midland, do you know if the I&O is coming up to Ashland tonight?

So it did come through Ohio last night in darkness. darn it, we must keep this thread going when it makes its return trip, I need to make the drive up from Columbus to see it. I'm still pissed about UP #1995 coming back west in darkness after it came east in daylight, by the time I catch wind of the...

Iowa Interstate Business Train in Lima!? Someone please update as soon as possible, am I to understand this train left Chicago this morning in route to Lima? Anyone see it to confirm if #513 is pulling it or not? I would do anything to see the Rock Island heritage unit, and if this special is still ...

Hey midland, do you know what engines are in Washington CH right now? I might head down there in the next day or two, but was looking to see if it would be worth it beforehand. Anything coming to Ashland or is CSX bringing any ethonal trains this week? Thanks!

I couldn't believe my ears this morning when I was awakened by a horn coming through Grandview, especially since I haven't heard anything come down the line to or from the north end of Buckeye Yard in probably like 3 months. Too bad by the time I hear them, it's too late to catch them going over the...

I live at 5th Ave and McKinley Ave, you know my brother Dennis from Cleveland, we were talking to you when the NS Derby Train was on the Dayton District in April.

Too bad it's probably gone now, I would have gladly drove down there today to get some pics of it in the daylight.

Thanks again Midland, I drove down at midnight and sure enough 5678 was at Ashland with its train. The diesel was still running, the horn was not, so maybe they got it unstuck on the way up? If you or Redside can confirm it is still there or will be there in the morning, I will drive back down to ge...

I actually just saw this train return tonight via the same line loaded with coal, it was sitting off 670 waiting for clearence to turn south through Scioto Junction. This time it was #447 again, but with #537 as it's mate instead. I still wonder why this train went this route? Has to be the longest ...

Thanks for the reply Midland Sub, is the 5678 in Grove City tonight? I might drive down there to see it, even in the dark and now the rain. Man, I need updates on when the I&O runs up to Ashland, I've never seen an I&O train up this way, and would love to go down to Grove City and see them when they...

I recently drove along the Midland from Wilmington to Grove City on my way back to Columbus from Cincinnati. I had a question about that new Valero plant in Bloomingburg, is it in the same location as the Cargill plant, I believe it was? I was expecting to see a whole new facility when I drove throu...

I just returned home in Columbus after a seeing a CSX train with ES44 #895 & AC4400 #447 as the power pulling over 100 empty SCWX coal cars north up to Toledo on the CSX line via Marysville & Ridgeway, which is very odd because all CSX coal trains use the C&O line when going from Columbus to Toledo....

It was even better catching the NS track inspection train at Bannon!

The NS track inspection train was in Columbus today!? Any pictures? I would have loved to have seen it, I don't suppose its still at Watkins Yard?

I totally forgot about the return trip, I'm sure it already came back through Ohio?

Hey Redside, were you at Hilliard Rome Rd? I was there in the Buckeyes jersey. My brother came down to go to Spring Game, mentioned something to him during the game that I should've checked the forum before we left to see if anything interesting was in Ohio. We decided after the game to head up to C...

Is this train heading East or West? I wanna give my brother in Cleveland a heads up if its going east.

Apparently NS 22K has a 7 unit lashup consisting of a UP, UP, KCS, TFMexico, CP, TFMexico, KCS heading east through Ohio right now. Last update I got was that it was on the Nickel Plate line east of Cleveland at 12:45pm. If anyone else can update, please do so. I would also love it if someone could ...

Whoa, I should have wandered into this thread sooner. Redside 20 & Midland Sub, I need some info from you guys. I've acutally been curious what runs on the IORY between Wash CH and Columbus. I've only seen 2 trains I can remember heading north into Columbus on this line, but saw each from 70 downtow...

My brother text me at 10:37am and said he saw the ICE from the freeway moving through Cleveland, so if you are anywhere west of there along the line, they will come through in daylight.

Just left Collinwood at 8:25pm. My brother and dad are waiting on it to come through Berea right now. I decided it wasn't worth the drive up just to see it in the dark. I'm kind of glad, I'd still be waiting on it at Greenwich right now.

Well, it seems like best option for me and shortest drive from Columbus is going to be see it at Greenwich, then hope I can get a night photo of it at Willard before heading back home. If it's in Buffalo now, I wish I had a better idea of what time it will come through there, maybe around 9pm? I've ...
