And hence, GCOR Rule 9.8 does not apply on the Union Pacific anymore... 9.8 - Next Governing Signal A train may comply with the next signal's indication when its aspect can be clearly seen and the signal governs the track where movement is occurring or will be made. This does not apply when a rule o...

Atleast 2 more GP40-3s have been completed by MPI, 6502 at Avon, pics from the Locomotive Roster Shots group on Facebook by Rodney Burger. I thought there were at least 9 GP40-3s done? Are the rest of these not done? From the bullsheet: 6500........YN3 Railcar Logo.............(x-6349, xx-SCL-1639)...

The day off.

Terra Haute count is a bit off. The CE&D *may* see 20-25. And what are the 5-10 other trains? I think you'd be lucky to see 50 in a 24 hr period.

I believe the only scheduled trains on the Illinois Sub are St. Louis-Louisville, KY Q204 and Q265. There are occasional coal trains and other extras as well, but a very quiet line indeed.

Well then, unless there is an extra set of power they can use or put together from an inbound coming in with three units, then common sense would say that inbound power goes on the next train to run, or the train that's been sitting in the yard the longest. Every outbound train may not have an inbou...

Q335 power runs through, power off previous day's Q326 goes on Q327. Simple.

Been a rough week for Railroaders. 3 people suffered amputations and one person providing flag protection on Amtrak was killed. Unforgiving place to work if you're not constantly on guard. Ironically, all three amputations were left feet; two RCO's and one car department employee. All three were UP...

Largest customer on the line is the large Anderson's elevator which is southwest of the Staley Rd / US-150 intersection on the west side of Champaign. Unit grain trains run as needed and CN also has trackage rights to the elevator. Within the last year, a small liquid fertilizer terminal was constru...

Anyone ever take a train across the "dip". I'd be curious what it's like

You pick up speed, and then you slow down.

As a conductor, I've always wanted to try this: G4Ck5BnJBeY Looks like it would have been a perfect opportunity! Unfortunately, I'm only qualified as far north as Global 4. CSX_CO is spot on. While there is risk in EVERYTHING we do, this is not a responsible risk to take. This is NOT like the risk y...

Train derails -> vapor cloud -> pull up closer -> roll window down

Kershaw got hit hard by the Cardinals. 8 ER in 7+ innings. I thought he was better than any of the Tigers pitchers. IMO most of the Tigers pitching staff has under-performed this year. Lots of blame going to Ausmus and Dombrowski but maybe someone needs to look at the pitching coach :? 6.2 IP, 8 H,...

A quick Google search turned this up:

Evidently, that was a "Run or Die" event...Run or Dye??? Run or Die?? Hmmm...

For those that care and haven't already seen my Flickr and YouTube pages; after a two-year gap with nearly no pictures or videos uploaded (read very little railfanning done in that time), I have knocked down the cobwebs on both pages - they are both linked below in my signature. Vides #99-120 are ne...

I guess I didn't know which "background" we were talking about. I didn't see that other crap back there on my phone, blended right in with the sky.

And yes, that IS a CR Dash 8.5 rebuild in the background

No, that's NOT a CR (you actually mean NS) Dash 8.5 rebuild in the background. That's NS 6917, an SD60E.

Not sure about the video, but your list of locations has two errors;

Dahinda, not Nahinda
Stronghurst, not Stronghold
