Scanner in Deshler - 810 AXLE CSX MANIFEST?!?!?!?!?!

Unread post by Tier4GEVO »

Fanning in Deshler late tonight, I think it was Q387, but really crackled, don't quote me. But I heard "792 axles, added 3 extra engines for a total of 810 axles". I am shocked they are running a train this big.

Gotta get down to a 65 operating ratio!

They made really good progress last quarter, they got to 66.8%.

Been several trains on the Toledo Sub maxing out at 200+ cars. With trains that big, suddenly you run out of passing siding locations. Makes for some fun times...
