351 will have the 90215 leading 7 cars and I think the 27 on the rear....

353 will have 90219 on the rear, can't remember what the leader will be

355 had the 28 leading 3 stupidliners and the 33 and 36 on the rear; now I know I wasn't going that fast, especially with an extra lead sled on the rear....

more like 2008, but who is counting??

L62 also switches out the IN interchange traffic and will take care of the elevator on what's left of the line that went to Delta, used to be there was a plastic place at the end of that line at S.RT. 15 that they would leave cars--not sure as I haven't been to Mtpel in YEARS....

You can list 4 rivers with their headwaters in Hillsdale County: The aforementioned St. Joe and the St. Joe of the Maumee with it's many little feeder creeks in the southern half of the county, the Grand--which starts out of Lake LeAnn and Lake Somerset in the NE corner of the county, and the Kalama...

The transload doesn't seem to transload anymore........or were you referring to the roundhouse that used to sit in the background from WAAAYYYYY back??

Problems with the power--a bad wheel discovered--while sitting in PNT; train was annulled between PNT and AA with the Grey Dog bustituting. 350 was terminated at AA and the train flipped back to CHI as 353 minus the light unit you saw which was on it's way to PNT to lead 355 using 353's equipment wh...

The first shot east of Blakeslee looks like you were on C.R. 8.5 and were just south and west of Pergo with the IN connection: where the IN crosses 8.5 is where the IN will sometimes wait to get onto the NS into Mtpel. if their train is too long to fit between crossings just east of here and there i...

Curious if they let this train run at pass. speed or held it to freight speed......

I mean EVERY P42 could catch on fire and burn up and then I would be a happy Amtrak engineer---although I'm sure our crack mechanical department would work miracles and get them all back running PRONTO..... Oh wait, I said mech. dept. and crack and pronto.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol:...

uh,...... what is it you do ttam??

You won't catch me shedding any tears over this.......

I'm thinkin' they had the 35 leading, 7 cars, and 127 on the rear

354 had the 37 with 6 cars--no lead sled on the rear tonight

60T's leader was the 2503---haven't seen too many 'normal' SD70s' lately....

I saw a couple tracks of tanks being stored in Hollow yard on Sun morn.

It lost some of it's parts---like the red lense and the lightbulb from what I can remember

I know Lapeer loaded out some beans this fall in 25 car blocks a couple of times--don't know whats going on over in Im City as I haven't been over there since Aug.

I know that 370/371 has been running with a cabbage--does it lead 370 or is the crew wyeing the train upon arrival into GR to keep the engine leading both ways??

The cars I would see them loading would be the PD hoppers; on MOST occasions that I have been by their siding, there would be btw 4-8 cars there; I imagine the regular CH would be for Lapeer Grain in either Lapeer or Imlay City.
