[killer dragonoz]

Love to see P91 or P90 come by in the morning though Sailsbury.

Will be down there Tuesday morning

I think 29G is a auto train.

20	NEW ORLEANS	ALEXANDRIA
118	MACON	LINWOOD
119	LINWOOD	MACON
153	LINWOOD	BIRMINGHAM

The 19 & 20 go between New Orleans and Penn Station in NYC though the do go THROUGH Alexandria.  Or is Alexandria just the limit of your division?

Alexandria is where they come on/off NS.  It is where Amtrak measures NS's performance with the train.

Just like to know if anyone has been inside Linwood Yard in Davision County. 

I've been there three times  a friend and I got to go up into the tower of the yard, you talking about  the coolist thing every.

Also were do you go to take pics?

 

[killer dragonoz]

At least I've got old photos of them

[oltmannd]

I'm from Mocksville NC 15 min's away from linwood yard.

I'd like to know if any one alse has seen the East and West bound Triple Crown roadrailer trains.  

You don't mean 265 and 266, I hope.  They haven't run in years. The current Triple Crown Trains run:

Allentown - Rutherford - Sandusky - Ft Wayne

Detroit - Ft. Wayne

Jacksonville - Atlanta - Ft Wayne

KC - Ft Wayne

Chicago - Ft. Wayne

(some of these have off line extensions)

NS153 has a wide power assortment today. If you here it on you scanner, it might be worth going to see. (6 locos consisting of an SD on the point, two -9s, another SD, ex-conrail -8, and a GP).

[Railfan1]

Thanks.

44A is loaded grain going to Baldwin GA. Runs as needed.

[Railfan1]

I heard 44A for the second time yesterday. Anyone know the info on it?

[oltmannd]

A new one (for me) is P11 which apparently runs from a Toyota facility in Commerce, GA to Atlanta. It actually uses the branch that goes off of the Atl-Wash mainline at Lula. This looks like a cool train: unit autoracks, and it runs right through the streets in Commerce. I am going to do some research to find out when it runs, but so far my "rail sense" indicates that it does Commerce-Atlanta on Fridays, coming into Atlanta late friday afternoon. I have spotted it the last two Fridays holding on the doubletrack south of Norcross while the afternoon northbounds pass by.

It's a 7 day a weeker that gets out of Commerce most days between 4 and 6 PM.

It's an unscheduled grain train from Princton IN to Toccoa GA.

[Railfan1]

Heard a new one today. 42T. Does anyone know it's orgin/destination?

[Railfan1]

Does anyone know how long 90Q will be working the piedmont?

I believe 90Q is handling the tie replacement?

Yeah, that's it.

[CSXDixieLine]

Does anyone know how long 90Q will be working the piedmont?

I believe 90Q is handling the tie replacement? I hear it all the time over the last week or so above Buford, but I can tell you there are stacks of ties along the right-of-way all the way down to Norcross. Jamie

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Nice collection. If you ever see anything of interest heading North, how about giving me a heads up?

Hey sorry I missed this post from you. No problem on the heads up on northbounds. Will let you know what I find whenever I am out shooting video.

FYI I post videos of the NS Piedmont Division Greenville District on my channel page at YouTube:

I have shot many of the trains that you have referenced above. Hope this helps a little.

[Railfan1]

Add 75N to the list. Heard it called out last night.

[Railfan1]

Thanks for the info and the website.

[CSXDixieLine]

Did you check here: http://www.angelfire.com/sc2/nstrains/ 

I don't know how up-to-date this spreadsheet is, but I often use it to cross check the trains I spot on the Piedmont Division between Atlanta and Greenville. Has origin/destination info as well. For example, these seem to be correct since I have spotted them and I have crosschecked railfan photo sites:

NS 211: Croxton, NJ - Atlanta, GA
NS 214: Atlanta, GA - E-Rail, NJ
NS 222: Atlanta, GA - Charlotte, NC
NS 25T: Rutherford, PA - Atlanta, GA
etc.

[CSXDixieLine]

Also, these are not "regulars" but 913 (rail train) and 980 (Ceterpillar heavy equipent) are specials that can often be found on the Piedmont between Atlanta and Greenville.
