There is a parking lot at the old Amtrak depot, and public restrooms available 24/7 two blocks west of the depot at the Public Safety building. About 9 miles west of Elkhart is Arnold St. in South Bend, where CN and N...

It's too bad Rosie (Nancy Walker) the Bounty Paper Towel Lady isn't still around.

Or are you kiddies too young to remember her.

Caught Q327-24 in St. Joseph around 12:55am with CSXT 7851 leading.

They got nailed by DD91.9, hotbox, axle 106, north rail, at 1am, but found nothing and headed west about 40 min later or so.

Confirmed tornado east of Goshen, IN, though this would affect NS, not CSX.

Apparently, E949 was stuck in St. Joseph for 4 hours while maintainers and track inspectors cleared the tracks west of there.

Just heard from the RA dispatcher that Q326-21 is departing Cline Ave.

Now, RA is unable to raise them, as they are now at Pine and have probably switched to NS channel.

If these are the same storms that tore through SW MI on Friday evening, I missed our bow-echo. :| I was watching TV and fell asleep around 5pm, woke up at 6:30pm or so, thinking I had slept until dark, as there was little if any light coming into my room(I have room darkening shades, but they still ...

R388 was thru St Joe about 18:30, according to my brother. Ooh, Houston, we may have a problem. St. Joe is in Indiana where this train would normally go. St. Joseph is in MI where this train was rerouted. Just a minor technicality. :) I know we are talking about reroutes, but since this is no longe...

It is bright blue with Pan-am round logo, and relettered MEC or something like that. It went through St. Joseph at 11:00 p...

Q149 is on the ground, blocking Old Suman Rd. just east of the U.S. 6 overpass near Suman, IN. Hulcher is on the scene, and will likely be there all day today judging by the mess they have to clean up.
