ValleyX made a comment about the coal train I mentioned whose crew and engine sat on the train at Grogan Yard in Columbus for eight hours, at least. Valley, if the road can't take the train, bust the call and get the crew off the train and off initial terminal delay, and call it later when the road can take it. Good supervision would have done that. No supervision would have had the situation my friend saw. <br /> <br />I worked on the Sandusky Line after the merger, and I never saw traffic backed up as you mention. There must have been other factors present. Of course, the N&W DID put some supervision in there, and a lot of the ex-Pennsy guys weren't used to it. <br /> <br />Old Timer
