Understand yet the CSX was in the front yesterday.

At 7:05 am this morning CSX was going east out of Madisonville with a good 30 plus hoppers

When I was down in Venice Fl a few years ago a gas tanker hit a car on I-75 flipped over under a overpass and exploded killing three. The road was shut down for hours. The overpass was destroyed and so was part of the road. It took two years before they got everything back to normal. There could hav...

I thought in some counties in Ohio nuclear waste and some fuels could not be transported by rail. True or false?

I was wondering if their entire fleet will be down the road painted the same or maybe this is the only unit painted this way?

Thanks for the info. I learned a few things here tonight. I agree the rail going east out of Madisonville is pretty tough as trains don't get enough speed to make the grade. Man sometimes they really have a hard time getting up and need a pusher from the rear...There is a train that comes back with ...

Yes many time I have seen pushers pushing long trains up the hill from Madisonville to Maderia and they really have a hard time. I guess the speed limit in Madisonville is such they can't get enough power to make the grade to Maderia. I know there is one train that goes though Madisonville around 7:...

So do any passenger trains run out of Cincinnati to Columbus on this rail any longer?

I know all about cameras and websites. Takes time to get them operational and online. It will be worth the wait yet looking forward to see what you have.

On a average how many trains come from Norwood to Washington Courthouse per day? In the summer I did hear at least three trains on the tracks two going up one coming back mostly hoppers when I did see them. At one time this was a very active track. I know there is a steep grade from Madisonville to ...

Checked it out a one today. Big yellow banner coving a third of the page can't see any working camera as well. Banner needs to be raised and think you have a shot. Will check back later in the day. Railstream is ok but half the time their cameras are off line. Why pay for a service and you can't see...

Sorry boys I made a mistake. I meant to say not the Bellevue Yard but the Buckeye Yard. I know NS and CSX share that yard and CSX doesn't have anything to do with Bellevue.

Gee I ask a question or two and I get I'm trolling. Trolling for what just asking a question. Now I'm a moron for asking a question. Next I will be a dumb person for asking a question. I figure most here work for railroads or have been affiliated with railroad operation. I'm just a novice asking a q...

Midland Sub thank you for your explanation in detail. Not being a railroad employee it is rather difficult to see all the details you wrote about but now I understand. Hey I'm just a novice. I do understand that the Peavine has issues, double stacks would never work there, and light rail would be th...

I thought you could tell me! Your the one that brought up the subject on page three. You keep telling me that the Peavine won't fix the problem but I was wondering if you can tell us what can? I know NS needs more crews but there is no more crews. Bellevue has a new yard, more room, yet yesterday it...

Here we go again after CSX wrote a chapter on the Peavine now he wants to open it up or maybe he is just rattling the cage. The Peavine would be the answer as with all the improvements in Bellevue trains are still sitting on the rails today. Nothing moving.

Big business wants old timers to retire. That is the way of the future. Big business wants younger people, new ideas, new concepts, forget about relationships, we only want to make money. I have seen fathers of successful companies hand over their company to their sons who have business degrees. In ...

I'm glad you added this article about the expansion. This kind of sums things up. It will be interesting how NS and CSX are going to handle the load up north as there is no place to put frights now. Looks to be one hell of a mess if someone doesn't come up with a plan soon.

I'm grasping pal just trying to learn is all. I go up though Bellevue a few times a year and every time I go up there mass trains are on the tracks not moving. Here in Cincinnati even on very busy tracks we never see mass trains just sitting with no place to go. Even Queensgate has one large yard in...

They can run less cars but still that doesn't solve the problem. The issue is NS has too much business. Less cars on a load means more loads to follow the first train. With less crews not sure how that will play out.
