take your advice for the next time.

I would like some critiques of these photos. I am really working on improving my photography and would like some imput. I know the first one doesn't have the power but cut me some slack :wink: . http://huelsystrainblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/068.jpg http://huelsystrainblog.com/wp-content/upl...

That caboose is over in Marion. I have not seen them use the Erie caboose only the Conrail. But the Erie caboose is there.

About how many cars were there?

Where do I go to download it and etc.

DME 6056 (City of Highmore) and CP 6260 just went east through Deshler on K636-08.

At Deshler "Were coming like a herd of turtles"

Once heard two crews get into an argument and one called the other a MotherF**cker

Where does the K185 run from exactly?

James,

Not my cup of tea. However the shots do look nice! Personally I would not pay to go to it but like I said that kind of stuff does not pique my interest. Keep up the great work!!!
