Re: NRE in Dixmoor and Silvis
Looking at the satellite images of both Dixmoor and Silvis, it would appear that the locations have @ 3 dozen, and @ a couple hundred locomotives, respectively. They appear to be in various stages of service or scrap. Wondering what happens to all those loco bodies and the scores of thousands of par...

Re: GLC Acquiring SD35's?
I think the fate of the GP 35's rests largely upon the success of integrating the SD 35's into the system, the individual mechanical condition of the GP's, and projections for future traffic levels. We know that GLC is power hungry, and nothing sits around idle.

Re: Ann arbor Railroad
Does AA still interchange Chrysler traffic with NS at Milan? Prior to the pandemic that was a seven day a week operation. It may have changed since. I've been that way several times the last three months, and I've seen NS power at the north end of Ottawa Yard on several occasions. I also see AA wor...

Re: New Amazon DC at CN Moterm (State Fairground Site)
Now, will CN start getting container traffic into Moterm from Quebec and Nova Scotia? These Panamax ships are sailing to east coast ports more and more now.

Re: Wabash Indiana Video & One With a 150plus cars & a DPU :)
Since the first time I saw that bridge about a decade ago, I've dreamed about getting an over-under shot with a southbound on the Marion Sub, and a westbound on the Wabash. Got to imagine my odds are nearly the same as hitting the Powerball.

Re: CSX Doing Track Work in Central Indiana?
It's been that way for a few years now. I've hung out twice in the last two years at Muncie, from early/mid morning, until late in the afternoon, and saw almost entirely NS action. Seems like early afternoon can be hot for NS there.

Thank You, ConrailDetroit.
IORY Lima
Going to be in Ohio this week around the IORY south of Hamler, and down past Lima. I'm looking for any info on usual times or days the IORY runs north and south out of Lima. Also would like any info on the CFE through Lima. Thanks.

Everything has slowed down a bit, but it's beginning to rebound. You're not going to get skunked at either location, but there could be some serious lulls in the action from time to time.

Re: Detroit River Tunnel Trains
Once you can travel to Canada again, standing on the College Avenue bridge near the Windsor portal is a great way to get a visit from either of CP Rail Police, Canadian Customs, or the Windsor Police. It's been forever since I've been to either end of that tunnel.

Re: CN Idles Battle Creek Yard 04/03/2020
Challenging times for sure for all the railroads. What to keep going and what to idle? The silver linings in the clouds; they can get large infrastructure projects done with less disruption to existing traffic, and they do not have to worry about everything going back to normal at once. It will take...

Re: Engineer Attempts To Drive Locomotive Into USNS Hospital
One would think that an engineer of all people would have enough brain power to realize his plan had no chance to succeed. He must have watched 'Unstoppable' and 'Runaway Train' back to back, in a drunken stupor.

Re: COVID-19 impact on rail service
Finished autos will continue to move provided there are people available to move them. GM is the only automaker whose inventory is drawn down currently, due to the strike last fall. The other variable will be if people aren't out buying cars, then they won't be shipped for that reason. Ford, FCA, To...

Re: VIA and CN shut down due to Indigenous Protests
Could the reason for cancellation of all trains nationwide be due to the risk of the protests "spreading" and blocking other tracks? (Why shut down the entire VIA network, and not just where the protests are happening) My guess is precisely that? There are places in British Columbia, Manitoba, and ...
