New CSX Train Q266

Unread post by blueheron13 »

All this past week, a new CSX train, Q266, has been running west from Rougemere to Plymouth, then south to Ohio, working at New Boston on the way. Anyone know where this train goes, and if it is just autoracks or has other freight? Also this Q266 seems to be leaving in the morning in place of the Q264. Has Q264 been abolished?

Wiki says Q266 is a Rougemere to Walbridge train.

Q264 runs out of Walbridge now. Q253 runs to Walbridge too.

Those L234's that also ran should be done too... Q233/Q234 were annulled from Buffalo to Selkirk.

Thanks. I swear I checked that wiki not long before I posted. Ah, well.

Anyway, as far as I know, the only regular trains to/from Rougemere that work New Boston are WB/SB Q266 (leaves in the morning), WB/SB Q276 (leaves in the afternoon), NB/EB Q253 (usually arrives in the evening), and NB/EB Q299 (usually arrives in the middle of the night). I haven't heard a Q298 recently, which would sometimes show up instead of Q299.
