Re: Fort Wayne Line Location Updates
D727-20 in Columbia City now getting ready to head back west. CSXT 4428 and CSXT 6028 with 31 cars. The 4428 is in Conrail paint.
Q357-20 finishing up with their work in Warsaw. Came in with 31 cars, dropped 6 off and picked up 10, so leaving with 35 cars.
Q387-20 dead in Lima with no crew to take them west. BNSF 1132, BNSF 4553 and CSXT 7525 leading 107 cars.
Q388-20 by Hoytville on the B&O at 16:05 with CSXT 8555 and CSXT 8550 leading 70 cars.
As a note, Q387 and Q388 are not taking the B&O/C&O/PRR route as originally planned. Instead, they are running on the Willard/Lima crew and then a Lima/Chicago crew.

Re: Fort Wayne Line Location Updates
G847-21 is now CSXT 7710 running west to Chicago as lite power. Train tied down in Hamlet. Loads are scheduled to go east on Thursday.
Q356-21 tied down in Fort Wayne.

There is a W038-22 planned in Chicago. Shows as running only as far east as Warsaw. Crew called at 02:00. Power is CSXT 7612 and 20 cars.
Also seeing an S356-21 planned for tomorrow, but no call time or power. Probably running tomorrow to avoid running on Thursday or Friday, but not sure.

Re: Fort Wayne Line Location Updates
Q387-21 on the approach to Tolleston now.
S356-22 called at 05:00 in Chicago with BNSF 655 and BNSF 969 for power and a 96 car train. I guess the main reason is it's forwarding some of the traffic that would have been on Q388 today so it's not a giant tomorrow. Work order says 17 car drop off in Warsaw, 13 car pickup. Leader is a Warbonnet and trailer is in H1 paint.

Re: Fort Wayne Line Location Updates
W038-22 tied their train down on track 3 at the east end of Warsaw early this morning. The 7612 cut off and ran lite power back to the yard on the west side of Warsaw. Those 20 cars are gons for scrap ties as CSX will be doing some replacing in Warsaw after Christmas.
S356-22 finished up their work on the west side of Warsaw at 13:00, and the power is back on the train with 92 cars to depart. Looks like they will be holding to meet Q357-22 at East Warsaw.
Q357-22 was by Larwill @ 13:21 with CSXT 8048 and CSXT 8052 leading a 116 car train. They will drop 10 cars and pick up 11 in Warsaw. May also be picking up the 7612 from W038.
Q387-22 southbound on the Toledo Sub now, they were by South Deshler @ 13:22. CSXT 7840 and CSXT 7523 with a 61 car train.
Q388-22 is tied down in Lima waiting for a new crew. FWIW, the call time for Q388 has been moved up to 02:00, and the sun wasn't up until they hit Warsaw. Power is CSXT 9004 and CSXT 5278 with a 99 car train.
There is a K803 planned in Chicago for 21:00 tonight.

Computer is showing me a Q200-23 planned to go via the Fort Wayne line tomorrow, called @ 05:05 in Chicago with CSXT 7303 and BNSF 4744 for power. Length shows as 103 cars. Leader is in Conrail paint. I do believe I'm getting up early and heading as far west as I can before meeting them.
Oh, and that's not all.
Q356-23 planned with CSXT 8052, CSXT 8048, CSXT 7489, CSXT 6071 and CSXT 6084 and a 107 car train. The 7489 is in Conrail dress, and an all standard cab consist to boot. That should be fun to chase.
Q387-23 annulled. Won't see another Q387 until the 26th.
Q388-23 planned in Chicago with CSXT 5489 solo with 80 cars.
X080-23 called for 05:20, they'll pick up the grain train in Hamlet and go east as G842-23. Power being CSXT 93 and CSXT 5430.
Looks like I'll have a fun day out there tomorrow.

Re: Fort Wayne Line Location Updates
Q200-23 by Valpo @ 09:10.
Q356-23 right behind him, by Wheeler @ 09:12.
Q388-23 by Larwill @ 09:13.
G842-23 sitting in Hamlet. The crew call got bumped up and the power went lite before dawn. Looks like they'll go after Q200 and Q356.
Shooting Q356 at Valpo then getting ahead of Q200 by Hanna. Shouldn't be hard, they have a 10 mph slow order between Wanatah and Volk Road, roughly three miles.
