Ski Mask Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 suprisingly I've seen next to no impact on traffic around here. However, most of the industries served here are those whose demand is constant...staple products. Textiles, Lumber, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alabama Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 yeah....several of our favorite spots down here have been empty for quite some time....half of the night (sometimes the whole night) may be wasted trying to find something to paint on...

chester copperpot Posted November 28, 2001 Share Posted November 28, 2001 over here things have been extremely dry since spring. main yards that usually have 12 lines have had a pretty consistant 3 or 4 lines for the last few months, not many holyrollers around like usual. a lot of the layups around town have been empty, and not as many live lines stop anymore. havn't really been able to do too much these past few months. the BN yards dont seem to have been effected like the UP ones though. strange that other cities are suffering as well, all these trains have to be hiding out somewhere, right ? has the west coast, canada, and the east coast been effected like the midwest and south ? ..

T.T Boy Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 out in mid west canada i guess you could say, things are busy as usual, lots of traffic, and lots of new stuiff weve never seen before, lot sof american stuff actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocalfr8tr Posted November 30, 2001 Share Posted November 30, 2001 trains haven't been sticking around as long in northern cali. the railroad is trying to be better business men and get customers their product quicker, plus a lot of the trains are being parker in yards with higher security...i'll take what i can get, though.

Guest BROWNer Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 my local yard is goin' down..other means of transporting goods has slowly beat down the rail company...its only a matter of time till it gets closed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Love_Freights Posted December 3, 2001 Share Posted December 3, 2001 Many of our layups out this way have been empty everytime we go to them and we have to hit one of the major yards in the area. I don't know what it is, but the area is starting to get DRY as fuck. Its annoying, but we still have many places to paint, it just means we have to go a little farther to do them. Oh well...

Fox Mulder Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 the thing i don't understand is they aren't removing trains from service. they are still out there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
