How fast do you CSX guys go in and around Erie, i was steelhead fishing Elk Creek a few weeks ago where what us fisherman call the tubes (where the tracks cross the creek) and you guys we're just flyin by every 5-15 minutes and i mean cruisin, was just wonderin how fast you guys go thru that area, same with Northeast/Ripley NY area, i imagine its the same line, both double track mains, thats gotta be 1 of the busiest lines i've ever seen.

CSX intermodals can go 60, manifest and everything else 50
Amtrak can go 79

NS I'm not sure of. I think intermodals are allowed 60.

The CSX line is called the Erie West Sub west of 97, east of 97 its called the Lakeshore Sub. 160.860 and 161.340 are the freq's on your scanner.

The NS line is called the Buffalo District. 161.250 is the freq on your scanner.

Happy Thanksgiving and Good night now!
