Nope just the power river coal trains to Coffeen(70E's) and a few trains to Monterey back to Taylorville, IL or STL(NS 430) and one to Mt. Carmel, IL. (NS 427)
Poor 502, sitting for at least 6 hours? I hear dynamics! Cool angle, I like this location a lot. Did you hear that commotion today around 6 o'clock? Apparently some train got in trouble for stopping somewhere it shouldn't have, it tied up traffic and dispatcher got heated up, I never heard him yell before!
I'm not sure, but it took him like 20 minutes to go from CP Leisey to CP Cumru (2 miles?), dispatcher got mad so he took the signal away from him and ran the other trains.
COAL TRAIN and ELEPHANT STYLE!!!!
Which, NS 502 is loads or empties?
Great video, add-favorite, and 5 rate, Zach!

Yeah I felt bad for 502, I bet that engine will go to the shops and get fixed up, does 502 come past your way?
