IOW's, from Monday night through at least Tuesday, traffic should interesting.

IOW?

awesome information. thanks alot.

Thanks much for the info.

Any word on why this phase took so long? The western span has been sitting on those pedestals all summer. Did it really take this long to repair the Irene damage, or did Canal Corp insist on waiting until Labor Day?

Just a guess on my part but most likely the railroad wanted to wait for a lull and a holiday weekend usually produces a lull in traffic.

In Other Word's (which has a misplaced apostrophe, but whatever. I'm not the queen of apostrophes, and they didn't elect me their leader, so you can abuse them as much as I want, and I'll laugh at their little pudgy bodies squirming in discomfort.)

I'd guess there will be a lot of late or unscheduled trains much like the day after Christmas on Monday night into Tuesday.

There were three detours over the Susie-Q this weekend, not two. Today I spotted the Q402 coming through CP BD in Binghamton at 4:00 PM. It stopped behind the Rocket Plaza on Court St., where it waited for a new crew. I took a couple of quick pictures in the rain, and a Susquehanna pickup pulled in with the new crew just as I was leaving.

Tracks were back around 915pm over four hours late.
Between 12 and 16 eastbounds were waiting.

wow sounds like things must be very backed up. there must be numerous slow orders around there now too.

there are slow orders all over the system. I know there is one in the Jordan/Weedsport area still can't remember if its on track 1 or 2 tho

Approaches and bridge is still 25 mph as it has been for the past 3 years. There are currently no slow orders around Jordan/Elbridge. A 40 mph at CP 296 was removed today and a 25 on the Seneca River bridge MP 320 has been in place for a couple weeks. You may have seen warning boards for the 2-3 work zones in the area, dismantling the remains of those signal bridges removed during the last signal switchover. Everything is back to normal op.s.
