Thanks. I saw that but no date, just 4 hrs: assume it means 4 hours ago from real time? OK, so it was not routed via St. Louis as others have posted. Minnesota is a bit north of that... Will it come through Chicago after all?

They're still bound for interchange in St. Louis. Tenders were passing through Nebraska earlier. The gap between the two shipments is closing, probably to be routed together for the inbound St. Louis interchange with the TRRA.

I was called about 14:30 and told the Tenders were just west of Hobson yard in Lincoln.
What route was the engine suposed to take?

If it's going to St Louis,most liking through Minneapolis,down the Mississsippee through LaCrosse and Galesburg.

Tenders are going via KC and Springfield to St Louis.  Loco is going via Northtown, La Crosse, Galesburg and Quincy to St Louis.  All 3 are going to the TRRA and NS at St Louis.

Wow, look at that. We got some information and not smart aleck replies.

Thanks

Do you have a tentative time frame? Where was the Locomotive seen last?
As of about 21:30 the Tenders were sitting in Hobson yard near the south fueling tracks.

How are they getting to CSX at Cleveland then? They are being delivered via CSX as I've been told by a member of Midwest in Cleveland which is the organization getting the 2100.

so it will be on the willmar-northtown, then on the northtown-galesburg?? anyone have times on this? dave, out.

There are some clearance issues on CSX in Cleveland that will keep it off that line except for a few hundred feet. Look for the engine to stay NS to Cleveland, CWRO, CSX, MRPS.

2100 has been in Willmar since early morning 4/20 and is still there today.  I do not know what the hold up is.

Times????  This isn't Amtrak, and even Amtrak rarely meets their scheduled times, anyway.

time can be measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years... i hope it's not the last one. :-) dave, out.

OK, let's try and narrow it down for you then: how about between April 24th and September 19th, 2015?

Ya Hotwater,  thats a pretty good S W A G.   Like it.  

Update as of 04.23.2015 @ 2:04 PM EDT.

In any high and wide situation there is a greater potential for the cars to sit in a yard for 48 to 72 hour before being assigned to the next outbound train.   We can only track it with the tools provided to us by the railroad companies and can only estimate its arrival to the next major yard.

Locomotive consist: Assigned to a train heading to Northtown, MN
Tender consist:  Arrived in Lincoln,NE waiting for next train to Kansas City.


Also we have seen some consistent mistakes on who owns what locomotives.   So here is the cheat sheet going forward.
