CSX crews from Chicago east to wherever it gets back to CP (Buffalo?).

Yes, Buffalo. Thanks.

When CSX I166/I165 runs (I don’t know the CP ID), does it run with CP crews the entire way (obviously with a crew change or two) since it originates on the CP, runs on the CSX then back to CP? Or is it a CSX crew?

Miraculously, only minor injuries. I know the speed of impact wasn’t high, but I know L743 well from when I lived down south and did my three trips to Folkston that I did. Back then it was A771. It often becomes a key train after it works Waycross (it works Waycross, Baldwin, Wildwood and terminate...

I thought the hand throw switch caused the issue of I032 being lined into L732’s occupied track?

That’s how it’s sounding to me now, they were running under EC1’s as I just said.

Well, it got lined into the other guy but how did the system even let that happen? Should be a fascinating investigation, to say the least. It’s actually sounding now as more comes out that the signals were out in Folkston and they were running under EC1’s. They had switch tenders on the switches a...

CSX I032 and CSX L743 just collided head on at the Folkston turnout in Folkston, Georgia. Injuries are unknown but all signs are pointed at the dispatcher, which per multiple railfans on the ground in Folkston, lined the L743 right into the 032.

L508 is on his way clear CP Gaines with two SD70M-2’s and an SD60. Has a Southern 86’ autoparts boxcar around a dozen cars back behind the power. Not a long train.

SD60 will be dropped in Pontiac.

Track work taking place, I’m assuming? Also, I just checked Amtrak booking and it showed full service Wolverines on Tuesday (4/16) from PNT to CHI, but Wednesday (4/17) shows mixed bus service to BTL of all three scheduled services from PNT to CHI. Correct. Per a reliable source, 352-16 will turn i...

No Amtraks east of Battle Creek on Tuesday and Wednesday, if that hasn’t been posted yet.

Starting in May, we (me and Katie both run the channel) will be completely changing how we make videos and edit them. I think it’s well overdue, and will be more ...

I recently just started watching the Santa Fe Jct cam and it is really busy. I have been seeing anywhere from 4-10 trains in an hour. Roughly how many trains run through Santa Fe Jct in a 24 hour period? Does NS run through there if so how many? And how much does CP run through there total? I don’t...

What I believe to be RR40 is sitting at short of the railroad crossing at YD, the Rouge River bridge just closed so maybe he’ll get the green light soon.

Confirmed to be RR40, through YD at 4:28 with NS 6105 leading a cut of tank cars.

Today’s Q116 has CN 8952 (GT Heritage) leading. Don’t know its whereabouts at the time.

CP Cedar at 10:45

Just an fyi, no Amtrak 364 tonight for the Flint subdivision railfans out there.

Pontiac-Detroit local returning through Royal Oak 20+ cars including pick up from DCON.

L515

I thought I might as well put an update on Katie’s recovery in here. What was thought to be 3 weeks that would be spent in the hospital is looking more like 2, she’s been doing absolutely phenomenal and recovering a lot quicker than they thought she would. Then it’s several weeks of taking it easy a...

I don't know if the SC44 units are compatible with the NPCU's Amtrak used to use on the Wolverine trains in the past, which was common when Amtrak had "power" on both ends. Yes, they are compatible. The reason why they aren’t seen on the Wolverine and the Blue Water anymore is because they are not ...
