The Fort Wayne Railfan

Were there ever any historic derailments of road railer trains? Don't know that I ever heard of any. More of a crash than a derailment, but on March 25, 1998, a southbound NS road-railer on the Huntington District collided with an eastbound fConrail train at Butler crossing. The NS conductor was ki...

Went out tonight and there was a lot of work going on. I was going to walk up to the Scott Rd. crossing (road is closed) to take pictures, but a Ft. Wayne police officer was sitting at the crossing. The second intermediate signal was up between Scott and W. Hamilton Roads. They were working on the n...

New additions.

Update on the track work.

I'm having problems, also, but I dunno if it is because of the new Windows Media Player 11. It was fine on WMP 10. Didn't think I need a new codec or anything.

I think those blades are located on County Road 1200 S, south of Romney. (Greg, correct me if I'm wrong) I believe there is a small train museum just south of there in the town of Linden. There used to be another line that ran East/West and crossed the Monon line there; no idea what line that was. N...

Those pictures of the CSX train and semaphores bring back memories of going to Purdue. I was part of the Railroad Club there, and we definitely spent a lot of time around those areas and others. Another thanks for those pics.

Does anyone have any info about what was going on at NE interlocking around noon today? I was driving through there and as I turned off Lincoln Highway onto Hartzell, both crossing signals were activated on the Chicago and Huntington crossings, but no trains and a ton of NS crews working on/around t...

ah..i see what i was doing wrong. i was inputting the wrong address. Under the Listen Live! section of the website, it has an old link (http://fwaudio.dyndns.net:8000). That needed to be .org. i was baffled why it never worked!

Would you mind sharing your secret on getting it to work? I am having the same issue as well.

I was roaming through on Nelson Rd earlier this evening and noticed on the northeast side of the Industrial Track crossing are a few pairs of crossing signals laying around. Anyone have an idea of where these might be placed? Or are they there waiting to be moved somewhere else? If they stayed in th...

yeah, that was the same error i got the other day. but it seems to be working fine now. i did listen to it quite a bit before with no problems (minus the router freezing up), but haven't listened too much lately. hopefully when i get FiOS i will be listening a lot more. thanks Greg for working on th...

i just tried to listen to the audio feed and I got an error message. the page says it's up and public.

great find! that was hilarious!

i drove across the crossing this evening, and the overhead flashers were lying on the sides of the road. the signals in the median didn't have the gates attached either. and as Hotbox said previously, bags are covering the new flashers.
