The past few times I have driven past the old DTSL Lang Yard it has looked like a storage and interchange yard. Power from western roads and regionals too. Has the yard been closed or downgraded to this point? Where is CN doing their interchange at?

I would be willing to bet that the Via car tacked onto the rear of an Amtrak powered consist had an adapter. The only reason I know about this is I have a friend who placed his Amtrak approved PV on a VIA powered train a few years back and promptly did about $10,000 damage to the electrical system o...

One of the biggest problems with mixing Amtrak and Via equipment is the differences in the HEP wiring.

There are adaptor connectors available in ...

1 or 2 trains a day on the old WLE, I don't think so. Sense the NS/Conrail connection in Oak Harbor went into service we are now talking multi trains hourly on average. General freight, stacks, TOFC and a WLE train both ways using its trackage rights to Toledo. Power is about anything you could drea...
