Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS 4000 and 4001?

Last report was at Charlottesville, VA last night @ 7:11 P.M. Heading north... Does anyone know the train symbol there on, and anyone know where there at now? TIA!

They've been on the Belews Creek NC to Bailey Mine PA coal trains for a while.  Don't recall the sysmbol, maybe 727?

The 4000 and 4001 have not been to Bailey Mine unless they made their first trip from there or that just started. They've mostly been running between Roanoke and Belews Creek. When they were split up for a while last month one of them came up to Ohio on a grain train and the other was on a mixed freight farther east, but then they were put back together and back onto the Roanoke-Belews Creek run.

So, does anyone know what train they were headed north on last night?

Thanks,

They weren't anywhere other than Roanoke Shops.They've been there for days.One or both may escape today on a 756 load for Belews if they get them fixed in time.

In other words........they are still in captive service folks.......

So is the Charlotsville spot a bad spot?
