[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by MP173</i> <br /><br />I am further west of Ft Wayne, near Valpo. It sure would make sense for NS to run on the Pennsy. Evening on the NS gets a little interesting around 9pm as the following eastbounds are a running: <br /> <br />262 - TC <br />215 - Jacksonville Intermodal <br />236 - Norfolk Intermodal <br />175 - Knoxville carload train <br /> <br />It is not uncommon for those to all be running east within one hour of each other. Throw in a westbound coal train or two and perhaps 307 and you have a pretty busy railroad. <br /> <br />How does the NS send it's New Castle trains thru Ft. Wayne? Do they switch over to the PRR and then to New Castle line? <br /> <br />Also, do you have a current list of NS symbols running to Chicago. My list is from the Sept 97 Trains issue and I know things changed after the Conrail merger. <br /> <br />ed <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thats a nice part of the state over there, my mom was originally from Wasaw, And I fondly recall all the lakes out that way. <br /> <br />Wish I could answer you questions, but I haven't fallen quite that far "in" (yet) [:D] I haven't started the 'time table" bit yet, except for mental notes based upon what I've observed. I'm more at the 'impressed by big machines' phase of it, with the core interest that maintains my curiousity being a fascination with "rust belt" America, i love exploring dormant sidings with big vacant brick industrial buildings that were formerly "big" industry... With the economy the way it is in Indiana right now,and this warped interest ,I seem to be on the forefront of a "growth" hobby , unfortunately. <br /> <br />Hopefully someone else can answer your question. I'm still stuck on trying to figure out what "milepost 319" just outside of Piqua yard is '319 miles' from...[;)]
