Eastern Railroad Discussion > Car Routing Help on NS

Yesterday I went out to get my son from Karate and noticed that there was to be a three way meet in Flowery Branch, GA between Grif (MP592.3) & Allen (MP 594.8), of two south bounds and a northbound. The northbound rolled into town first, but what was most interesting about this train, which I didn't catch it's ID, was that 4 of its first 5 cars were H&W loads. Attached are cars two, three & five of the train. Somewhere on NS, DTTX #765931, a Gunderson 3 x 53' well car set, got damaged and is headed north on three ITTX 89's flats. I know TTX has or at least had a major shop in Jacksonville, FL, so I was surprised to see these cars. While I shot these images at 5:15 pm, I had to later go through town and noticed that at 9:25 pm last night this train was still stopped just short of the Radford Rd. crossing in Flowery Branch.

Can someone, who has the appropriate access, send me a PM as to where these cars are way-billed to for repairs?

One more set of images to follow.

Thanks,

The first car in the NB was also of interest as well, as it was a UP MOW Flat loaded with a piece of rail equipment from Plasser, headed away from UP. The first southbound, which I believe was 203 was led by a UP SD70ACe, but had a D.I.T. UP C45AH (ES44AH) #8189 third out. On the both trucks at each axle it was noted in chalk that the air ducts were torn.

If anyone could also forward me a PM with the destination of the UP MOW flat, I'd appreciate it.

TTXs probably going to Linwood and on to TTX at Hamburg SC, outside of Augusta GA.

This train 154 passed through Charlotte, NC this afternoon 4/22/18. So it took three days to go about 200 miles. Way to move the freight NS. The operations on the Piedmont Division are almost at a standstill.
