Trains on CSX St. Lawrence Sub (CR's Montreal Secondary)

Q621 near watertown at this time with csx leader 621. Long train with lots of them small blue stack containers on the front half, about 40 or 50 cars of them. Also the k533 is in Pulaski at this time to head north.

Just posted on the Trains.com forum - there's a washout on the sub, apparently not too far out of Syracuse. Up to 48 hours before it can be back in service.

Kinda odd that CSX thinks their Montreal line is "EAST" of Syracuse, west maybe,north certainly,east no.

Interesting. That would explain the rusty rails up by my end of the sub, and the lack of horns, now that I think of it.

Sheesh - I just kinda read "east" and assumed "west." The error never even registered.

I suppose that CP293(?) and points up as far as Woodard might be considered "west" of Syracuse.

Still haven't figured out exactly where the washout was.

Washout is/was around mp18.
First train north is X152-13 leaving Woodard 8:45pm.

CP 293 is west of Syracuse, but this line joins the main at CP291, next to Destiny USA. I suppose you could consider Montreal east of Syracuse even though it's more north than anything else.

The washout was between the County Route 12 & Hungry Lane Road crossing. Believe to be caused by a beaver dam.

Probably here: N 43.30113 W 76.13658

Satellite photos appear to show some riprap on the east side of the ROW. I'm guessing they've had some issues there before.

Well now they have more issues as some of the ballast/riprap cars have derailed at the washout site.

Something went north about 4:30 am. Too dark/too many leaves yet to tell if it was a Fulton local or something else.

That was probably the B100 going up to get the south part of the stone train still on the rail.

It sounds like almost everything is annulled, but I did hear there's a Q153 out there somewhere...

There was a short train in the siding at Pulaski tonight - looked to be dump cars and hoppers. Probably the north end of the work train.

Q153 and Q620 tied down in Watertown, Q621 tied down in DeWitt, the train tied down in Pulaski is the part of the stone train that was involved in the derailment. Should be a busy day on the St. Lawrence tomorrow if they are able to get the track repaired and reopened.
