CF&E to build new engine/car shop in Ft. Wayne..
The CF&E is going to build a new engine and car repair shop in Ft. Wayne. It will be located across from the CFE office that is on Pontiac St. It will be located on Wayne Trace . CFE will also build a new office there. I found this info on the chooseindiana.com website. Also, it was on WANE TV Channel 15. I believe it was also in The Journal Gazette a Fort Wayne newspaper. It will employ 6, 2 new in the shops and a few new employees in the office. On the website they quote a spokesman for Railamerica. I believe he said they would like to have it done by September/ October. They said no tax abatement was asked for. I will also try and give some CFE happenings when I can. I am just a railfan. Also the Fort Wayne/ Lima local has been running regularly doing the day. PW

This will be on the south side of the yard where the current RIP track is. Will be real nice for the crews as before at the current yard office, the NS tracks into the Triple Crown yard are right in front of the door and they are often blocked from walking directly into the yard. You either have to drive or walk underneath the tracks there at the round-about on Pontiac. Pain in the butt.

Hey probably is another Ft. Wayne somewhere. LOL. I know there is another Van Wert in Iowa. I wouldn't have known that until we visited her sister and brother-in-law in Des Moines. I'm glad i didn't bet her sister because I really didn't believe her at first when she told me. PW

bnsf8000, i think magnumforce and bdconrail were commenting on you having put this thread in the Ohio Talk area. Moderator cnw8835 moved this over to the Indiana Talk area instead, so now Ft Wayne does indeed mean Ft Wayne Indianabdconrail29 wrote:bnsf8000 wrote:Fort Wayne is in Indiana. A major NS hub. PW

It was a smiley wink, how is that being rough? It was a gentle nudge.
Re: CF&E to build new engine/car shop in Ft. Wayne..
Hey guys got the point. At least I made you laugh/cringe. LOL. I'm too close to the stateline OH/IN that we always talk about CFE as one around here. I'll have remember to post accordingly. I'm bettin' I'll get a post moved in the future. I'll try. Hang in there with me. Thanks. PW

Well I grew up in Michigan 5 miles from Ohio and 10 from Indiana, I know how you feel.
Even here in Defiance we get a bit of that as well.
