Hey guys,
I am not much of the freight expert, I know much more about Amtrak operations but anyway I had a question about freight on the NEC. I like to railfan the Northeast Corridor and every now and then I will see a freight train on the mostly passenger dominated corridor. They basically all have NS locos (ususally GP38-2 or GP40-2) and sometimes a loco is on each end. I am under the impression these are Conrail Shared Assets Trains. Does somebody have info about these trains (where they run, when they run, and how often)? Any info is appreciated. Also about how many CRSAO trains are run on the NEC in this area daily? I know some of them come out of Morrisville. What are routes for some of the other trains? Thanks.
