Ehh...no real dead times, and no real bus times are set, mostly because of the high probability of meets elsewhere. Those CP trains are called the same time out of DET, but there are nearly two dozen possible stopping points, so one late train can throw any sort of schedule off.atrainguy60 wrote:What are the busiest moments on your line between Michigan City and Porter? I will have my trains try to run during the time that there are not alot of trains on your line so there isn't congestion.
Triple track just to the Michigan City siding, just as a long lead in case your line gets backed up and we have freights to move. We could also hide one of your trains there with there are no WB slots for it....plenty of reasons for the long lead.atrainguy60 wrote:Well, three tracks will probably be enough for over 70 trains a day. Traffic on the GR&P will kind of be spread out throughout the day, with about two, maybe three trains, an hour.
I'll take them.FOR SALE:
3 ex D&M M420W's. They are numbers 681, 781, and 881. They are currently in operating condition. Comes with 3 boxcars worth of parts. If no one buys them they will be donated as display pieces or Scrapped and Padnos in GR.
Okay, they are still in D&M Paint, no patch, just relettered a few weeks ago. There is no MQT reporting mark shown, so they won't be patched. The units will be set in Saginaw by tomorrow at 1000 EDT for you to pick up.atrainguy60 wrote:I'll take them.FOR SALE:

Why? you don't own and ex D&M track...atrainguy60 wrote:The GR&P will be leaving them in their original paint. The only change will be a tiny GR&P just under the cab windows.
You do realize MQT owns the rights to all the paint schemes of its direct fallen flags (of course not CSX).atrainguy60 wrote:Because the GR&P likes to keep some engines in their original paint. The owner is quite fond of older paint schemes still being used on some locomotives. That's why the GR&P has ordered Heritage engines from the DT&C.
You can keep it in D&M, but you just can't patch it up from time to time, so it'll get icky, which BTW, it already is. It hasnt been repainted since December of 1991.atrainguy60 wrote:Ohhh, I didn't know that. Alright, GR&P black it is.
