Re: PAR Locomotive Fleet - General Discussion

I think that leaves 345, 350, 381, and 502 on B&E for geeps as well as 3401-3405. Did CSX transfer ownership of the C40-8W's to B&E, or are those leased? 345-350 (now out of service)-381-502-3401-3402-3403-3404 remain on lease to B&E for now. 3405-5000-5001-5930-5936-5943-5946-5967-5974...

You forgot the 313. It has gone back as well. 350 may be the next one to go back. And the 502 is still on lease to B&E.

"Does anybody know where all these turnouts are going?"

These are switches for yard track. They have self guarding frogs with no guardrails. I would say Rigby is where they're going.

Currently just the EDBF/BFED turn. That's it. More often than not, they turn at Bellows Falls but will run north of there as needed.

Normally, unless there were extenuating circumstances, unit Mt. Tom trains headed south at Greenfield. If the plant wasn't ready to be spotted, the trains would stage on the Runner (former 105) between CPF-385 (Greenfield East) & CPR-35 (Deerfield Jct.), or on the Siding between CPR-18 (Northamp...

A look at the 335 WLs was made after 400 was far enough east, and the Single WL showed R-Y-Y, something that doesn't appear on any NORAC listing I could find. Red-Yellow-Yellow is a "Non-Conforming" aspect. It appears as a Special Instruction in the Timetable. It is a Medium Approach Slow...
