Eastern Railroad Discussion > Big 4 Columbus to ClevelandDate: 01/11/17 18:24 Big 4 Columbus to Cleveland Author: cabsignaldrop More specifically between Galion and Columbus. How much traffic runs this way? It had been moderately busy until the Conrail split but I haven't been up that way in years. Thanks for any info.

Q022 and Q123 utilize the line, but other than that, only occasional coal and grain trains, plus the local to the Anheuser-Busch brewery near Worthington.

Joe Tarantine Date: 01/12/17 07:04 Re: Big 4 Columbus to Cleveland Author: MEKoch Anything marginal on CSX is available at the right price, which is too bad. CSX and other railroads cannot seem to take the long view of railroading, which requires patience during economic downturns. Instead they listen to the screamers on Wall St. who want profits at any cost.

Posted from iPhone Date: 01/12/17 08:21 Re: Big 4 Columbus to Cleveland Author: BCHellman So basically most Big Four traffic from Berea leaves the Big Four at Greenwich?

Other than traffic heading for Marysville Cincinnati Indianpolis and points west. Posted from iPhone Date: 01/12/17 17:49 Re: Big 4 Columbus to Cleveland Author: halfmoonharold I lived near the Columbus Line in the early '90's. Here is what ran daily then: TV-5, TV-6, MAIL-3H, MAIL-4, COPI, PICO, COBU, BUCO, COSE, SECO, COHY, HYCO, YSCO-39. Plus whatever coal or grain. Some of the symbols changed, COLT replaced COHY, for example.
