Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2023
Thank you for the info Andy. I watch the cam on my phone which doesn’t allow me to see the chat at the same time. I thought that I may have miscounted but I am glad I was only off by 1 car.Andy24 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 03, 2023 11:53 amMight be 122 cars based on the Elkhart chat.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2023
I slid into a total K-hole today and forgot to mention that JAIL Z646 came north today in the daylight. They worked all the usual suspects and then CN interchange and CSX. The power is parked at Ensel and the night job will take it south to Mason before starting their work tonight.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Wed Jan 04, 2023 1:10 pmSB JL-1 into NS Jackson Yard at 01:00 with:
