Sounds like some detours through Willard
20K20 is called for 13:45 at Willard, OH. Crew cab to Berea to get the train. Operate as X70020
Problems=70 to 90 BIG trains a day through this territory.
Where are all the rerouts going to be?
Will there be enough crews to handle the extra trains on alternate routes?
What about all the classification that goes on in Conway?

Will AMTK detour on the B&O?

If the NS line is still closed for next weekend, maybe we'll be seeing some reroutes around Fostoria? I can only hope...
All this development work on that hillside to put a Walmart in...looks like they had another smaller landslide back in April as well trying to make room for this place.
