Q436

When Q436 arrives in Framingham, they usually drop their train on the Running track 4, and then tie the power down on track 6 in Nevins yard, what train does Q436's power usually go out on ?

I think the two units of Q436 become power for Q437, its wb counterpart which usually leaves Nevins Yd before noon the following day.

yea i was thinking that but i wasnt' sure if the power stayed in Framingham all that time, thanks for the answer

Q436's power used to go back the next day on Q423(which is now Q437) but they realized the power was sitting way too long. That was when Q436 went to work late morning. They then experimented with starting Q436 at 200/300am which gets the train in by noon, but usually it gets in too late foor Q437. Often times Q436's power can go west on Q283 and Q264's power go out on Q437. Other times Q264's power goes out on Q283 and the Q436 power returns on Q437. Of course once they change the Q274/Q293 jobs to CP Yard this could change more because they are proposing putting Q293 on duty @ Framingham @ 600am.

BTW, I scouted out CP and Nevins yard this past Sunday morning and there was no sign of any multilevels yet. One promising thing I think I saw as I drove by was a street sweeper cleaning the parking area in the CP yard.

The Q274/Q293 turns are still showing going up to Barber on the CSX computer, just not as many multi-levels as before.

I heard Q274 go up to Ayer today on the radio so they are still getting autos at Ayer.

isnt' there another company taking autos at Ayer? not just Ford
