CN Q199? I thought was the designation for a CSX train...

The power for the P-Line sits at the service tracks here at Stevens Point

Point is looking good on the route! I'm still working hard and putting in long hours on Bradley to Rhinelander!

Is that one available somewhere? (I have vague memories of it being a private reskin, or otherwise not in circulation ...)

No that one is not. Like one says, I'm sure JR will be coming out with one soon.

C703 sits in Wisconsin Rapids as it waits for a crew to come on board

CSX Q trains are all regular weekday trains for the most part while I belive the CN Q trains are just intermodals I may be wrong though.

A few more screen shots of the route I am currently working on...

Rhinelander Paper Mill is to the left. 4 tracks cross Phillips Street. This would be what is left of the old C&NW mainline that went through town.

End of the line! This would be where the old C&NW mainline ends. Now days, this is where the end of the track is for CN on the end of the paper mill lead track just to the north of the Rhinelander Paper Mill. Note that the tracks are not in that great of shape, but E&LS would sure be proud if they owned it!

It's all part of our cunning plan for world dominance ...

Sulfur loads for the CSX race south on the Chicago Sub with a lashup that at one point, was commonplace along this line. The engineer is no doubt cutting the throttle to allow the hump at MP 137 to slow his train down enough that he can runaway from the rear end when it comes down the south side of the hogback. All to avoid an annoying run-in/possibility of spilling coffee...

 

[WCL]

Nice pic there Steve :Y: And for sure ya cant spill that coffee

 

[WCL]

I think this is train FLO72 the Plover Patrol.....Caught him spotting some wood loads here at the mill

A BNSF loaded Herzog ballast train makes its way south for Junction City as it crosses Lake Du Bay at Knowlton....This train was loaded at the Mathy Ballast pit near Mosinee Wisconsin
