Y121 engine 2680 sounds like they are heading up the Fremont Sub toward Tlout at 09:30. Radio chatter suggests they will be working the Dock Track in the early afternoon.

IMG_6212.jpeg And you can buy tickets for the Chicago-Grand Rapids leg, too. Both cars are destined for the Indiana Rail Experience fall excursions. They’re going by freight to the INER at Montpelier on the Wabash, but the route must be convoluted. CSX to NS at Detroit? Grand Elk to NS at Kalamazoo...

Seeing a Michigan-bound Grand Elk train pass by the Elkhart depot camera a little after 08:00 this morning prompted me to think of the following question: Other than at CP Park and Cowling in Three Rivers, what, if any, Conrail era signals still stand along the Grand Elk line from there south to Elk...

Nice video David, and you are right, the K5LA horn action is excellent. Once upon a time, the cheerily-toned K5LA was synonymous with Amtrak F40s and everything else sounded different. Now it’s rare in so many places to hear anything other than a K5LA!

Sounds like MQT NB , no visual. At least we agreed on something. I heard train horns in Grand Rapids around 2:53pm too. Marquette was northbound at 6 mile at 2:10 with 102 cars as seen in this video from thhe Rousche Druve crossing. https://youtu.be/Vmeag_vi8Ak Great video of their entire train, St...

Z627 Michigan Shore interchange shoving back into Waverly Yard Holland with the MMRR 2019 LHF with 6 tanks and 3 shortie covered hoppers. It looked like a decent line of covered hoppers in the yard perhaps for them to take back north. Y121 is somewhere around Holland but I’m not sure where.

So I'm going to Chicago on the 14th, we are taking Amtrak out of Waterloo to Chicago. We plan on spending a bit at the Roosevelt St overpass for some action in the yard to see some Dash 8's and heritage units. Later on we are gonna move up to N Canal St right there on the curve at the north entranc...

Providence & Worcester power laying over for the weekend in Middletown, CT just north of the diamond included B39-8 3907 and B40-8 4003. The 39 is in the traditional P&W red and black but the 40 has had the G&W orange dip. 6 shortie covered hoppers were south of the diamond and a cut of coil cars wa...

Railfan Brett Railfanning shows a few videos of IORY's Delta Yard Job and Flat Rock Turns as well as other IORY trains. Thank you for sharing this AARR! Not only does it do a good job of documenting the transition from elder EMD power to the latest GE G&W acquisitions, it does a good job depicting ...

Was anyone on the board involved with this project? It’s an impressive effort to turn a total eyesore into a nice showpiece for the village and the railroad. I’m looking forward to heading up to check it out sometime soon. Watch the video, you can see they recently added details like number boards a...

184 was the 3rd unit westbound on the Lake Shore Limited arriving in Chicago this morning, still very much wearing her 184 number and, at least from the exterior, looking unchanged. Destination Beech Grove.

Does this link help? Getting there to see the tower still in operation is on my bucket list, but we’ll see if I get there!

Anyone have any new updates on the track rehab and aggregate facilities reopening at Livingston on the GR Subdivision? Nothing of note lately. Ties were apparently replaced, all the track was uncovered from sand buildup over the years and nothing had happened since early spring on site. Thank you b...

Anyone have any new updates on the track rehab and aggregate facilities reopening at Livingston on the GR Subdivision?

L305 was eastbound at Webberville at 12:10 with a short train and a single unit. Cars were in the interchange track at AnnPere visible from 96.

355 should have P42 Genesis 55 leading tonight.

Y121 north at Riley St. Holland 10:53 AM. They have a loaded coal hopper and an old Providence and Worcester (?) boxcar in their consist. Yes, Tlout! I’m glad you reported this, I wondered where it was going. I saw it yesterday on L301’s Bangor camera passage. I believe it had LRS reporting marks. ...

L301 west from Grandville 12:30. Y194 with a few cars in the Plaster Creek vicinity. MQT is in the middle of Wyoming Yard with 4 engines.

I remember this day! I was stuck near the back of the backup down on River near 17th street. It didn’t even occur to me that Y121 might be the culprit until I later navigated all the way around to the Amtrak station seeking to use one of the small numbered streets to get back to River when I spied Y...
