[quote="trainjunkie47"] I miss the days of the mid '70's when AA ran six to eight trains a day through Cadillac[/quote] Now that would be cool to see every day in Clare, but the TSBY is a twice a day train railroad, usually at nite. I'm a bit of a TSBY fan, but I also like the Lake States/SBS, Huron...

Nice pic Craig, I happen to have seen that engine last nite when the trains met in Clare. Welcome aboard!

The southbound came in with #394 last nite by itself, while the northbound came in with 4 locomotives, numbers were #2681, #385, #391, and #392. They unhooked #391 and #392 and hooked them up with #394, then proceded south with 39 cars, while #2681 and #385 went north with 37 cars. Three engines on ...

Does -15 F count. Reason for that was during the arctic temperatures, I was out one of those frigid cold nites catching the TSBY making a stop in Clare. Didn't realize how cold it was until i went back to a friends house and found out how cold it was.

From what i heard E&LS had a lil mishap while moving one of them around, thats how it broke.

Well heres a bit of info for u James. I had gotten a report a few years ago on those RF16 sharks, and they're not too good in shape, plus one of the couplers got busted off on the front of one of them. Plus Paul B. told me they handled like crap, simply cuz they weren't taken care of too good, since...

Great pics Dane & Gregg, this meeting turned out very interesting, especially George showing up with old pictures, which is a plus. I'm still laughing at the ice cream contest lol! Lisa (traingirl21) laughed her hardest when she got runner up for the artistic contest. But anyways I was very glad tha...

It seems the TSBY had a little mishap while switching out cars on Seiters Siding. Somehow one of the trucks on one 4 bay hopper jumped the switch track and landed on the ground. It took the TSBY two hours to get it rerailed, but all is good. At least it wasn't a case where the car went on it side, i...

Yea it was interesting seeing a few old power around. I think I remember seeing the pumpkin CSX loco, plus one of their old GEs, which i think was an old B23-7.

I remember when I first got to go to Judd St.(last November), my objective was to see the CSX drone. 15 minutes after me and the friend I went with to GR, I got to see it. Pretty interesting action that goes on there, plus I got to see the local head out. Seeing a caboose on the end was a major plus...

You might be a railfan if: 1. You hear a horn of a train and run outside with your camera not realizing its 15 below outside. 2. Half of your wardrobe is railroad t-shirts and hats. 3. Everytime you get to talk to someone the instant they mention trains you tell them about your adventures, what you ...

Two more weeks to go until the 2nd annual MNHS meeting!!! I'm just curious about this, tsby388, u gonna be there by chance?

Yea true to that Pat C. Some threads develop that way, but these days some issues are different.

Thanks for the post on that tsby388, I heard that he was fired but its good to know that he didn't. I hate to see any railroader lose their job.

Yea that is a good point Don Simon. Don't worry I'm not putting a grudge towards Mike or anyone else, but I just don't want anything to turn into a situation likely with CSX, which in my opinion is unfriendly towards railfans. Like I said I have respect for any railfan that posts topics on this site...

Just recently I've been keeping up on news and posts in michiganrailroads.com and I tend to notice that sometimes other railfans go overboard on posting what they saw. For instance, a Mike D. Shep posted about seeing the TSBY crew stopping to get coffee. My opinion on that is that was pretty stupid ...

When are these routes gonna be done? I would like to see these on train-sim file library, plus I'm looking for any Michigan routes to have for MSTS.

I happen to do a lil research on that locomotive, its a former Erie-Lackawanna engine!

Let me repost this link for u guys!
