Comments on: On the fourth day of the Waterloo Central Railway Freight Solutions contract with Lanxess in Elmira, the first run was April 12, 2022. They run 4 days a week including Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. All power being used to switch the plant is on lease from the Waterloo Central Railway, to their for-profit company Waterloo Central Railway Freight Solutions. WCRX 1012 is performing WCRFS’s first switch on the north end of the plant, which is where all the flammable tank cars go. Crewing the train are Conductor Chris Fox (not pictured) and Engineer Matthew Schilling.

@Kevin No CN L566 still needs to come up and serve CCC and Fairway Lumber. As well as leave cars up on the main for WCR to switch out.

Excellent! More revenue for the WCR!

Ok now I really wish they kept 1012/1437 in Zebra. Great shot!

Neat. I had no idea of this arrangement nor company. Does that mean CN doesn’t need to use the line anymore as L566?
