Add Deshler to that question. What is the train count there?

Add this for Deshler Q135 and Q136 may still be running also.
Five day a week run through service with BNSF will start around 10-27

Not exactly current, but I was at Fostoria rail park on Friday 8/24 and Saturday 8/25 from basically 630 am to 6 pm...both days...saw...29 trains (19 CSX and 10 NS) on Friday and 40 trains (25 CSX and 15 NS) on Saturday...

Does Q347 go thru one of these locations? Willard-Avon

Q347 has been abolished.

Andrew

Q172, the BNSF symbol would be the QLACCXO, not S.

I heard that it was changed from Q to SLACCXO in the past month or so. Is that wrong? If so I will change it.

You can add to the Deshler count the H761 Toledo Docks- Wapakoneta Ohio turn Tues-Sat.

That is wrong, still a Q.

Thanks

I appreciate these train symbols but cannot for the life of me figure out why NS would route a Bellevue-Chattanooga symbol over the NKP through Fostoria instead of via Columbus.
