CR on the Southern Secondary

Pretty sure they went to Dayton today. Maybe an extra over the weekend to look out for.

Will probably be an SA91 Saturday or an SA93 Sunday.

Edit: Whenever they have to do the whole line with an extra crew they typically show up early in the day.

Not sure what's up with this but front end loader scraped the tracks at freeway trucking. I think someone is marking there territory They are one that encroached on ROW. They have moved one trailer but one remains. that trailer fill a gap in the fence from any vehicles entering.

Many years ago, a friend and I were poking around this area, and straight ahead in the picture above, in a "tunnel of trees" was a Conrail Geep, parked and shut down. It was parked just short of Railroad Ave and where the diamond used to be. A good hiding spot, we didn't see it until we were right on it. Only saw it there once, maybe it was just a temporary parking spot. Maybe used to switch out Gold's Lumber? Another "wish I brought a camera" moment. (Easily 30 years ago, as I was still living in my old house. Been in the new one 27 years)

Seems like encroachers are being told to beat it by the end of the year so they can start sooner rather than later with the reconnection work

Perhaps, but if this was about the encroachment then they’d be clearing where people have their junk on the tracks and where anyone’s property lines are on/near the tracks. Maybe I’ll look into this when SA93 runs...

Gary, That was a regular tie-down spot for many years in the 80s-90s. Saw CR blue there many times as I passed by on Southard Ave.

CSX patched GP15-1 tied down on the Gold Lumber siding.

Did they run down the Southern yesterday? If not they should come today. Woodhaven can only wait so long...

SA-93 bound for the Southern on the amboy at 11:39 AM

CSXT 4405
CSXT 6228

17 Woodhaven & a Bel-Ray

Finally!!!

@trainfann101 Thanks for the heads up.

They have till 8, so this may not be round-trip..

They can if they put the hammer down. Ive seen SA93 get this line done in 5 hours round trip before.

Lined and Locked normal 12:47 PM
