Re: CSX Train Location Updates - December 2021
Y106 was moving cars between Alto and Elmdale around 12:30. When I returned around 4:30, they had left 1 carload of pipe. No tanks that I could see.

Re: Study Time....again - A2TC commuter rail project
People supporting this don’t realize that it costs a lot of money to run a train: crew, fuel, locomotive maintenance, leasing the passenger cars, and technically up keep of the tracks itself should be added. But the SOM will likely cover that cost for the state owned lines.

Re: Study Time....again - A2TC commuter rail project
Last count, I think there are 6 open in Lowell and 2 under construction. None close to the GRE, yet.

Re: Study Time....again - A2TC commuter rail project
If you are going to reopen abandoned railroads, consider the old C&O north from the GLC west of Cadillac? Any rail line reopening would be expensive considering the proposed service will have a hard time covering operating costs on existing lines.

Re: Shortline Updates - December 2021
GRE left another line of mostly BNSF hoppers in Lowell. May have been the ones south of town, but too cold and dark to check!

Re: Shortline Updates - December 2021
All but 2 of the King hoppers are unloaded and there are 2 tracks of hoppers south of Lowell. Might be what was brought Saturday and some of the empties.

Re: Shortline Updates - December 2021
GRE was switching King around 11:30. Most tracks are full plus 20 or so BNSF hoppers south of town. Did not see them head west. Ann Street yard still has more hoppers.

Re: Shortline Updates - November 2021
GRE yard had ~40 cars west of Alpine this afternoon, including 3 loaded center beams and the remainder primarily BNSF hoppers. 2104 was moving them around, after returning light from the east around noon. Around 6:00pm, looked like most of them were still west of Alpine.
