It was a Bunge grain train for the siding at Colsan, matching set of Crap 9s for power.

Alliance to Bucyrus is 161.07, Colsan to Ft Wayne is 161.175.

NS 8053 East just got track from mp 253 to Colsan... Is this an NS eastbound through train? CG It was a Bunge grain train, 2 NS LHF( same set that went to Ftw last night) per Facebook report. NS seems to have stole the Bunge traffic from CSX. NS will pick them up and set them out at Colsan siding. ...

Every CSX grainer, local, WLE train, CFE train, NS train, all gets dispatched by NS Pittsburgh West.[/quote] Except inside Cole st yard limits and Ft Wayne yard yard limits. Now trains, including the NS 19A, have to dial up G&W St Albains for permission into th...

8580 had its nose logo painted out sometime between 10/19/14 and last weekend

Almost all of them are left. When the line was made dark they were simply turned and we're supposed to still be serviceable if need be, but that was 30 years ago and time has really taken it's toll on a lot of them. Others like that one in Monroeville look very fresh. Nice of that cop to illegally ...

I did pretty good with that NS 8114 consist: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3875/14677495458_a07d61bcf9_b.jpg NS 8114 on point of EPIC consist by alittlevanwerty , on Flickr My best all EMD consist: Q501 with CSX 8076 SD40-2/ CSX 1523 GP15 / CITX 2811 SD40M-2 / CSX 1535 GP15 / CSX 8808 SD40-2 / CSX ...

Big crew on this 19A again. Has riders in the trailing locomotive

O4-sXC4hn40 http://youtu.be/O4-sXC4hn40 This was the only LIVW I filmed in Van Wert in 2014! (new upload) Slacking this year but I did get a ton of CF&E action elsewhere. Yesterday was a busy one for grain trains! A Bunge grainer with (about 65 cars) in the morning and another also heading east aro...

I saw you! And about 10 other Railfans lol!! Nice seeing SP but these things look terrible. I'm surprised the one joined SP in 1994, that paint looks 40 years old. I got them at Ottawa, CG and Lima.

CREX 1324 led the grain train back east this morning in Perfect light! Through Van Wert about 8 am.

Also The loaded Wheeling rail train is at Lima, the W&LE locomotive is out of "Q" so a CF&E engine will likely pull it to Crestline unless the wheeling sends fresh power to Lima

Via Facebook post with photo evidence: CSX 7826 leading CREX 1321 on a Bunge grain train. Hopefully that CITIRAIL leads back east in good light!

19A with NS 7510 leading 3 other NS widecabs and 2 UP locomotives. Crossed Lima diamond at 2:05 pm

I would say Deshler is 80-90 in 24 hours based on some 48 train counts from west of Deshler. A blank guess for Winton Place to Queensgate is 60-70 a day and that may even be a little high. It's busy, but not busy as other spots. Hamilton would see about 10 less than that. There is no way there are ...

A guy on fb saw it pass P&G but he was busy switching so he couldn't write down the locomotive numbers but said it was a pair of BNSF.

It looks like the Kirby elevator spur lead is long enough but the tail is very short. Do they still ship by rail?

Kirby usually has a few cars on their spur.

Recent meeting of the Henry County CIC group the issue was mentioned that CIC would like the rail service to be restored to Liberty Center. Also was mentioned they would like to see the out of service segment between Defiance and Cecil restored to service on the ND&W railroad as this would benefit ...
