Re: NS Heritage Unit Location Updates

How the heck did this one get by ? The Virginian unit was on the NS 332 on 5/13/13. Currently on the NS 181 at Oakwood yard on track 16 in the EBC. After getting banned for something idiotic, i guess i just didn't feel like posting when i saw it Monday morning. Guess it slipped my mind. :twisted:

Those are ex-NREX, which were originally the CR units there. Now I just gotta make sure KCS bought all of them.

Just a quick glance at that roster shows atleast KCS 7000 at LTEX now

Re: NREX SD50's

The only SD50's i see on the NREX roster are the Ex Conrail and the ex UP ones. The UP's are at Silvis. I assume the CR are too.

Didn't KCS just sell their SD50's to a scrapper or Larrys a few months back?

1 CP GP38 and a D&H SD40-2 at I96 and M39 in the yard D&H unit was facing west. That could be the D&H unit that has been working the T76 local on CP's Windsor Sub. The CP unit should be an SD40-2. Since when did CP save hell even D&H have 40-2's!? Go home racer you're drunk. :P Should actually be a...

Re: Terrorists Look to Rail

While I am glad the Canadian Mounties got the culprits before they could derail that VIA train, I don't think this could lead to additional harassment, as long as you are not anywhere your not supposed to be (ie trespassing). And also, as many of us carry the Photographer's Rights with us where we ...

451 is Flat Rock to the IHB in Gibson
And I thought 451 was a Flat Rock - Fond du Luc or some other place in WI train :?

M391 ran from Flat Rock to Fond du Lac for a period of time.

Re: Cps iCE and Dme

No, I am thinking of the Detroit to Chicago CP trains on NS. I live in Defiance, my Parent's live along the Wabash North of Alvordton. I would say that half the time I see a DME or ICE unit it is leading. They are quite uncommon here on the Garrett Sub anyway, compared to the CP trackage rights tra...

Re: Flint - CSX

If CSX really wanted to, they could have all their Port Huron traffic go on M383/M382. M383/M382 technically originates/terminates in Stanley Yard and all the Port Huron traffic from D710 goes through Stanley via Q321/Q322. Time will tell. So you want to add traffic to a pair of trains that already...

It has more to do with the branch trains as originally posted.
