Possible stringline derailment??

As far as LSRC in Gaylord-- after the switch that goes to A&L, the old main line that goes into the downtown area, does it still have any customers, or was LSRC correct in wanting that abandoned years back?? Any new industries that might locate there, as I see a few spurs still in place.

Currently stalled=== don't hold your breath.

Bet you are right about that--- 10 year limit on trailer age. Reminds me of one time ,that I had to deliver to GM Powertrain in Toledo. Checked in with the guard, and he wanted to see the REGISTRATION for the trailer. Told me that the trailer was over 10 years old. I knew nothing about this since th...

What wall did LSRC supposedly hit?? Seems like they are OK, so far . ??

OK--- THANK YOU--- THAT MAKES SENSE!

WHOA-- WHOA---- RICKOFF OUT AT LSRC???? WHY???? FIRST I HEAR OF IT!!!

Boyd and Ball were correct!!

That is what's known as progress.

I seem to remember the TRAINS magazine saying that there were about 150 trains through Fostoria, in a 24 hour period--- and that was REAL close to correct, as my son kept count, and there were 70 something in the 12 hours we were there, back in early 2000's.

Still beating a dead horse, I see .

And--- lots of people do not know that before he got involved with the auto businesses, that he was in railroading, and at one time, used to work for ALCO .

Used to work for them, 2 nights a week while going to college. My dad retired from Warren Truck in 1974, after 39 years . The Chrysler of old was way better and cooler than this Stellantis crap of today. I give them about 5 to 10 years tops, then they will be gone.

Not Chysler anymore--- first it was:
DAIMLER- CHRYSLER. then
FIAT- CHRYSLER. now it's
STELLANTIS. Next it will be
G O N E.

Don't really know, as I have not been there in quite a while. My son kept track one time, to see if it matched the number that TRAINS magazine said--- and it was pretty close. But from what I read now, it's about half of what it used to be. Probably won't be back, due to health issues--- but it was ...

Saw a video of that boat in Two Harbors last night, and they were commenting on the damage. Then about 4 or 5 hours later, saw in a news video that the boat was listing and needing assistance. Didn't anybody check for damage while the boat was empty????

If I remember correctly, that scene was used in the opening for BEVERLY HILLS COP.BUT--- I am getting old..........

Regarding Fostoria---- unless things have changed since the railpark has opened, it is best to go there on an overcast or cool day. I remember when I was there with my son, there was a complete lack of shade, and on a hot day there was no relief from the sun.But, maybe that has gotten better nowaday...

Saw on the phone today, where KALMBACH MEDIA is closing its doors, and MODEL RAILROADER AND TRAINS magazines have been sold to Firecrown Media, of Chattanooga, TN. Could sort of see this coming, as these mags were a shadow of the excellent publications they once were, but still sad to see it go this...

I could be mistaken--- probably am---- but I thought that ex. SOO unit was going to a quarry operation in Texas???
