Ah ha!

There was a derailment over at Toledo. The 21B might have been a 21E.

That would make sense.

Not new, but derailment detours, I think.

26N is a Chicago to Columbus train normally via Elkhart

There is no 21B, but 21E is Croxton to Chicago via Elkhart

Two new NS trains today

Posted by MP173 on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 10:09 PM

The NS Chicago - Fort Wayne line had two new trains today, or at least hadnt heard of:

I60N ... a stack train. The I indicates an extra section of an intermodal.
21B ... an eastbound

I didnt see either one.

Any ideas of origin/destination, etc?
