[quote user="ValleyX"] CF&E seems to depend on grain, primarily, for their on-line traffic base.  They also run a train to and from Chicago, crew goes up one day and comes back the next.  For awhile, they were running a daily train each way between Chicago and Fort Wayne but business has fallen off to the present operation.  Occasionally, they run a grain train from Hamlet, IN, to Crestline, OH, where it is handed off to CSX, usually this train will have CSX power.  They also have the former GR&I branch, remnant, between Fort Wayne and Decatur, IN, site of another large grain operation. There's at least one yard job at Fort Wayne and another at Lima, a job that goes from Fort Wayne to Lima daily, I think, another that goes west toward at least Warsaw, IN. NS maintains its trackage rights and has started operating, from all appearances, at least one westbound daily west of Fort Wayne, almost always an intermodal train and usually its train 235, but not always.  Upgrades coming east of Fort Wayne with a connection track being built at Bucyrus, OH, to facilitate moves between the CF&E and the NS Sandusky District toward Columbus, as part of the NS Heartland Corridor project.  NS will operate via trackage rights, rumored to start up next year sometime. [/quote] Unless it's changed ownership, that grain operation in Decatur is Central Soya.  Oh to see those grimey black PC engines crawling across Jefferson St. again!  The memories... [sigh]
