Decreased traffic??

[NW Mailing List]

You have 4 CSX reroutes, NS Numbers 100/101 and 104/105

101 is Hagerstown south to Riverton and across the old Sou B-Line. 100 
is 101's northbound counterpart.
105 goes down the valley to Glasgow and then uses CSX Connection to get 
to CSX rails. 104 is the northbound counterpart.
