Title: Train ID help
Post by: ccaranna on March 06, 2006, 01:37:14 PM
Hey everyone,

Just checking to see if anyone recognizes this train and could tell me what the ID is.  I thought maybe it was 688, but I'm not sure.

It was spotted EB on the Sandusky District in Worthington, OH on 2/28 at around 5:45 p.m.  Manifest was all TopGons that appeared to be empty, but I can't assume on this line, as sometimes loads head east, too.

Any help would be appreciated!  

Thanks,

Chuck

688 was a unit train in th e90's that ran from sandersville ga. to birmingham al. back in then. That train is history now. 600 series train omce designated unit train (clay, sulfer, ect.) pre conrail. hope that helps
