[nbtrainlvr94]

@CSX1123 It is but in the afternoon be ready for some serious lulls the morning is the best time and usually has the better poweer also be on the lookout tomorrow for Q233 as it has SD80MAC 4593 leading I'll be out around Avon tomorrow as well!

Amtrak NEVER comes through Terre Haute. There was only one occurrence of this and that was in the 70's. But on the plus side, Terre Haute is a pretty busy place when it wants to be. It's one of those hit-or-miss areas, but when it's a hit, it's a hit.

I have seen areallly long train that took an hour to pass. It was hauling corn from a co-op in hopper cars to the Texas drought stricken ranches.

[WizardmasterNZ]

Great longest semi-trailers. But other vehicles were waiting for clear the rail.  I think problem with emergency vehicle can't access on the way. They need clear off. Only blame that too longest trailer are fail for urgent a emergency vehicle need way. Do you think ?

WTF!!?!?!? there are like... i counted 88 but you stopped shooting and the train never ended!

Not only that, this train has 3... engines? is that the right term? anyway, im from Israel and the longest train ive ever seen hear has 1 enigne and 8 cars for a passenger train, and for a frieght train the longest ive seen here was 1 engine and 20-30 cars. But thats it!! not a 3 engine and a endless car train. WOW o_O

@nbtrainlvr94 I just got back from avon a few minutes ago it was actually pretty busy. do you have any idea what time Q233 will be around?
