Re: Conrail at McClouth, Trenton

Interesting article, and useful info. Wonder if anything actually will happen with both mills in regards to getting a railroad connection again soon. When/if they do, it would be interesting to see trains crossing that 'ol bridge again. Thanks for the info, gentlemen, and I'll report any further act...

Conrail at McClouth, Trenton

Conrail has a backhoe and a couple crewmen at the South end of McClouth Steel in Trenton, today. They are on the ROW that leads to the bridge over the King/West Jefferson intersection. Looks as though they are clearing brush and trees from the track. Anyone hear anything in regards to McClouth lately?

Re: Another suicide in Downriver

I'm in total agreement with the sign M.D. Bently proposes. Seariously, people will never learn- at least 4 incidents downriver this year alone, I believe it was 3 last year, and surely more to come. I also think it terrible that the crews have to put up with this. Who's to say their jobs should, by ...

Re: CN Train Location Updates 6/24 - 6/30

That CN BNSF UP lashup will be on M384 or M391. They were in Flatrock as of 4:30 pm-ish with auto racks at the front of their consist, waiting on the departure track. I'm guessing M391 so the foreign units can get back to Chicago.

Re: CN Updates 1/15 - 1/22

Two black IC SD70s (1020 leading 1018) pulled a train NB into Flatrock Yard today, off the IORY. North Tower asked if they were good for leading into Canada and I believe the crew told them "Yes", although the message was a tad garbled. They also mentioned checking 1018 out; Something to do with it ...

Re: Downriver car/train accident

In the video from WXYZ, it clearly shows two CN locomotives travelling light over the crossing where Slocum is, which is Van Horn Rd., just off of West Jefferson. Therefore, I can't see why they'd record the train there if the collision took place at Fort St., which is nearly a half-mile away from ...

Re: Downriver car/train accident

The accident happened on Van Horn Rd. at Slocum on the Shoreline Sub. The crossing is just West of West Jefferson, and there is a blind corner for the tracks. CN usually goes through there at a modest clip, maybe 15-25 mph, depending whether or not they are lined through FN. The train had to be eit...
