1982 Westbound Watch - K68320

[strugglin]

My $20 is on it leading back out. Just waiting for the first AEI read to confirm it.

So, am I to assume it is just the 3 UP engines on the return trip? Or did they keep the CSX power also and turn all 5 units?

Will this train follow the same schedule back west? Stops in Buffalo and Willard? Or do Westbounds stop in Collinwood?

After driving 250 miles on Wednesday and missing out at Greenwich, I think I wanna go back, stay put until I see it, then follow it to Willard and see it west of there, daylight permitting.

Headed out to be in OH before she shows up. I am also going to put $20 on 1982 leading.

[ConrailForever]

I'll go ahead and restate that it is leading. Last I heard, it was through Amsterdam, NY at 1:40. I guess it hit a three hour delay at Utica. Not sure where it is now. Someone help a brother out

I dont rember what town it was but his ETA for Buffalo at his current speed, is 10:30. When I attempt to get breakfast for the second time, I will look again. But I will say this much, this weather is bad. Q110 was almost four hours late, getting called, as was Q136. Lots and lots of recrews out this morning. People at breakfast was saing the airport (Midway) is flooded.

By Lyons, NY at 0830, with a road relief crew to get on in Rochester. No outbound in Buffalo yet. Should be to Buffalo around lunchtime, and if they call it to go west, it should be to Cleveland in the evening, and west of Willard overnight.

UP 1982 on K68320 at East Chili NY QC 380 9:42am.

TO post had it 40 miles east of Buffalo at 10AM (roughly)

[Y@]

It'll come through in the middle of the night.

[ConrailForever]

Apparently just out of Buffalo in the past few minutes.

[strugglin]

That would put it in Collinwood around 4:00 then, does anyone know where WB's refuel? Will it be Collinwood or Willard?

They fuel at Station W near the former Quaker Tower. CP 175 IIRC before hopping on the Shortline around Cleveland.

I'd put it through Greenwich at 7pm.

[strugglin]

Has anyone actually seen it? Is it just the 3 UP engines, or the same 5 unit lashup?

[ConrailForever]

Its just the yuppies. Its probably closing in on me in Brocton, NY by now. The 7886 that was on K648 just went by trailing on Q381.

[strugglin]

Cody, did you see K695 with CP/Soo power come through already also? It was supposed to be ahead of K683.

It was supposed to be ahead, but the K695 still hasn't left Buffalo.

[ConrailForever]

He's about to hit Brocton, NY, as he's in range of the handheld scanner. ETA in Brocton 1:35pm.

Edit: through Brocton at 1:38pm.

Through North East, PA, 2:05pm.

[strugglin]

Is anyone going to be on the east side of Cleveland that can let us know when it arrives in Collinwood and then when it departs there?
