A visitor to the South Coast is on the point as RLHH 595 works upgrade past the Railview Transload facilities at Hagersville. QGRY 6908, RLHH 3404 and RLHH 3049, in elephant style, are in full work mode this morning with a long string of southbound tank cars. The crew will finish their shift upon arrival at Garnet Yard where the locomotives will be refueled and serviced prior to the day crew taking over.

    What time is the SOR operating their trains right now?

    Jacob, the SOR is still running their trains like they always have. Morning order time out of Garnet to go to ESSO and then night run to Paris. Glenn got lucky and caught them running late this morning, they were through Caledonia around 0800 but that isn’t usually the case. It is has been all night runs for the most part the last little while.

    Interesting. This was on GEXR for a long while last year.

    Yeah Kevin, and now it’s on SOR because RLHH 3403 is on GEXR! Gotta love the G&W power shuffle.

    My observation is that both the Nanticoke turn and the Paris turn have been inconsistent these last few days departing later than norm. I sense some wiggle room last two days respecting crew times and Paris turn. This shift may be due,in part, to accommodate track calibration / maintenance equipment. Nonetheless, a real hub of activity at Hagersville 9:00 and south end of Garnet Yard upon its 9:30 arrival. More of the same is OK by me!
