Re: Fort wayne maps 1898
IINM, the law is now you have to get all living relatives of the deceased to sign-off on the re-interment. That has to be a genealogical nightmare (and intentional roadblock).

Re: GR&I head on near Cadillac MI with Vandalia Car
The Achilles Heel of TimeTable and TrainOrder operations: oops I forgot about that one. Not only did you have to worry about the safe operation of your train, you had to be aware of every other train out there and prepare to run in the "gaps" of the schedule. Even if it was running late. And that is...

Re: GR&I head on near Cadillac MI with Vandalia Car
DOT records started around 1910. So no luck looking for details there.

Re: GR&I Track Work
I know the city has plans to use the former GR&I R/W for a trail, but that is further North of this location.

Re: On the Road (again)
I think I know why we are seeing those BART cars roll through the fort. I saw three of them sitting off Engle Rd at a specialized carrier yard, leading me to believe a Fort Wayne company (or at least an office) is involved in the transportation. IIRC BART is wide gage so no rail operations on standa...

Looks like they had plenty of "help."

Re: BRINCO - Bristol Indiana
Interesting that a new supplier is starting up in that market. PSR touts how fewer cars are needed as they turn faster. The only good thing going for them is timing as a glut of older cars time-out and need replaced. Normally attrition is somewhat balanced, but many were scrapped early thanks to the...

Re: Great News for the Chicago Fort Wayne & Eastern
Do we really know if NS pissed off GM or is this just the end of the existing contract and CF&E won the bid?
-Or- is this all for show to strong-arm NS to drop prices to win the next bid go-around?

Re: Trains seen on NCD!
Something I haven't seen in a while just went by WB: export locomotives from Muncie. They were on 8-axle flatcars and wrapped, so no idea of the paint scheme or gage.

Re: Trains seen on NCD!
An interesting evening on the NCD Fri30Oct2020. I was working in Blackford County and heard 174 and L69 going North around 1030. It was quiet until 1350 when 65H rolled up to the Bluffton Holdout and waited. I thought maybe it was going to the ethanol plant. 200 pulled up behind 65H at 1420. MOW was...
