Eastern Railroad Discussion > Conrail type of day at Alliance, OhioDate: 03/27/15 11:55 Conrail type of day at Alliance, Ohio Author: Forever-Railfan-45 Dog sitting for coworker at work Thursday thru Sunday ; husband's uncle passed away in Wisconsin. Had to run back to home in Canton for some things I forgot to pack Thursday night so thought I would take back way to Alliance to see if anything worthwhile coming. Turns out I was not disappointed. First up is the Z6W with NS power just down from Arch Street on the Cleveland Single Line; more commonly referred to the Bayard Line as it goes down to Bayard, Ohio, second and third picture are of the 66W with CSX power with CSX 8739 (former Conrail SD60I/M) leading. How ironic that a former Conrail now with CSX would be leading an oil train down the Cleveland single...passing the former PRR signals...

Picture number four is the 18A, number five is the 14K then we have the 16E with the 8098 leading. Nice day just wish there was more sun...enjoy your weekend all.

Date: 03/27/15 14:13 Re: Conrail type of day at Alliance, Ohio Author: Poker2662 Nice catches and photos Carl. That SD60I in CSX YN2 paint is just about as rare as the NS Conrail heritage unit.
Date: 03/27/15 15:06 Re: Conrail type of day at Alliance, Ohio Author: CSXT_8437 That is cab signal territory as well, correct? Also, does the Bayard Line run via Mingo Jct to Rochester where it rejoins the Fort Wayne Line?
Thank you in adavance. Date: 03/27/15 15:55 Re: Conrail type of day at Alliance, Ohio Author: Forever-Railfan-45 Cab signals not needed down the Cleveland Single line (Bayard) and from Mansfield to Alliance seems like cab signals are not needed as well. NS has run quite a bit of foreign power leaders on the oil trains as well as some freights too: BNSF/CN/CP/FXE and etc. And yes I believe it runs to Mingo then crosses back.

CSS Picks back up on the Pittsburgh line at CP Solomon or CP Wing, depending which way you go through town....Pittsburgh Line or Mon Line. CSS from CP Kiski to Conpit on the Conemaugh Line.

Brian Stevens Date: 03/28/15 01:43 Re: Conrail type of day at Alliance, Ohio Author: rwt_rave_1225 No cab signals west of Alliance on the Fort Wayne Line and also none east of Alliance on the Cleveland (Bayard) Line. It makes for an excellent routing for these oil trains. They can dodge a cab signal leader all the way until Conway now.
