Each stack is ten across by four tall so I'd estimate around 2,000 ties are there currently. Tie unloading was still ongoing when I was back in Adrian last week. They'v...

Re: Y121 Causes a Traffic Jam

Nice shots!

Last time I was there, they pulled back across River after dropping their caboose to allow traffic to clear, but even in that time the road had completely filled up which I was surprised to see.

Adbf 1752 departed Blissfield on a dinner train today rn frfr

Jail made another Saturday run to Jackson today too.
How often is the dinner train running now?

Has JAIL been running pretty much every Saturday? When abouts are they departing?

IIRC they used to be Alco powered, but not sure what they are using now or how often they run. This will be just north of Corydon and they run north to the NS interchange near New Salisbury.
