Wabash Central runnings

Unread post by GrantCountyRailfan »

I have noticed a few things while visiting the WBCR. Here is a list of the following.

*Landess and Hanfield*
many of the old crossbucks are missing. Track is OOS.

*Van Buren*
Cars that were in storage along 450 N are gone. They will probably bring more cars though. Don’t think Weaver receives cars anymore.

*Warren*
The crossing was repaved at SR5/SR218. Seen some cars at the grain plant there. More storage cars along Railroad Street.

*Buckeye and Liberty Center*
More car storage.

*Bluffton*
Seen RMEX 7 in the yard alone. Number 6 and 8 were sold. WBCR is no longer aloud to run the NC division due to PTC.

*Craigsville*
RMEX 5 was parked at Lotter Farms. Seen some more storage cars as well.

This trip was made in early July. Fortunately did not get any photos as my sd card was full. I still have some questions about the line though.

1. Why did WBCR sell 6 and 8?

2. Will WBCR be purchasing any new power?

3. Does number 5 even run?

4. What industries are most frequent?

5. When and how many times do they run?
