Does anyone know the schedule and route NPK#765 will take from Columbus Tuesday?
Thanks

Route is north to Bucyrus then east through Alliance to Pittsburgh. Route is subject to change.

I don't think anyone knows the schedule, even the FWHR folks. As a deadhead move it gets dispatched when it gets dispatched. If it follows the trend of the other Ohio deadhead moves she will leave mid-to-late in the morning and spend a lot if time in the hole at various locations while other trains pass, only to make a dash to her destination in the mid-to-late afternoon.

As of now the tracker still shows her stationary in Watkins yard, but the tracker is less than 100% reliable.

And for what its worth, the tracker does have the routing, too.

Edit: Or at least it does when I'm not fudging with it.
