Eastern Railroad Discussion > cofc bingo town to Harrisburg

does ns run cofc down the old d&h/dl&w/cp from binghamton ny to Harrisburg? if not which way do they go

Nothing in that corridor that I know of. Now that they own the D&H south of Schenectady, it's plausible they might start handling intermodal between Mechanicville/Ayer and southern points in the future, but I'm unaware of that happening now.

Bingo to Taylor Yd. outside of Scranton.

Plus CP's international containers between Toronto and Port of NJ that are forwarded regularly on 36T/37T between Buffalo and Allentown via Bingo/Scranton.

Neither of which involves Harrisburg, but yes, that represents the intermodal traffic on the ex-DL&W portion of the route south of Binghamton.

Would 22V make the pickup for the CP containers? Bethlehem?

Doesn't 20W make a stop at Bethlehem as required?

22V picks up the Dockside traffic to go east. The 25Z sets off the 37T stacks. The 20W does not work the River that is 20K/294/290. There is also now JB Hunt traffic coming off the PBNE. These are empty containers for repositioning set at a max of 4 cars per day. This traffic may be temporary that is yet to be seen.

Wellll....there have been rare detours of the Buffalo-Allentown trains via Harrisburg and the Sunbury line. And now that I think about this, there were a few double stack train detours between Harrisburg and Buffalo when the last rock slide occurred near Pittsburg. And I think a 22K Chicago-Ayer stack train (or maybe it was the counterpart 23K) detoured this route when NS derailed a train on the NKP at Ripley. But I know these anecdotes aren't really what the OP was asking about. Never mind.  ;-)
