I'm wondering if this is because EMD or GE doesn't have a 4-axle engine in their catalog.....or do they???

Well, since 350 had 3 Superliners, they must have really been flying for you to miscount :wink: :wink: Today's 350-355 had the engines back to back up front tonight account of the cars not having m-u capabilities for push-pull; engines ran around train in PNT. I kinda liked it that way, train handle...

I was wondering if anybody would notice that; I whacked a deer west of Ann Arbor the previous night with that engine and probably did it a favor as it had a broken back leg

Ooops

Err, Frank I shouda said.....

Nate, I don't know what they are doing with the ITCS right now, and I have no idea what the immediate plan will be when they turn it back on, sorry. When those that are in charge are oblivious to the obvious, what are we to do?? Some of the 'experts' seem to treat our opinions like flatulence--they ...

Yes, the ITCS is still down; I asked the supr. when I saw him in Chi a couple of weeks ago when the ITCS would be turned back on, he said the end of Jan. I wouldn't hold my breath about that prediction considering how short we are on engines right now ( there was at least a dozen units sitting by on...

Steve, are you sure about the time for 350?? Last I knew, scheduled departure time outta BC was 1240p. What, no pictures??? Surely I would have thought you would have took some of 351 with the 508 on the rear, I sure did see enough people yesterday taking photos of 353 and 352 with a 500 on the east...

I've mentioned this to my boss previously and asked him to ask NS to make the meet at Hill as I think it would go alot quicker; his reply was similar to mine about the meet at Hill, but it was up to the DS and it seems that they get a little set in their ways and probably don't even think about the ...

Well, maybe we could look for the stuff inside them and then decide......

Anybody know if the train was 'live', or was it deadheading back to CHI?

This coming from the guy who works in a t-shirt and shorts all year long..... Let me just say that even though I didn't have a stocking cap and gloves on, I had three layers of long sleeve shirts and my coat along with my rain pants on and it was tolerable. While I could believe that those thin-skin...

Yes, yesterday's 365 had the 511 leading; while the view was very nice, the lack of heat sure wasn't....

uh, maybe on the Pere Marquette train, but I see BNSF power all the time in Chi that comes in from 4, 6,or 8.

That musta happened right after I left as I saw come into town while I was waiting for a Metra at the Airline overhead; throw in that a yard move with a lite unit slid thru a stop signal right in front of 351 coming at 21st street and it wasn't a very good day at CUS. Myself, I almost took out a NIP...

I can remember busting thru 6'-8' drifts south of Reading on the Indiana Northeastern, not to mention the crossings that had snow piled up on them.

I called TD-2 to tell him to turn them on last night when I was coming east into that snowstorm; I noticed that most were working while some were not. What's a DS to do if the maintainer's not keeping them working as intended????? Sit and wait, just like the train crews do :wink: :wink:

I voted for :01, seems rather obvious to me as there are no nano-second places in the time; I'm still not sure what the facination is with who is '#1' as last I knew, Zack doesn't give out awards for it......














Do you Zack??

C'mon Matt, you know rules are NEVER broken or ignored on the railroad.....

Right now there are 3 C&O GP-30s' in Chessie colors available on e-bay; the 3011, 3027, and the 3044...

When they put them on the ground, they sure don't mess around......
