Customer Bulletin UPDATE- StL&H; Toronto & Montreal
Christian Base
Customer Bulletin UPDATE- StL&H; Toronto & Montreal
The following is intended to provide updated information on situation(s) impacting traffic moving through, to and from the identified corridor. While it provides an accurate overall account of the current situation, we caution that some shippers may be experiencing service somewhat different from what is described in this report. SERVICE AREA REPORTS St Lawrence & Hudson (StLH) Service Area, Montreal PQ- Chicago IL UPDATE TORONTO YARD HUMP On Sunday March 12, 2000 we resumed normal hump operations at our Toronto Yard, completing the majority of improvements at this facility. For the past 4 weeks we had not been able to hump dangerous commodities at Toronto yard. Our work, conducted in concert with Transport Canada, allows for the safe handling of all commodities over our Toronto Yard Hump and removes a large operational constraint over the past 4 weeks. Work will continue to ensure we operate a safe and efficient hump operations at Toronto. Over the last few weeks you may have experienced delays to your shipments in and around the Toronto area, however as a result of the resumption of all hump operations, service should return to normal operations. (This does apply to Intermodal traffic) St Lawrence & Hudson (StLH) Service Area, Montreal PQ to Philadelphia, Harrisburg & Washington We are currently experiencing some congestion in our yard facilities in this service area as a result of large traffic volumes, a couple of minor derailments, which are cleared up, and service delays to and from connecting carriers. This is mainly impacting our Manifest traffic moving through this area resulting in delays of 24-48 hours on shipments. We expect this congestion to be cleared by the end of this week with the resumption of normal operations by the weekend. We are also experiencing similar delays on some traffic moving through Montreal St Luc yard as a result of problems in this corridor. It is very difficult to predict the exact delays shipments may receive. This does not apply to Intermodal traffic. ===== ________________________________________________________________________ Christian Base Richmond Hill ON Canada MP 18.7, CN Bala Sub Owner: __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Timebooks
To All at C-P-R@onelist
At the begining of March, the Canadian Pacific "East-West Corridor" -Time Table No.1, and the July 98' version of the General operating Instructions, were superceded. Apparently, there is discussion as to their disposal. Recycling has been considered. I hate to see these end up in the garbage, and I hate to see them turned into someones commercial venture. (You know my feelings about free information..Heh) I have a limited number of copies, for now, and if anyone would like one, you are welcome to send me your postal address and I will send out as many as I can get my hands on. Please consider that I may either run out of copies, or funds for mailing them, (I think they weigh about a pound and GOI weighs more) so I say "limited number". Also consider that misuse of the information in them, would hearten all of us, and probably curtail further free stuff. It's first come first serve.

CPR advertisement sketches
Currently on eBay there are a couple of concept sketches for a CP
advertisement, ca 1962, wherein all the different aspects of CP are illustrated. I have no connection whatsoever with the selling of these things. But simply came across them and thought them sufficiently interesting that others here might want to have a look. They can be found at ¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§¡§ Gerry Burridge - PO Box 152 - Pte.Claire-Dorval, Que. - H9R 4N9 - CANADA << Be brave.

Is there an original posting of the E&N somewhere though as it just does not look like the same green that I recall, thought there was much more of the green as I once recalled???

764 tonnage on Mtn Sub
Jim Johnston
Hi Bob:
Thanks for the clarification. Very interesting. I'd wondered if making a train Locotrol in Revelstoke was even feasible. It makes sense now that you've explained that the train was in Locotrol mode right out of Coquitlam. Methinks you predicted correctly about the train running conventional south of Golden on the Windermere Sub. I see the trace page shows all four units arriving Golden but only one CP and the two UP's are shown arriving Cranbrook. I wonder if anyone got pictures today on the Windermere Sub.?

Re: XE No 764
Bob Eley
Yes, Jim, this train is overtonnage for the Mountain Sub "only if
all the power is on the head end". Drawbar stress, on the Mountain's grades, is such that tonnage is restricted to a maximum of 5000 tons and 764 usually has in the neighbourhood of 8600 tons. To overcome this restriction, the train is robotized at Revelstoke by putting two of the 4 units in the middle of the train. Essentially, this is the same as running two 4300 ton trains. Another restriction that this overcomes is the dynamic brake restrictions. Because of the fantastic retarding force of the AC unit's dynamic brakes, we are restricted to two operating dbs in any consist. For example, the train has 4 operating units on the Shuswap sub, but 2 of the dbs in the consist must be cut out. By placing the two units in the center of the train, you have two separate consists and each one can have two operating dbs so east of Revelstoke, the train operates with 4 dbs working. This train comes out of Vancouver with only 2 units on the head end. They are set up as master and slave, ie: locotrol operation is activated. The only connection between the first and second unit is the brake pipe. The second unit is operated just as if it is in the middle of the train. Somewhere on the Shuswap sub, we pick up two units and they must be placed between the two existing locomotives. This simplifies the robotizing operation at Revelstoke. At the east end of Revelstoke, the crew just divides the consist in two and places the trailing two units in the middle of the train and the train is ready to depart. From what I understand, this train goes south at Golden and is transferred to the UP at Kingsgate, southwest of Cranbrook. I would assume that the slave units are removed from the train at Golden and the train continues from there conventional, with two units on the head-end. I heard that this train is quite profitable for the CP, so it receives premium attention. It is expected to last for about a month, or until the barge slip is repaired.

Re: ex CP4500
Robert Heathorn
Although this posting is not about a current CPR diesel it might be
interesting to the list. This is from the Railpace Magazine Hotnews... bob FORMER CP C630m TO RETURN TO SERVICE: Former Canadian Pacific C630m 4500 is now lettered and numbered as Arkansas & Missouri #70. The railroad was planning to assign the big six axle MLW locomotive in transfer service at Van Buren, Arkansas. However, plans are now to utilize the unit on the nightly BNSF interchange train to Monett, Missouri. This is due to possible problems with the large locomotive on bridges and curves in Van Buren.

Re: Lone unit trains
Paul Cordingley
From: Paul Tatham <ptatham@...>
Most unusual to see a lone unit - even the Moonlight almost always has 2This has been happening regularly lately on eastbound intermodal trains on the Galt Sub...always with AC's. Either CP is being foolish or those beasts are awfully reliable - but I guess they could always blame any delay on NS/CSX and the customer probably wouldn't know the difference :) Cheers Paul |
