[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by UP_North From what ive been told, the majority of the northbound traffic is for Ford. The southbound traffic is still developing so we shall see what the first southbound looks like this evening. It has been called for 1500 cdt at South St. Paul. [/quote] When I read this the first time I was a little confused by South St Paul and southbound. Around here when you say southbound, you usually mean the spine line to Des Moines. The route in question here is really more east west, even though leaving Chicago it runs mainly north south. I believe UP uses east and west for the old 400 line. I finally realized what is happening. The power for the train is being dispatched from South St Paul at 3 PM, and running light up to East Minneapolis to pick up the train. It is then scheduled to leave at 5:30 PM heading east over the joint BNSF tracks to Westminster St, where it enters UP's Altoona Sub for the trip to Chicago and points east. It sounds like a fun afternoon project to chase this thing. There are a couple of routes the power could take between South St Paul and East Minneapolis. I think I'm starting to foam.[swg] [/quote] Well at least I won't have to get up at 5am and pack sandwiches for this one.[:D][:p][:0][;)]
