Re: NS Kankakee work
I would expect that when CN completes their PTC work on the South Bend Sub, NS will get a view of Hays (and hopefully on the air).
Re: NS Kankakee work
I would imagine so.
You also have Belshaw and Schnieder to go on air. Schnieder is a complicated one.
Somewhere out west on the Kanakee should be a CTC island. Need to do some google earth searching.
Along that lines I imagine that Fort Wayne, West Spriggsboro, CN Crossing gets upgraded too with a display.
Boy that place has more names for it lol.

Re: NS Kankakee work
There are no CTC islands on the Kankakee Branch at this point in time.
Re: NS Kankakee work
That is right. The new siding out there was a signaled spring switch affairtttodisp wrote:There are no CTC islands on the Kankakee Branch at this point in time.

I wonder if that is CP Highland
75501710360202 is the previously activated. CP Austin

Re: NS Kankakee work
Now we have 7550171031020 on.
That must be St. John As the Laporte receiver isn't getting it. But something on the Chicago gator is.

75501710310202 CP St John
75501710330202 CP Highland
75501710360202 CP Austin
Funny though. Someone forgot to set the number of bits on CP St John. 256 bits. LOL.
The days of different sized inter lockers machines for different sized plants are gone. One size fits all. Thanks to computerization and computers that can address gigabytes. Today it's just tell the computer how many bits you want and connect the IO board (adapter) to the various inputs. Now of course the IO board comes in different input sizes. But you can expand it later by adding more IO ports.

Re: NS Kankakee work
March 27th. NS retired the 16E and 16W signals on the Kankakee line.
Re: NS Kankakee work
16E and 16W presumably just south of St. John? I wonder if they are just spacing out the intermediate signals?
Any idea what happened to Highland on ATCS?

No clue, unless they put it on CH6 that the whiting server can't grab.tttodisp wrote:16E and 16W presumably just south of St. John? I wonder if they are just spacing out the intermediate signals?

Re: NS Kankakee work
I saw a couple of controls from 75501700340202 overnight.
Re: NS Kankakee work
First decent skip of the season last night.
My servers were catching some stuff you probably need. I will send you some logs.
But it looks like 034 is CP Belshaw

Here is the skip I saw in Elkhart ...
Re: NS Kankakee work
High land is back on. At 12:07 it blasted a load of Define Capabilities stuff, and then started yacking away.
Re: NS Kankakee work
CNIC replaced the KX machine in Kankakee on 8/29
NS side got new signals. Nothing crazy here.

Might this be CP Schneider?

Re: NS Kankakee work
Actually I think its Hays. The Kankakee/CN/GTW crossing
Re: NS Kankakee work
75501710350202 seen a few times on BCP only...
Looks like CP Schneider perhaps?

Re: NS Kankakee work
Did you see any data or only a baseline message? I see it in my database, but without data.
