Carleton observations
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2019 10:14 am
Yesterday, I went to Carleton. As I crossed the railroad in town, I noted something.
Seems like CN is getting ready to replace the signals at the diamond finally; I saw new signals next to the old ones; the new ones were turned to the side. They must have just put those up, as I hadn't seen them when I was last there about twelve days prior. Those old signals look terrible; I'm surprised that they lasted this long!
Also, noted a few intermodal containers next to the CSX main, between Ash St. and the start of the Lincoln Secondary.
Finally, at about 1740 or so, I noted a mixed freight (LOTS of tank cars) train headed up the CN toward Flat Rock through Carleton, headed by two NS locomotives. Seems like they've been running trains during the afternoon up there lately, the past couple of times I've been to Carleton.
Just a couple of observations that I noted recently.
