Thanks for the run-down, I enjoy reading these. Incredible.Raildudes dad wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 1:16 pmThat is 47 days in transit, 17 day bad ordered. And folks wonder why customers pay more for truck delivery? I know for a fact a project was shut down over this lumber not showing up in a timely manner.
CN and NS are outdoing themselves on another one. The car literally disappeared off the system. Sept 17 I advised the customer the car isn't moving in Elkhart. Waybill is CN Chgo NS. Then there were a number of moves Chicago to Chicago to CN back to NS back to CN but not a location. I just happened to do a trace one night and saw it was on 31Q24. Looking on the railroadfan wiki I found that was an Elkhart to Calumet Yard. Then poof it disappeared again. I told the customer it isn't moving and I cannot document where it is. Then this morning I tried a trace and lo and behold it was on 30Q30 going back to Elkhart. 162 cars behind the power. Now we will see if they give it to GDLK.Ben Higdon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 12:04 pmThanks for the run-down, I enjoy reading these.

So you tell me why it was given to NS at Detroit when it was to interchange at Toledo?
