Re: Elkhart, Ind.

You ever seen the 33 overpass plans? Going to be interesting for pedestrian traffic all along there in the future.

Re: Porter Junction and Rileys railhouse

As far as the Michigan line amtraks go you will want to try to get out east of porter a ways along us 20 to see atleast 1 flying thru at 100+ mph!

Re: Waterloo, IN

Was only one set of signals around cp 395? there are now some at cp 397, and 2 of them are way east of the current wb signals, thinking maybe 395 will become intermediates and a universal setup at cp 397?

Re: Elkhart, Ind.

The NYC museum server went out with Ron Troyer a few years ago, well, not literally, but because of those changes, now its only Goshen and Osceola servers in area. and Ocseola has better luck catching things to the west, cp 426 is tough a lot of times for it oddly, unknown why.

Cp 415 being yanked is going to be the big item to be done as they prep signals for cutover, looks like a fun Monday for all involved!

Re: Elkhart, Ind.

I wonder how far east the third track will eventually extend, must be past 410.....Distant plans I guess, but must be some sort of plan to be setting it up right now for it.

Re: Elkhart, Ind.

I figured there should be 3 test addresses to pop up, maybe 4 if the stuff I once caught from the crossing at Lusher also comes back on

Re: Roadrailers

I would guess this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1HhIu0po3w hints at a reason there are no regular roadrailer trains west of Sandusky on Chicago Line maybe?

Re: Elkhart, Ind.

I think the extra block is useful for fleeting sbs, as long ago before atcs was out there, I noticed a sb did not get all the way to cp 3 before the next one got a signal at cp 412, and it was not a restricting.

Re: Elkhart, Ind.

So limited is flashing lights, but does it require three heads or can they be done with two? Other option here is, you need a slow signal onto the Marion, but once you're off, you can take a medium signal but you're still stuck with 10 mph until your train takes the curve. I'm not quite sure how th...

your diagram is correct for switch location, but no idea on future switch to siding,can go between or west of the other 2 crossovers, and just now checking atcs, theres nothing lined in the whole area!
