Toledo Sub CPLs

[srjason]

I was recently out at the south end of the Troy siding and new signal bases were just put in. The north end also had new bases. If anyone wants to see those CPLs, you will need to see them soon. On Monday I will be going up to Piqua and Tipp City to check on those.

Wapak has bases as well. Most of the line up through Deshler has had preliminary work done.

No work visible at either end of Tontogany & Haskins or end of double track Perry either.

[DT&I]

Both ends of Haskins and Tontogany are fine except the southbound mast in Togany, was taken out by a derailment a few years back and is now a Safetran.

Not to get everyone excited but with CSX mothballing lines. Deshler to Stanley could be a candidate for through traffic.

Some of us old heads remember when the line north of Deshler was embargoed back in the 1990's. There was, at that time, some serious consideration of abandoning the line north of Haskins.

With three lines into Toledo, all arriving at basically The same location, one has to wonder the logic of having all three as through routes.

I'll never forget that. I remember the "rusty rails" leading north out of Deshler very well.

During that time, about every six months or so I would be told by someone (not the same person each time) "the signals are turned away from the tracks" between Deshler and Perrysburg. I would go poking around that area, only to find it was not the case.

I must have gone up there at least a dozen times to find out. It always looked the same. How quickly rumors fly...
