Ed, <br /> <br /> I'm so mad, but I accidentally deleted about a 1,000 word description of every train that works my territory. I had all your questions answered too! [xx(] I'll restart, but I'm only go to answer a few questions for now. <br /> <br /> At St. Elmo we control the UP movements. There is the single main, south controlled siding, and north controlled siding. It is a handy place to make train meets and it's also where I give the UP trains, and where I get trains from the UP. Sometimes the UP dispatcher will call me and ask to make a meet with two of his trains. The trains that come off the UP to Indy are: Q132 auto parts from Mexico to Detroit (Blue Stack train), Q374 (QNLIN on the UP) a freight that goes to Indy. Q234 (AARIN on the UP) works Effingham and picks up Indy bound cars delivered by the CN/IC. We give the Q107 (split off the Q111, and a VERY HOT TRAIN) Q131 (reverse of the q132), Q395 and Q377. If the Q107 is late, the UP will refuse it and we have to take the train to STL where the contrainers and trailers are then trucked to Dallas. <br /> Well that's all the typing I have left in me now, more to come later.
