Eastern Railroad Discussion > CSX Q373 w/ F7s questionDate: 12/03/16 10:44 CSX Q373 w/ F7s question Author: eastpenn23 Anyone know when Q373 departs Philly this evening with the two F units?
Thanks Jake Date: 12/03/16 11:52 Re: CSX Q373 w/ F7s question Author: JayK A Fb post, by a reliable source, states they will be dropped off and then picked up at Wilsmere by Q301. No time given.
Posted from Android Date: 12/03/16 17:06 Re: CSX Q373 w/ F7s question Author: JLinDE There was only one, the 576, facing East. Sub-lettered SLRG which is the San Luis & Rio Grande based in Alamosa, CO. Do not understand why setoff when Q373 goes to Cumberland with several ways to get to UP and BNSF. Q301 goes to Rocky Mount, so do not understand routing. Based on my ride thru Alamosa and esp Antonito last summer SLRG is quite busy.

Tomorrow it will head to NC with Q301 Posted from iPhone Date: 12/03/16 19:08 Re: CSX Q373 w/ F7s question Author: JLinDE eastpenn, do you know why it is going to NC? Direct routing to CO and SLRG would have it stay on q373......

Date: 12/04/16 09:26 Re: CSX Q373 w/ F7s question Author: JayK Per Fb group: F unit is on Q301 in Baltimore as of 1145 AM. A train truck collision on the Capital Sub has the railroad shut down at the moment.
Posted from Android Date: 12/05/16 09:49 Re: CSX Q373 w/ F7s question Author: bigjim4life The SLRG reporting marks are what's used by Iowa Pacific - which owns roughly a billion railroads in the US (I know, I'm exaggerating) - they own the Piedmont and Northern, and that's where these engines are going. But because they use the SLRG reporting marks for all of their movements (at least their freight movements, I believe), it's understandable where the confusion may be.
