Re: DRIE Operations
Decatur & Eastern Illinois operates road locals between Paris and Decatur. They reportedly run daily, the westbound usually during daylight. The counterpart seems to run in the evening. Schedule may vary on weekends, though I've caught the westbound twice on Saturday afternoons nearing Decatur. Ther...

It's the Lake Erie and Western line from Sandusky,Oh to Peoria,Il. Further west, from Gibson City through Bloomington to Peoria is still NS. East of Lafayette, it is now the NS line though Frankfort, Muncie, Portland,IN. One source suggests the segment between Gibson City and Cheneyville was abando...

Re: KJRY Video David Jordan
I enjoyed it! Thanks for posting. With the decline of corn products I wonder what will happen to this line? Roquette America still ships to Peoria area connections via the KJRY, just not as much as in past years. This may be in part due to the temporary suspension of through service in September 20...

Re: NS at Monticello
Monticello I believe is on the old Wabash branch to Peoria. Last I knew it saw a pair of freights in each direction and random extra trains (big Caterpillar plant near Peoria that they will sometimes run unit trains out of). There was no Wabash branch to Peoria. Norfolk Southern created a new route...

Re: Track on S.W. May street in Peoria
Who serviced this line and when service ended. Thanks from Michigan. That was the "Alley Track," built by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy RR in the early 20th century to serve new industries locating between S. Adams and S. Washington ("SW" came later). Originally two sections, they were connected...

Re: KJRY Business/Traffic Questions
First question I have is does anybody know the amount of annual traffic the KJRY oversees? I've seen a few different figures online ranging from 7,500 to over 12,000 (which is a pretty big gap). Just curious if anybody out there knows a solid annual traffic number. Main KJRY traffic sources: - Swit...

Re: AARR Lease of Two Segments of NS Track in Toledo
That short spur is used as a team track.

They were of the type us...

Re: Fulton St Crossing removal
Do we have a timeframe on when rails will start to be lifted and when crossings will start to disappear? Lifting those rails will DRASTICALLY improve that area's appearance. Does lifting the rails also include the rails left over in the grass from the old LS&MS? It will be so nice to see Butterwort...

Re: Steam on the G&W
G&W's steam policy is weird. The story above is proof of that. I believe that the reason why they managed to get on the TP&W is because they have had a long relationship with them. The G&W might own the railroad but I BELIEVE they are individually managed, I'm not 100% certain on the management str...
