AA Railroad Interchange in Toledo
Posted: Mon Aug 26, 2019 9:11 pm
I know the AA listed several interchange partners in Toledo, but how many are actually still used.
Does the AA and W&LE have an interchange in Toledo? If so, how does the W&LE? Do they simply cross the bridge and line their way up the AA tracks north of the bridge? They can then take what they need to CN and to the AA?
Does the AA have an interchange with CN in Toledo anymore? I know there used to be a curved track just south of the expressway linking the CN (south out of Lang) to the CSX (ex-TT) tracks going north. This has been removed, but the CN line does go as far south as the connection with the now AA tracks just north of the W&LE bridge.
AA and CSX still interchange with the moves taking place at either Ottawa Yard or Boulevard Yard which have access between the companies at both the north and south ends.
AA and NS still interchange. NS trains used to come across the ex-TT tracks from near Detroit Ave to Hallet where the trains turned south into the yard. I believe this was also how NS accessed their customers on the tracks south of the AA's tracks. I assume the interchange still takes place in the same manner.
On the same note, the AA has taken over switching of all the tracks that NS used to switch south of the AA yards correct. This would be the line running along the river and the line to Libby Glass correct?
Also, does anyone know approximately how many autoracks the AA runs out of the Jeep plant daily? It appears the plant itself only has capacity for about 26 autoracks at a time. I've heard they load 75-80 cars per day at the plant. That would require multiple switches of the cars at the loading docks each day. Also, how many other loading facilities does the AA serrvice? It appears one is next to the AA's Ottawa Yard opposite the Jeep Plant, and there is also one south of Manhattan. Are these three different loading facilities all serviced by the AA?
