Elkhart and Western question

[David Collins]

Found two GP9’s sitting in Elkhart with Pioneer reporting marks, one of them did have E&W markings.

I’m not familiar with the E&W, when do they run and where do they run?

[AARR]

I don't know when or how often they run.

When I used to drive to Elkhart and surrounding areas for delivery work on the regular, the E&W from Elkhart ran right by one of my stops. They were ALWAYS running Tuesday and Thursday. Not once did they work a different day. The E&W out of Argos is a totally different set of crews.

NS provides the interchange with all three operations in the area (Elkhart, White Pigeon and Kendalville) with Pioneer providing local switching only. The Elkhart operation recently received $2.6 million to move the interchange to the west edge of Elkhart (out by Nappanee St). NS will deliver cars to the new yard.

NS does not handle the White Pigeon interchange with MSO, that would be Grand Elk.
