NS to reopen Debutts Yard hump



"Also optimistically, although NS's network has slowed to a crawl in the south, they've managed to keep snaking the intermodal traffic around the trouble spots for the most part, and between NJ/Harrisburg and Chicago, things are still zooming."

Even though the Crescent Corridor is intermodal oriented, it should mean an improvement of the track infrastructure for all freight.

Jeffrey Smith posted the comment: "NS is Reinstalling everything in there old yard in Chattanooga there putting a Hump tower Retarder Switches and Bowl tracks back in due to the increase in Traffic given to them by CSX last year it has become over barring to the point NS is doing this to help the Bottle neck it has caused this year."

Crescent Corridor

Justin Stickland posted seven photos of cleaning up a derailment and a couple of photos of an Illinois Terminal locomotive rolling by. I spotted at least two covered hoppers on their side. And a Railbox had one end smashed in.

This was the Southern railways terminal, the nc&stl, l&n and central of Georgia used union Station that was sadly demolished in 1974, it was a much larger and more architecturally appealing building.
