2007 WNYP Movements

Tell us What? Where? and When you saw it on the WNYP in 2007?

1/1707 Around 5pm I caught an unknown NS empty hopper train headed westbound on the north side crossing in Scio. I like that statement, "westbound on the north side crossing of Scio." I didnt get the count of the cars but it they were being pulled by 2 six axle NS painted engines. Again. No camera in the car. Anyone else seen anything down here, lately?

I was at the Meadville Yard all day yesterday. The WNYP crew tossed around cars and built the consist for NS C23. Then they took a few cars over to the customer that is on the other side of French Creek along Mercer Pike and came back. I don't remember who the customer is. Then they hooked onto (1) empty lumber car and left west bound. I didn't give chase because I didn't figure they would be going to Franklin with (1) car, but that's where they went. I thought maybe they were switching out another local customer. They left Meadville Yard at about 1130, and returned at about 1400 with a loaded lumber car and 2 tanks. In the meantime, NS C23 delivered 16 misc. cars at about 1215 and left with about 3x that many. Pittsburgh West must have fell asleep. It took them about a 1/2 hour to get a Form D out of the yard to return to Ferrona (not Ytown as I stated previously). With that said, I caught a meet at the west end of the yard with WNYP returning, and C23 finally getting permission to leave. My brother told me he saw WNYP Wednesday coming back from Oil City and saw them switching out the customer on the opposite side or RT8 in Reno.
