Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS St.Thomas operationsDate: 08/18/04 05:16 NS St.Thomas operations Author: cdn_nsfan A friend from London told me that the NS power from the Buffalo-St.Thomas train doesn't lay over in St.Thomas anymore. Can anyone tell me what the current operating plan is for 327 and 328 ??

327 arrives anywhere from 1100-1400 setting off at Southwold and light power back into town. 328 is ordered around 0400,lifts from Southwold, heads up to London,then eastward to Buffalo. Date: 08/18/04 13:24 Re: NS St.Thomas operations Author: toledopatch How much traffic are these trains handling right now? The 327 and 328 trains I saw last fall in Woodstock had just a handful of high cubes; in fact, one of the 328s was light-engines east. I can't imagine NS could justify such weak business for long, and they've already abolished the 343-344 jobs to/from Detroit, preferring to let CN do the hauling. Does NS have any other crews based in St. Thomas?

But since the shut down and start up I have heard its been like 15 at max and a couple times with like 1, but thats what happens. But on Monday, they brought up the Exhibit Car up to St Thomas and its actually there really early, like almost 2 weeks early for its event.
