Eastern Railroad Discussion > Any CSX Q090 sightings/reports today?

Clear skies here in Ohio, a rarity for this time of year, so hunting could be productive....

Train shows by Chicago, Milepost DD2 at 11AM.

That explains why I didn't see it in the Deshler-Defiance area this morning....

Hey patch I know this is off the subject, but where you in Fostoria yesterday around 2pm by the old abandon Grey building on I think Town Street? There was a guy taking pics of engine CSXT 9047. I thought that might have been you.

That would make nice sweet light shots... Cromwell, IN BI153 right now... Garrett approach...

As the actual times posted to this thread demonstrate, the "train schedules" in bullsheet.com (and elsewhere) are approximations. The Q090 can and does run ahead of schedule; I'm confident the train that left Chicago yesterday morning was "threw" Cleveland well before 0100 today. Some weeks ago, it was east of Willard at daybreak on Sunday.

That's where' sightings come in handy. If it actually ran strictly according to schedule, I wouldn't be looking for it in Ohio at all, because it would be well after dark or poorly lit for its entire run across the state.

ARVD between 0730 and 1400/11
