It's So Over...
Yeah, I caught it too, even if it meant driving over five hours from Kansas!
The railfan community has been out in force documenting Norfolk Southern's TripleCrown "RoadRailer" after an announcement Aug. 12 said the end was nigh. Since 2015 when Triple Crown Services restructured, NS trains 255 and 256 between Kansas City, Missouri (Birmingham Voltz Yard) and Detroit, Michigan (Melvindale Oakwood Yard) were the final ones of this kind, yet they kept running hard and seemed to have no clear end date until the announcement. Going forward, TC trains will look a little "greener" with dedicated intermodal containers under new symbols 251 (west) and 252 (east), between KC and new eastern terminal Airline Yard in Toledo, Ohio.
At dusk, 255 25 drops the clear indication as it heads west through Griggsville, Illinois on the Springfield-Hannibal District.
