Pretty shot!

John.

Nice shot and film! (Though those insanely tall signals in place of the PLs at Kirk still seem strange!)

If my schedule ever allows, I'd love to try chasing from Ada-Kirk, or even NS-Ada-Kirk-Upper. Was it fairly easy to still catch up to set up shots?

It has been very easy. They have been moving 25mph between Lima and Dunkirk. Then down to 10 at Kirk(I don't know what that slow order consists of, it may just be for the diamond). BUT I heard a CFE crew near Lima on the scanner a little while ago mention that it was supposed to be 40mph all the way to Colsan now. They may have raised speeds today. An inspector was out yesterday...

I just heard the detector near Elida, OH read out 40 mph.

There is also a 66X departing Fort Wayne now on the PRR.

Fantastic pic and vid. Its great to see the former PRR getting some freight traffic again. I remember watching PC trains out of the Ada stations second floor when the model railroad club was up there. Thanks for sharing, Ken

Thanks for posting! Brings back memories of my time (1982-85) at Ada's Ohio Northern University when there were still two tracks & the Broadway roared through town.
