765 out and about this year

:mrgreen:

I don't think the itinerary is set as of yet. Ironically, the local trainmasters sometimes know about the deadhead moves before word makes it to 765...

Railroad employees are still the best "go to" people for answers..Last summer I was told the "brass will be rolling through next Tuesday(I forgot the exact day) around 9 o'clock"..Sure enough the business train rolled through on its way toward Conway.

I'm sure that wasn't on any train sheet that far in advance.Even when I worked on the railroad we knew ahead of time of special moves.

I'll never forget the time the conductor said "Larry,we will meet the steam train and the Ashand Steel train(I forget the train number) at Garrison"..I knew the 614 was due out of Cincinnati but,never expected to meet it in Garrison.
