Some of us do not bother with the drama on Facebook, is there a link? My point, don't assume we all know what's going on because it's posted someplace else. :) No worries, just etiquette I guess...I have been accused of living in a simpler time. E at CG Sorry just going by pictures posted on the Fa...

Sorry just going by pictures posted on the Facebook group Lima Ohio and the CSX Toledo Sub. Several people on there east of Lima post updates.

IDEALLY, if this is line is in serious consideration for bi-directional traffic, NS/CF&E/CSX would be wise to find a rural location to put in a siding or two. A CTC "island" that would allow for a control point to get a train into a passing track, the other end would be a spring switch also with a ...

Wheeling train 431 on the CF&E in September, finally uploaded!

aht2Fy6mBGY Well here are some NS trains on the CF&E. 19A at Van Wert, 19A at Nevada and 931 Herzog ballast train at Lafayette. http://youtu.be/aht2Fy6mBGY Quote from an NS guy on facebook : "NS must have big plans for CF&E line from Mansfield to Fort Wayne. Had permanent transfer offers for engine...

As of 12:05 pm CF&E LIFW tied down at Richie rd west of Van Wert with IORY 4036 leading 3024, a NS dash 9, a NS dash 8 and a UP SD70ACe! Looks to be about 60 cars.

CSX rack train ( not sure which, likely 231/243 ) at Cairo ohio with consecutively numbered CSX dash 9s 9038/9037 both in very clean YN2

1731 working St Marys Omnisource. Looks to be 2 pellet cars and a ton of scrap gons. They Omni has so many ordered that Corman had to put about a dozen in the Trupoint spur.

Also 2 Corman hi railers and a Sperry truck working between the distribution center and Celina

Grain train with CSX 7609 leading a SD40-2 departing Lima.

3023 locked in the clear at Delphos for them, will be coming back out afterwards.

NS 931 somewhere east of Lima dropping ties.

Atlas working in Lima.

EDIT 931 is a loaded Herzog ballast train about to dump around Layfayette

is this a test running this 19A across the ex PRR i'm guessing. is the congestion that bad still on the ex NYC and even the ex NKP that NS needs to run trains this way? NS has gone as far as qualifying at least 1 crew to run Colsan to Ft Wayne. I figure they're training more though but these are ru...

19A through Van Wert at 7:45 am, NS dash 9 leading 2 other NS GEs and a UP dash 8.

EDIT train tied down at liberty union rd, crew called cfe 11 so possibly a LIFW with borrowed grain train power.

EDIT #2 as of 10:35 am train still tied down at Liberty Union, all BNGX/CYSX covered hoppers.

Another 19A ran around 2am this morning. 3 NS wide cabs and a BNSF Warbonnet.

19A rolling through van wert at 11:08 pm, just about 6 hours from Nevada to VW.

Correct, didnt know it til I heard him call Upper Sandusky.

Filming an awesome NS westbound at Nevada as I type. NS 7581 leading BNSF 8052, BNSF 1592 (SD40-2) and BNSF 1405 cascade green triclops. Mixed freight

Unless they went though when i picked up my kids from school they didn't go though celina yesterday. And my wife hasn't heard any trains yet today. I put her on alert to watch for any trains. They were in Lima this morning and told the yard office they would be delivering 3 lumber cars to Coldwater...

All the cars are gone so Corman must have pulled them yesterday after everyone saw them.

The power for this mornings train was CSX 8196 boxcar logo SD40-2, ex Conrail C40-8W, CF&E 3886/3882. I wasn't able to watch the entire train but there was a few Omnisource gons up front so must have been a LIFW

There was 2 cuts, one almost the length of the yard and another half length. Previously when I've seen them move these trains into storage they'll have an engine on each end both providing power to move the entire block of cars. Since GP16s aren't DPU capable they require an engineer in both locomot...

BNSF8000, I'm not 100% sure of all the slow order. I know the Van Wert slow order is specifically Washington St. There was one west of town but that is clear. Last I knew there was one between Delphos and VW Terminal but I'm not sure of the length. They did 10 by me when I filmed them in MP. I figur...
