 by multimodal ¦  Sun Apr 15, 2018 6:17 pm ¦  Forum: Norfolk Southern ¦  Topic: Loading site in Kansas City area ¦  Replies: 0 ¦  Views: 3290

Seeking suggestions for a loading site on NS in the KCMO area. Preferably the location has some type of heavy lift equipment(crane, straddle crane, HEAVY forklift, intermodal pick, etc.) for 6 month project.

500-1000 feet of track with adjacent road for 200 feet.

Re: NJ Transit missing in action

Had I and a few other fools been the only folks in New York Penn awaiting some word from NJT, then the above comments may apply. The fact is that on Sunday there were several hundred passengers who shared the same uninformed state. The contention is simple. New Jersey Transit should have had a spoke...

Re: Amtrak profits form storm

My hat is off to Amtrak for operating as it did. But, these facts remain. The cost of a NJT senior ticket to Newark NJ is $2.75. The Amtrak rate is $25.50. The fare for a regular NJT ticket is $5.50 vs. Amtrak of $50+. All of the reasoning above accepted, in the transportation emergency of Jan. 23 &...

Have no intention of letting this lie. I understand NJT's situation on Saturday. What I do not understand is its actions or lack thereof on Sunday. Saturday night the media reported that NJT would begin operations at 7am on Sunday. I was at Hoboken at that time and was told by a snow shoveler that i...

As above, where I was the forecast was for 6"-8" of snow in the NYC area - not enough to be concerned about, and certainly Amtrak operated a nearly full week-end schedule. NJ Transit did not - neither rail or bus - leaving Amtrak the only choice. Unless Amtrak's supporters can show that ea...

Agree with everything said - but they all avoid the emergency situation. I know why the fare is what it is ($25 was the senior rate), but there are ways, such as stand-by, to handle such anomalies. The simple fact is that one government bureaucracy could/would not assist the citizens of NJ when the ...

I arrived New York Penn at Noon on Saturday, Jan 23, to find that NJTransit had suspended all operations including the train to my destination. Quickly I walked to 33rd Street PATH and went to Hoboken to find a similar situation and no taxis. Returning to NYP the situation remained unchanged with Am...

Has anyone knowledge of the track (either NS or CSX) in the Dunkirk NY area, and, if so, could you recommend one with about 1,000 feet of track with about 40' of space parallel to it?

Will someone provide a summary of the current situation for the M&B v PanAm.

Additionally, what is the interchange between the two, how often, 263 or 286, and any height restrictions.

Returning to the topic -

Does anyone seriously think that either CSX or NS is healthy enough to go after UP or BNSF? If not, what are the two Eastern Class I's to do?

Tangentially, what is a good rate of return on a $5 billion investment?

Consider this thought line - NS (and CSX) are still recovering from the rate of returnless Conrail takeover in which the most valuable asset, the monopoly, was squandered. As a result both are now sitting awaiting an invitation from a Western cowboy to do the two-step. How does one avoid the inevita...

CSX freight service between Poughkeepsie and Bronx?

Does CSX serve shippers, if any, located on Metro-North south of Poukipsie? If so, how and how often? Is there a daily local and/or does the railroad switch using the late night trains?
