OMG!!!!!!!!!! Over in the VTR railfan facebook pages they are going after anyone posting any info about these moves. Top secret stuff i guess. One guy said you cant hide a train. Had to laugh at that one.
You're referring to at least the "photographic history" photo/video page that asked folks not to make speculative posts, while the OP/mod wrote directly in the comments that photos of the detour trains themselves were fine. This came after they were apparently contacted by VTR personnel, assuming someone much higher up.
Some of these pages are starting to follow the same formula: Instead of a single post asking if/stating that a train has passed XYZ location today, you've got dozens of kids/foamers asking "are they gonna send XYZ unit with the train?", "what's the power?" a dozen asking, "where is the train?", and with this tunnel issue, "how long will they run these detours?"
What happened to simply driving along the tracks and accidentally stumbling upon a moving freight?
