One thing I noticed, is that the DSR/TSCR diamond is an OWLS diamond. That is fine, but we are making upgrades to the former DT&I to get it up to 45mph in order to compete with CSX for Detroit-Cincy traffic. The projects should be done by mid-summer, so I was wondering if we could replace the OWLS diamond with a regular diamond. We could even keep it at 40mph.
No rush or anything, just putting the word out...
Actually the DT&I was double tracked from Lima to Detroit before we sold it so there is a regular diamond in Liberty Center, in Napoleon there is an OWLS diamond.
Also thanks for the corrections Conrailman, always want to be more correct.

Ah, OK, that makes more sense. Thanks! We can keep the one in Napoleon, then.

Also TSCR 4430 has a date with the shops in Chicago when it returns from the MONON.
#668 with the TSCR 4430 second out should be rounding the connection at Dyer any minute now. Not a bad run, about 5 & 1/2 hours between Louisville and Dyer.
