i went down to toledo one day and was driving by the docks by the river when i came across this local taking cars from what i think is a propane dealer and going out to set them somewere. i have no idea what this train would be called so if a local could help me out that would be great.

You need to upload your photos somewhere first, like here or photobucket. Then, you can link to them from this thread you made.
The links you have look like they are photos from your harddrive.

alright thanks

That is the Toledo Belt, it runs from NS Homested yard, to the Chicago Main. I cant be sure what job it was, but looks like your at Consaul st. It could have been just about anything. 334, BO02 comming back from Maumee, really cant say for sure.

Matt's got it - the only thing I can really add is that it's probably a yard job / local out of NS Homestead. As noted, they use a BO## symbol - I saw a BO03 recently switching industries in the area but typical daytime symbols are BO01, 02, 03, 04 and probably others? I think 02 & 04 are Homestead - Maumee runs typically.

alright thanks guys. i don't usually come down there so i don't know much.

Here's the Toledo breakdown for the NS yard jobs by where they are assigned, not where they go.
BT= Mega, BU= Maumee and BO= Homestead. Keep in mind that the limits are for the entire Toledo area. So you could actually have like a BT crew taking a train to/from Maumee. I've seen where the Maumee jobs are busy so a BT crew is taxied over to get a grain train from Maumee down to Sumner st yard.

Or could of been the going to Sun Oil.

Yeah - I figure I don't "know" what it is unless I actually hear them on the radio since even if it's typically a BO job for example I wouldn't know if it's BO01, BO02, etc..

So would the job that runs up the Clinton to Ottawa Lake typically be a "BT" job of some sort?

Thanks,
