Looking at a Google image on the LSRC YARD, at Saginaw. Anybody know what the 6 blue/ white locos are to the EAST side of the roundhouse are doing there, along with the old 469?? Those are gensets being stored on property from CIT. McGrew Yard in Saginaw has at times been a place where lessors woul...

It can be purchased for scrap value. Transportation costs are the responsibility of the purchaser. RS2u 469 remains on site as the back-up Cheboygan switcher and road freight to Rogers City Jct. It will be scrapped unless a buyer is found after GP38M-3 arrives. The NWC&N is interested in potentiall...

The NWC&N is interested in potentially purchasing the 469 for a project.

19:05 - "251" thru MP 225 with 8858 and 5666 leading. Not sure if E251 or X251 as my friend said E251 likely passed already.

E251, no extra today.

L507 north by Charing Cross at 7 on the dot. CN 8828 and a short train (very few intermodal cars as well).

Nearly had a tragedy about a 3/4 mile down the tracks with someone walking in the gauge of the track as it was barreling north. Lots of horn used by the crew.

507 working Moterm as of 6:30. Will blast off once a 40 minute late Amtrak 355 clears.

It was 513. I heard them go south in Royal Oak at 9:50pm.

By Opdyke at 12:50. I wonder if he made a belt line run tonight and ended up going down the hill later. Four tank cars going north with 5417 leading long hood forward.

I can’t say I’ve seen this before at this time of the night, but as of 12:10am there are TWO northbounds lined up by Opdyke Road. Train on M1 is Amtrak 354, and the train on M2 is a mystery train, nothing has left Flat Rock in the last several hours so I’m wondering if this is a very late L513 headi...

508 by South Blvd in Pontiac 8:03pm

13:58 - A492 thru MP 225 with 3162, 3000, and 5817 leading manifest freight. They had M2 and did not appear to be meeting anybody.

5817 going back to Flat Rock via L508 tonight

The grand finale of Operation: 4014 was a stop in Chesterton, Indiana. Lots of really neat stuff, including the Virginian heritage unit and a GIANT intermodal train.

See ya all tomorrow! Weather looks pretty good until 5-6pm when it might rain, so plenty of hours from morning till then to hang. Sd80mac and I should be there a little before 9. I figure on being there in time for #365 I’ll be getting there unreasonably early. Late to bed tonight but up way before...

While I was out and about this past Wednesday (9/21/24), I got word that the CN track geometry train was coming south on the Holly Subdivision. I was only expecting the geo train but I managed to nab a local before said geometry train showed up.

After some delay, Day 3 has been posted. I started the video out with a 2:1 aspect ratio cinematic intro. I got the drone up several times but to shoot B roll of trains. I still got plenty of video from the ground which is seen in the rest of the video. Enjoy. https://youtu.be/C-7qSfkH7CA?si=eoGsyp0...

Y297 @ 17:19 northward at the wye no cars for the GRE (said the yard was jammed up) just empty gons heading to Padnos Front St. That Grand Rapids Wye area is always jammed with traffic on all sides especially for a train that goes 10mph in and out of yard limits. He’s talking about the yard Andy. N...
