CF&E/Fort Wayne Line Operations

Unread post by bdconrail29 »

I have recently been intensely observing the "west of Colsan" operations on the CF&E. Symbol 10E is very interesting to me. It arrives at Fort Wayne via the Wabash of course from the UP and I'm guessing most of the cars come from North Little Rock or even farther west judging by the auto parts box cars. 10R meets 10E at Fort Wayne and 10R either seems to give it a huge block of short red box cars (BNSF mostly) or the entire train. 10E then goes to Conway via the Fort Wayne Line. Rarely does it make it to Mansfield to recrew and sometimes has to recrew at places like Dunkirk.

Very interesting. If anyone wants to contribute or knows way more than that, I would appreciate more comments. Thanks!
Brett
