CSX FAN posted:superwarp1 posted:WMSRR has stated as some have suspected that the tracks leading to the turntable will have to be re-aligned for 1309. It was also stated WMSRR does not own the tracks but the county I think does. Any word on when this will be rectified?
Not that I know about, but they are doing other track repairs. The issue could be repaired in days at most.
Not in my opinion. The track/grade approaching the turntable is around 3%, with a sharp curve. Even the big 2-8-0 #734 would "crash" onto the turntable as it came off the steep ascending grade, and one could really feel it in the cab.
so one thing at a time? Get 1309 running first then worry about the table.
Well, it really is NOT the "table" but the approach to the "table".
