Eastern Railroad Discussion > An "IC" and snowy morning...Date: 03/17/18 07:06 An "IC" and snowy morning...

He has never seen this railroad as we have tried two previous times this past fall. We got up Conneaut at about 0830. CN MOW was there and as we talked to a CN employee part of the track under the NS former NKP trestle had come out of gauge. They spent about two hours spiking the area to bring it back into specs.

Author: Forever-Railfan-45 On our way home we went by the yard in Shenango and heard Bessemer and Lake Erie 867 getting ready to head south.

What a drastic change in weather from Conneautville, Pa. Have a great weekend all...
