This is my first update from my Blackberry device. I wonder how this will turn out on my site. Its funny how technology will allow me to up date up website while sitting in on a very boring meeting. That is besides the the point. On to some train talk!

Yesterday on the way home, I came across a NS coal train, kind of. BNSF must have a coal contract somewhere on NS. This unit coal train has an ex-Conrail SD60i with two BN SD70mac's in run 8 trying to lift these cars up from the ex- NYC Water level route. Th

Well it's offical, the Ohio CentraL Railroad had sold its F9 units 6313 and 6307 to CP Rail. Also report, CP has purchased 9 passenger cars. Since the OC has not really ran passenger specials on an reocurring basic, these assets are just idle items in a world where your worth is figured by how much you make, not take away. Add in the cost to insure this equipment and folks who rides in them, you are looking at a big bill. I guess Jerry had his fun with his verison of running PRR passenger trains. Just as long as the OC keeps it steam engines, we are cool.

Finally, spring is here, well kind of. It is still cold and they say it might snow some today and maybe into the night some. Hopefully, this will be the last of old man winter until the next snow season.

Some updates that I know about. BNSF is getting some SD70ace's. For months now, it has been a rumor that BNSF would go to the new EMD for locomotives. That has finally happened. I am not really sure how many are expected, but I think it is in the range of 75 units. MRL has all of their 70's working hard out there in Montana.

The website is still not up to date. I am not even sure when the last update was made with new content. That will soon change, thanks to the weather.

I am looking forward to the NHRS show this year that will be hosted by the Ohio Central. There seems that details are still in the works. Hopefully, they will post some information soon.

Due to the amount of project currently underway in my personal life and business and crappy weather, I have not update my blog or website.

Updates will soon come........
