Well folks, at 00:58 Eastern Standard Time, about fifteen miles south of Monroeville, the construction effort heading southeast
met the construction effort heading northwest. The two terminals of the Lennoxville and Eastern are now connected!
Here are some recents:
CP #280 cruises through the outskirts of Monroeville as CSX 7376 blasts a crisp RS3L for street after street. #280 is destined for the Belt Line with connections to CSX.
LER extra MA-X throttles up amidst endless corn fields fifteen or so miles south of Monroeville at Fenland.
MA-X at Newton Rd.
South Maitland Rd.
Here is MA-X few miles outside of it's destination of Julianna.
CN L551 with a CN SD60F, IC SD40 combo navigate the Ruskin area of Madison with a transfer to the CSX at Marberry.
In the second shot, CN runs parallel with the NS Dansville Secondary (City District), whilst jacknifing the CP main.
All movements must contact WI Tower before proceeding through interlocking limits no faster than 20per, due to the volatility of the railroad crossing nearby.
LER has been ongoing since late August. The Lakewood Sub is not a project as much as it is just a module that looks nice to place trains on. It is a testbed for the RailNet network if I eve decided to take that further than a handful of boards.
CN runs a autorack transfer between the GM pre-trip yard and CP's 21st Street Yard daily.
Here a C40-8, GT GP40, GP9 combo head light eastbound past Montauk Tower in Madison
where the CN clatters over the former UP Wheaton Branch now run by Central City RailNet.
The transfer, numbered L510, returns through town with around sixty-seventy multi's for CP.
