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 nowada...

Hello, me and my grandfather are deciding to spread our legs and get out of 1 train a day country in Central Michigan and head to Ohio. We plan to check out Marion, Fostoria and Deshler. What would the best time in the summer be to see some rail action and decent weather

I don’t know if anyone knows, but on June 15th, the Steam Railroading Institute is going to run PM 1225 first excursion of the year called the Freedom Flyer. It’s not going anywhere special like Cadillac or Howell, it’s going to Ashley. But it might still be neat to see

Trains get through Ypsi either 10 mins before arriving in ARB westbound or about 10 minutes after departing EB. M-Th this summe...

My friend at SRI also heard the rumors but hasn’t confirmed it. It has come to my attention today that GLC now has a dispatcher contracting company doing their dispatching. When did this take effect? I heard that rumor to, I heard it’s due to them being contracted out due to them not “filling in sp...

What looks like 391 and 393 are moving around on the SRI cam
