I've read that NS RoadRailer Trains will become no more soon, from what I read here, http://www.trainorders.com/dis...?2,3615118,nodelay=1 & http://www.trainorders.com/dis...n/read.php?2,3564851 Someone mentions February, but do ask here, does anybody know if this will happen? If it does, I defientely want to see I could see one more go by before the RoadRailer Train goes away.

Several NS people around Fort Wayne have said the end is near. The equipment is 30+ years old. The way to go now is in containers. The Triple Crowns are a great train to chase screaming east out of Fort Wayne on the Nickel Plate at 60MPH (was 70). Quiet, smooth, fast. Usually only one unit on the train. Sometimes 160 trailers.
THERE IS A ROADRAILER YARD IN SANDUSKY OHIO ON OLD RAILROAD ROAD. YOU CAN WATCH THE FORK LIFT PICK UP THE TRIPPLE CROWN TRAILERS, PUT TRUCKS UNDER THEM AND MAKE UP SOME VERY LONG TRAINS. HATE TO SEE THAT GO AWAY AS YOU CAN BE AS CLOSE AS 20 YARDS AWAY FROM THEM
