    I know that there is a lot of intermodal traffic that connects to the NS on the east-west main, I'm curious what other traffic is on the line. Anyone have any ideas?

    By the way, great to see this new fourm! :cool:

    I saw more mixed merchandise than intermodal entering/leaving the KCS east/west main eastern terminus (and NS interchange) at Meridian, MS as I passed through on the Amtrak Crescent from 1995 until 2000. I'll try to take a run up to the new KCS yard at Jackson, MS to get some photos now that we have a KCS Forum. [​IMG]

    BTW, for those who might not know, here is the KCS Industries Home Page

    Hank,
    Thanks for the follow up information. [​IMG] Now I am curious about how much traffic is on the line. I know that there are at least two intermodals that run all the way to Atlanta via NS and one that terminates in Birmingham along with a mixed freight. That's 4 each way each day. So how much more?
