Its almost that time of year again, any word on when the Stone Trains will start running again?

When it stays above freezing. The trains have been freezing up even in Georgia.

I just came up with the thought of 271,270, and 261 ( All in the new colors) pulling the stone train.lirr415 P.S. Is 261 now in line for repainting yet? :-D

Nope. Last I heard it is supposed to be 1 engine repainted per year. We filled 07's quota already, but anything is possible. I spoke to "el presidente' and hinted to him to paint the 268 first. That is a really ratty looking engine. He said he will consider that one next, when?, anybodys guess!

It also depends on which one breaks down first. The 261 would have been my first choice. Tired of the tint of degreaser yellow on the sides. Scrap the 155 sounded nice with the new injectors today.

Yeah, it definitely sounded better. It also has new blowers installed, that would change the sound of the engine a bit. Did pretty well on the "shakedown" run. Hopefully now, the 155 will not spit oil on us all.

Stone Trains? LIRR will be sending out about 20 ballast cars on Tuesday for loading. P&W will be coming in Light Monday night and leaving with the LIRR empties. P&W scheduled to return Thursday with the loads. This should mark the official beginning of "stone season!"

raw cold, our lanterns blew off the engine!

No P&W tonight. Apparently the quarry track is OOS for some reason or another

Is the season upon us yet ????

 #393747  by DogBert
 
I haven't paid much attention but yeah, I'd say it is. I believe there have been a few in april... not sure if that was all for the lirr or not...
