Western Railroad Discussion > California Grain TrainsDate: 05/02/10 11:13 California Grain Trains Author: Riffian I'm interested in the routing and approximate frequency of grain trians serving the Central Valley. I assume that trains originate in the Midwest and primarily serve the poultry industry. Any information greatle appreciated.
Date: 05/02/10 12:24 Re: California Grain Trains Author: AlbinaRunThrough About two-three times a week, in the early morning or late evening, the UP Valley Subdivision has a Northbound Empty and/or loaded Grain Train. I have no idea on the symbol, but its nice to see the common power cinsisting of 3 AC4400's!
AJ ~ MP 224.75 UP Valley Subdivision Date: 05/02/10 16:48 Re: California Grain Trains Author: JasonCNW My company sends loaded DDG trains from iowa to a JD Heiskel plant in Pixley.
JC Date: 05/02/10 17:03 Re: California Grain Trains Author: espeeboy Frequency is of course based on demand and unit grain train loading/departure times from various points across the MidWest. There really is no set schedule on running these listed UP grainers and dispatchers don't exactly run them with fast priority.
The following is a "working" list of California Central Valley gain trains I have run across over the years. I'm also sure there are a couple dozen more UP grain train symbols out there I haven;t discovered yet. As you can see, there a lot of different origination symbols from the midwest.: -- Central CA UP Grain Trains: Grain Trains in/around Stockton, CA Area: GLSTST Inbound Grain Loads to Turlock, CA Area: GMGLTU GMLNTU GSCBTU GSEXTU Outbound Grain Empties out of Turlock, CA Area: GETUSG GSSTY5 GSTUCB Inbound Grain Loads to Delhi, CA Area GSCBKE GETUSG GSMEDL GSSNDL GSJMDL GDCRMV Outbound Grain Empties out of Delhi, CA Area: GSDLAN Inbound Grain Loads to Traver, CA Area: GMFCTR GMSBTR GSC4TR GSG5TR GSLXTR GSMITR Outbound Grain Empties out of Traver, CA Area: GMTRSB GSTRCB GMTRLN GSTRME GSTRG5 Inbound Grain Loads to Pixley, CA Area: GBFBPX GDSLPX GMLNPX GSHNPX GSHYPX GSLXPX GSSDPX GSSOPX Outbound Grain Empties out of Pixley, CA Area: GSPXAS GSPXBF GSPXJN GXPXIZ Inbound Grain Loads to Goshen, CA Area: GSCTGH GSG5GH GSMIGH Outbound Grain Empties out of Goshen, CA Area: GSGHCT GXGHIZ GSGHNE GEGHSR Inbound Grain Loads to Famoso, CA Area: GBAUFO GSCTFO GSCBFO GSNBFO Outbound Grain Empties out of Famoso, CA Area: GSFOLF --- Any additions/corrections are welcome!
