I Passed the crossing at Clement/Muller there are what appear to be two sets of pre-fabricated trackage sitting on the south side of Grant Ave, guess the line still has value although I'm not sure there is an active customer north of Grant. On a side note I went to update the condition of #2202 all ...

So I was setup at a location not named in the interest of causing issues but my tripod was setup with my video equipment which I operate remotely from my truck at a grade crossing just above an active yard, an NS set of units pulled just short of the grade and stopped for whatever reason so I was re...

I just drove by the NE airport and there was about 20 tank cars on the line along the Roosevelt Blvd is there really an industry on the line that would require so many tank cars? Or do they store them up there for some reason?

Thanks for the update Chris! What do you think will happen to ATC #8635? Haven't been able to get any photo's or video and now that AT&C is closed what happens to these switchers do they get picked up by the industry that buys AT&C or does it go to auction?

I've noticed a bright yellow paint job on the tracks at grant ave to the south it appears to be a de-railer, was this always there or is this recently placed here indicating that there no longer is an active customer up the branch line? PRL #2202 is still at it's parking location and have'nt seen th...

Any news on double stacks haven't seen one yet? No movement at the Krewstown jobsite either with the exception that it appears the equipment has been removed.

Well I heard that too just can't confirm as I have not seen a double stack yet, but I don't think what I'm seeing at Krewstown is related although I may be wrong, one of the kids told me about the access point idea just not sure how reliable that is?

Yeah I've been watching for awhile now, man they move slow I'm not sure if they are just using the spot as some type of material holding area for all that ballast or something else?

Ok so I have been trolling around the board learning what I can and have this to add to this thread. I was over to see PRL #2202 and it appears to be in the early stages of vandalism as several engine bay doors were openned and it was starting to get tagged as the photo below shows. The tracks were ...
