Q216 e/b on New Castle Sub
Author: agrafton

Yesterday I was able to catch the Q216 leaving Lordstown after dropping some autoracks for the GM plant that makes the Chevy Cruze.
You will note the brief view of the LTEX yard with the CSX and NS engines along with many other rail carriers. I will have a flight
of the LTEX Yard later.

Nice video. Does Q216 carry stacks all the time? I thought he was a pure rack train? Where does he pick them up and set them off?

Thanks Bruce

Thanks

Anymore on the New Castle Sub so many trains are now mixed freight Auto racks empty hoppers, coal and coke, gondolas and
basically anything goes. The 216 use to be all auto racks

In the EHH era Q216 started carrying double stacks. It can be a good long train. As for origin and destination of stacks, I do not know.
