250BOB Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) You getting frothy Bob ? Hi Dave, I have been tasked by our Rail Interest group (10 of us)......to keep them up to speed with the arrival of the class 70's.....purley because I tell what I learn off here, and they think I'm some sort of Admiral. But, they(including me probably), are going to try and get to Seaforth to see some of the arrivals this time.....it might be of interest, as shipping also interests some of them to a point. One or two of the group are still number crunchers.....and just wanna be first to see them. So hence my apparent over enthusiastic interest....which you could misconstrue as getting Frothy.......however, if I fail to get the appropriate information in good time, and we miss this opportunity, then I am likely to be demoted from Admiral within the group....probably keel hauled, and be swabbing decks for a few weeks. So bear with me on this occasion...this is not normal behaviour I do assure you.........anyway, are they on the b....y boat or not.?

APOLLO Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Any chance of dropping the stereotyped boring comments ? Twas meant to be a joke - however point noted.

250BOB Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have heard that the two locos have in fact been loaded aboard Atlantic Companion in New Jersey as earlier suggested........after it has made stops in Baltimore, Norfolk and Halifax, it will head our way, eta Thursday 16th or Fri 17th......but loco unloading not expected until the following Monday.?

250BOB Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 My understanding is that these locos go on to York from Midland Road, and infact dont spend anytime at all at MR. What is it at York that they go there for.? Bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffP Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) There are Freightliner sidings south of the station, it could be that? Just south of the Holgate Road bridge. Edited February 19, 2012 by JeffP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
