K185 frequency.

Unread post by OSRR »

How often does the K185 run on average per day/week?

Also, I'm assuming the docks shut down for the winter.. Is it scheduled or do they wait untill the lakes freeze? And where does the ore come from during this time (to the mill)?

K185 is now a coke train symbol that goes between Detroit and someplace in PA. only runs once in a blue moon

the ore train runs from and to the docks that used to be k185 is now k173 and k172, Runs a few times a week depending on the demand of the ore
CSX_CO: 10 minutes, keep hoping the yard blows up and I won't have to go in tonight.

Ah, ok. Didn't realize they changed the symbol. Everything I searched was turning up the K185 symbol.
