Eastern Railroad Discussion > toledo sub problems

anybody hear about the problems on the toledo sub last night? the AR dispatchers screen in jax wouldn't load up. there was a eastbound fort wayne & eastern train in lima that waited at NS tower for eight hours and never got across. all the crossing gates in lima were down and all the track lights were on. the dispatcher had cut out all the power switches and made them hand throw. there was talk of suspending the signal system, too. was this just limited to lima or was it the whole AR territory?

Just in Lima, and actually limited to just the area around NS tower. Only reports of two CSX crossings effected. Everything was running smoothly from N. Lima nortward and south from Erie Jct.. It was reported to be cleared up by early this morning.
