I’m going to be in Dunkirk tomorrow and was wandering if it was a very busy spot or not. Thanks for any info!

If you saw three or four trains during daylight hours it would be considered a extremely busy day.

Re: Dunkirk Ohio
Been there a few times. I was wondering if that old brick railroad tower building is still in use. It has been there for many years. The last time I was there the railroad was still using it but it has been at least 10 years ago. Not many trains run there anymore my buddy lives by the tracks tells me maybe four a day sometimes six but nothing much there like it was in the past.

CSX signal crews still us it. I think the train count is a little higher than six though.northstar16 wrote: The last time I was there the railroad was still using it but it has been at least 10 years ago.

Tower's still there. As a typical overbuilt Pennsy facility it will outlive the apocalypse. Dunkirk's not very busy. In 24 hours there might be 10 trains. Your best bet would be to start in Ft. Wayne or Lima in the morning, see if you can get an eastbound NS (usually an oil train), and chase it.

Re: Dunkirk Ohio
This is why the tower is a brick, compared to the other towers that once dotted the former PRR main.
