Wellsboro

Thinking of heading over to Wellsboro next month and spending all day at the diamonds. As in roughly 6am thru 9pm. What's the train counts like on CSX and CN these days??? I know they run a lot of trains during the night, but was hoping for some decent day time action.

Re: Another colorful day of railfanning on the Main Line Sub

Thanks, John. I really appreciate you getting back with me! Thanks for the clarifications, too. I'm really surprised they annulled Q525/Q526 between Nashville and Louisville when the economy was down. Things must have been worse than I had thought. Last time I was down that way was December of 2007 ...

Re: Another colorful day of railfanning on the Main Line Sub

Thanks for your postings on a subject that means a lot to me. I used to live alongside the Main Line Sub from 2002-2004. Am headed back to southern Kentucky this summer to visit some friends. Will probably drive down to Amqui (Nashville) for a day as well. Just out of curiosity, would you be able to...

Fostoria Trip

After driving nearly 800 miles for my yearly trek to Fostoria, guess when I arrived? How about 12 hours after Q149 had their train on the ground in Suman Indiana!!! I had this trip planned for months, and Q149 just had to go on the ground the afternoon before my 0600 arrival time. Knowing what had a...

Re: Fostoria CSX Q Trains

Glad to hear of so many ethanol trains running thru town now! Thanks too for all the coaltrain information and numbers. I am really looking forward to getting back to Fostoria next month. One final question that comes to mind though is whatever happened to Q351 and Q390? Do these pair of trains stil...

Fostoria CSX Q Trains

Will soon be making my yearly trek over to Fostoria next month. What's the traffic like these days on CSX? Last year's train counts were the lowest I have ever seen since my first trip there in 2002. Here is my list of CSX Q Trains I sighted during my last 30 hour marathon in May of 2009. This is an...
