I haven`t seen any dp used in roanoke . They may use it somewhere else on the system . RON
Semper Vaporo Has anybody had the patience to count the number of cars in some of the long trains that run though the hotel camera scene. As slow as some of them go I just don't have an attention span long enough to count them (My daughter says it is because I am so poor that I can't even pay attention! ) No, but I suspect the returning empties come close to 200 cars (given a fifty foot coal car that wold be near 10,000 fee)t. Some head west with seven locomotives on the head end but I think only a few of them would be online. NS also runs some pretty long coal drags eastbound toward Norfolk but I've yet to see distributed power on any of them. Makes me wonder if NS uses DP or if the line from Roanoke to Norfolk is flat enough they don't need that. Does anyone know if NS uses DP? I've not yet seen it if they do.

No , Jim , the van was towed before the camera went down . RON
Saw 6 engines work a train back and forth a couple hours ago. Last I saw of it, it backed west as far as I could see. Tried the other cam, but it didn't work. Well, at least this seems to be doing well {now}.
Quentin
you haven't been watching enough! It went away 5 days ago. Look back in this thread at page 43.
When the cam went bang ~~ did someone Hijack the mystery white van???

Thanks for the mention.....Does that mean it would be passing this location that date....?
Well , if one had to go down i am glad it is the museum cam . RON
Now this cam comes up and the other one goes down.

It looks like the trains went off line with the cam . Please bring them back . RON
Cancel my reservations at the place with the padded rooms, and tell the tailor to forget the extra long-sleeved jacket he can go work on something else.
Nice to see the cam operational again. I noticed the cones: time will tell I guess why they are there.

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY , my addiction is once more satisfied .A lot of dump trucks rolling through the parking lot . You mentioned the traffic cones , my guess is they are getting ready to celebrate the web cam coming back on line . They are preparing for the massive amount of traffic for the celebration . RON
There are traffic cones across the street now. I wonder what they're doing there.
As of 1:27 PM EST WEB CAM is up and running

It shows that all they care about is the money , not the ones who made it possible for them to print and sell the magazine . Poor way to run a business . RON
The last time this happened I sent an e-mail to Jim Wrinn asking him to be an advocate for us and look into the problem. I have been a subscriber to Trains Magazine for 50 years and had never before ever written a letter to them for any reason.
I thought perhaps he just might try to be of some help in resolving the problem even though I know Trains has NO connection with the folks that run this cam. However, I thought I'd give it a try, after being a subscriber for half a century I figure Trains might just show a modicum of graditude for my loyaltty to them.
NO, it didn't happen. Mr. Wrinn never even responded to my e-mail. Not even to tell me he could not help. Ir was as if I never even sent him anything at all! I was, and still am, *** off at his lack of courtesy. So, if anybody even thinks of asking for any help from him - DON'T! I considered his ignoring of my e-mail VERY discourtious, and insulting.
