Hmmmm...... nothing like Pumpkins and a big Bumble Bee! Lol.

Any recent updates on the location of the Virginian unit? Heritageunits.com hasn't had an update since April 15. Just curious to see if it will travel east of Buffalo.

The train the VGN unit is on got parked at LaCrosse, WI. It was "planned" for 10:30pm last night.
It will be a couple days before it gets to our area.

OK Mike, thanks very much for the update!

So, NS8100 left Buffalo, per a source, around 01:08 hrs and as of now it will be reaching Selkirk soon. Meanwhile, NS1069 and train U-ELUCXP0-40T had passed Rochelle, Illinois at 07:03 hrs. 1069 being the second unit. It will get to Chicago some point today and the train will become CSX K04X-XX. Patients would be nice word to use today. Especially, how long it took for the VGN to get from N. Dakota to Chicago. Lol.

Have a nice day everybody!

Patients are what the doctor wants. Patience is what you want. There IS a difference!

This is a going to be amazing!!! First off we got the NS 8100 rolling through NY overnight, NS1069 is nearing Chicago, and NOW we got the UP 2002 coming! On train Q364, passed Marion Ohio at 09:50 hours.

UP 2002 on Q364 is in Buffalo. Supposed to be recrewed at 8:15am.

I think they also going to work in the yard. If not well they will work the yards in Rochester NY and Syracuse NY.

Has work at Buffalo, then no work between Buffalo and Selkirk.
