NS Triple Crown Roadrailers - July 2020

[@therailroadtiespiker]

Great catch with a double header you don't see that much on the Roadrailers.

[@jalilmuhammad8270]

Looks like the Norfolk Southern had a change of heart and reinstated the Roadrailer train!

[@tarmac2001]

They never ended the Detroit to Kansas City service. That's the only route NS still offers Triple Crown.

I Used To Pull Roadrailers For Triple Crown. A Dispatcher Once Told Me A RR'r Train Could Leave Chicago And Be In Atlanta In 8 Hrs. Is This True?

[@ericzaiz8358]

More less so long as the train can maintain speed and doesn't need to stop for something. They basically maintaining an 80-85 mph the whole way.
Passengers trains were even faster, the old Illinois Central timetable call being there within 7.

[@tarmac2001]

Not true, especially with how slow NS runs now.

[@yaraihan]

I Taught It No Longer Exist. But I Find Out It Still & Extremely Rare Nowadays

[@KansasTrainVideos]

Nice Catches, I have a video coming up with a WB Roadrailer with the same power of your July 18th #256

[@fallingup90]

Was it a late shot? Catching these things were difficult with the way the roads and tracks differed

[@KansasTrainVideos]

@@fallingup90 Yeah, the train was late. I got it about 10:30am

[@diekeneuk]

counted 110

[@galaxyrailfanning7860]

Great video man!

[@manderschannel2275]

So almost 2 years ago, and we still have RoadRailer trains?

[@LewisMarien]

Yes, they still run currently.

[@tarmac2001]

The Detroit to Kansas City trains still runs. It's the only route NS still offers Triple Crown on.

[@dylan2422]

Yes they do run but only on NS
