Rails were never cut. Track inspections were done hi railing twice a week.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the trackage in Canada.

8/27/18 was the date of demolition.

They have bulldozed most of the yardtracks
at Defiance. Will be building new tracks in same place.

Your not going to see the railroads spend the money for
class five FRA track standards.

Now you have q200 and q203 using the northwest transfer daily.

Eastbound across diamond at 2:10 PM

Job Briefing at 07:00 AM.

I’m thinking the new transfer track was to be built in the northwest quadrant to allow direct access to each yard.

Construction is planned in the very near future.
