I have Recently saw postings of L090 train with grain hoppers on them as well as seeing for my self. Iam told they have Malt bulk loads in them. I have no idea where the car is being add in on the trains at. I guess you cant say they are all reefer trains any more.

MSchwiebert I have no Idea I was just told this today and I dont have any more details than this sorry. Also I have no Idea if the UP power stays on or not. I know there was one that just come off the UP to csx.

I just got word today that they now Run a L098/Q098 Chicago to Jax operates MTWTFSS.

HI good evneing Folks. I had just seen a post on trainorders about a UP ZDLJXP and frrom what the photo looked like as I am not a memeber so i cant see the big sized photo it looked to be a unit reefer train. So I wanted to ask what is the train ID on CSX for the trains going to railex in Jax? Thanks.

Hi Every one. I have seen some mixed cars on the U.P.R road/CSXT unit railex box car refer trains as of late. Does any one happen to know if they are comeing off of the U.P.R road that way? Also is the trains still considered a refer train or is it now considered a manifest? Thank you for the info a...

Thanks but I was talking about when they are on CSX them are UP symbols.

Hi Everyone I understand that All CSX the trains have Alpha symbols Like Q309 Is a.k.a M-WALIND,Q410 M-WAXSEL, Q415 shows as M-CBLRMT and Q676 as the M-NASHAM. So My question is what would CSX Q090 and 091 be called under the Alpha symbols? Thanks.

Good after noon folks. I saw a post over at Trainorder saying that the Fostoria Tower is to close on the 31 of this month.

Thanks CSX_CO for the info. I also just saw a photo on FB that Railex haves leased some of the New Cryo Trans 72ft reefer cars and they have the railex logo and name on them as well. I find this interesting when UP just got 225 new 72ft reefer cars.

Good eveing folks. I was wondering weather or not if Railex haves sent any trains to Jax as of yet? I know it said it was to start last month but I ve not saw any thing any place on line saying they have started running and unit trains in and out of jax thanks.
