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.

Re: CSX Plymouth sub train symbols (Early 2000's)
So you tell me why it was given to NS at Detroit when it was to interchange at Toledo?
I forgot to include that one of my conversations with NS CS when it was in Elkhart the lady asked me where the car was going. me -the address on the waybill. Click click on her keyboard. We don't serve Grand Rapids. me I know that, you give it to GDLK, to the GR. You have done that for about 40 cars last year. Her - I'll pass it to some office for resolution. I check, that office is a M-F 8-5 operation. Oh well I guess it will sit at least to Monday. That's when the mill said NS was giving it to CSX in Detroit.
