Re: Engine fire at Kent City
Dont get to worked up boys and girls. It wasnt the wiring. It was something else. MQT's crack shop forces will have it back together and running in no time.

Re: CSX Pullman, MI Derailment, March 16, 1998.
I remember that one well. I was in the hotel in Chicago when the word came down that X502 had clobbered a salt truck just north of Grand Junction. No trains would be running anytime soon and the re routes had already started. I was expecting a cab ride home but was called for a wreck train out of Ba...

Re: Freight car scraping at Wyoming
Rumor has it that The Mighty Marquette will soon be sending the POS 4433 to Maggie's lead for the grand finally.

Re: 90s CSX Michigan Operations
Technisand was busy on minute and quite the next. Seemed like they got a switch everyday though. I remember CSX stealing BN Macs off a coal train at Grand Junction, and running a HEAVY sand extra to Curtis where a Barr crew got on it. They used a BH crew to do it because the Blue Island pool was dep...

Re: 90s CSX Michigan Operations
Q337 was a good train for a few years in the late 90's on the west end. It was called everyday at 16:00. Power was on and air tested. Had a good time working with Doktor No and another conductor that LOVED to go into Barr Yard and raise the blood pressure of a few trainmasters. Q336 kinda sucked tho...

Re: CSX Train Location Update 7/21/12
Marquettes problem's aren't all because of the heat and the 10 mph track after it hit's 90. No people. Traffic remains strong. No people. A Sperry car hit the track real hard after it cooled off and made a huge mess. No people. Ballast train sitting there for almost a month waiting to be unloaded. N...

Re: check Avery out!!!
No fame. Just glad to share. As for those little joes.... I love the real ones but all the models suck! I have four Overlands from years ago. They look fantastic but extremely finicky. Have four of the MTH joes and they won't stay on the track. Plus one of them just went buns up for no reason. It's ...

Re: MQT Rail: Month of May
Not that it really matter's. But all CP snoot's had 101 inch noses. The earlier versions had the standard 81 inch nose for the time. CP kept they're cabs and toilet facilities in really good shape. Clean and warm in the winter. Unlike some CSX stuff were you could be setting out a bad order and look...
