Eastern Railroad Discussion > Lackawanna on NS 65T

HU.com shows the 1074 Lackawanna leading a WB 65T through Payne,OH this morning. What is the destination/routing of this train? Thanks.

I don't know the 65T's destination, but the 866 for Gary with the 1065 leading (or at least, should be leading) was by Colby about an hour behind it.

65T's general destination is Chicago, IL. However, it's empty ethanol, not sure if this is one of those BNSF trains once it hits Chicago.

I just caught #1074 at New haven a few minutes ago, and they turned southwest on the Wabash, so either it's going that way, or it's going to go on the CF&E between Mike and Hill and get back on the NKP, don't know which. I had not seen #1074 since it left the factory at Muncie, so chalk up another one for me. My hot streak continues for one more day.

My guess is the NKP; NS sent a few within the past few days on the NKP. I believe the PC just went west on the former NKP on its trek westward.

Actually, the PC went south on the former NKP (New Castle District) to Bluffton, IN; haven't heard of any movement out of there yet.

65t could head down that way too,hmmm

With NS symbols, it can be hard to tell. Experience with grain trains shows a particular unit-train symbol is not confined to a specific route -- best example being 55A which seems to apply to all empty grain trains departing Loudon, Tenn., regardless of where they're going. So while 65T has gone to Chicago in the past, I have no confidence about its destination today absent specific information.

The 1074 is one of the four my wife still "needs" but I don't think I'll be trying to catch up with it today, especially considering the uncertainty of which way it will go out of Ft Wayne.

The S&A unit just came through on the NKP, but I was unable to photograph. See the above thread for details.
