With the collision near Cincinnati the other day; this makes three sizable accidents on NS in less than a week. Posted from iPhone Date: 10/09/19 18:43 Re: NS Derailment in Georgia Author: MdRailfan If I recall correctly CSX had multiple derailments shortly after PSR was implemented. I hope NS didn't get rid of their track maintenance people like CSX did.

Posted from iPhone Date: 10/09/19 22:45 Re: NS Derailment in Georgia Author: DocJohn Within the past year, line got new CWR. Also, there is a spring switch on the xouth end of the Mossy passing siding. Siding paralles GA 247, and junction with US 341 is just south of the siding.
John Date: 10/10/19 09:21 Re: NS Derailment in Georgia Author: Dewman45 You will see NS detours through Folkston, Ga.
Date: 10/10/19 09:50 Re: NS Derailment in Georgia Author: DocJohn What routing? Via the connection at Jessup?
John Date: 10/10/19 14:00 Re: NS Derailment in Georgia Author: ctillnc I suppose they could do it at Jesup, although the connecting track there probably isn't in the best of condition. The alternative is via Savannah at Central Jct.
Date: 10/10/19 14:27 Re: NS Derailment in Georgia Author: ShortlinesUSA More than likely high priority intermodals getting on CSX in Atlanta and then south via Manchester and Waycross, GA.
Posted from Android Date: 10/10/19 16:11 Re: NS Derailment in Georgia Author: ctillnc Yes, that makes the most sense if CSX can accommodate the additional traffic Atlanta-Manchester-Waycross-Folkston.
Date: 10/10/19 16:12 Re: NS Derailment in Georgia Author: Dewman45 One other option is get on the Heart of Georgia (HOG) in Cordele then get back on the NS in McRe then head for Macon they would not have to run around there train in Cordele. Plus the connecting track in Jessup has been paved over at the Amtrak Station

Just drove by Racepond in between Waycross and folkston and there was a NS intermodal train waiting with mostly EMP containers. Didn't get the number though. It was pretty weird seeing it on CSX tracks
