NS unusual intermodal moves
Posted by MP173 on Thursday, May 3, 2018 4:02 PM

This morning NS had an eastbound 070 train thru Chesterton web cam with 2 NS motors x 70 containers/trailers, mostly UPS.  This is not a regular NS movement.

This afternoon at 320pm there was a westbound 071 intermodal train with 3 CSX motors x 170 containers/trailers with heavy Schneider (26),UPS(40) and Maersk refrigerated 53 ft container (36).  Looked like a CSX intermodal to me...

Was there a derailment on CSX and thus a re-route?

If not, any ideas of what these trains are?
