It did happen. Apparently he was given permission into Durand Yard and assumed it meant CP Durand. PTC stopped the CN train.

South Diann used to be the interlocking and the south switch of the Diann siding. With the changes complete, South Diann is now just Diann. CN had to upgrade this subdivision for PTC requirements. The trains that do run haul enough hazmat to need PTC. Basically, CN had to either upgrade ALL existing...

PTC UPDATE: 1) The road decks at Doty Rd. and Sumpter Rd. have both been repaved and the maybee siding panels cut out of each. The maybee siding is now discontinuous. 2) The switch panel at the south end of the Diann siding has been taken out and moved to the north side of Gloff Rd. Straight rail re...

Just an update: Spoke to a signal employee from the AA today and he said they are supposed to be adding THREE tracks to the interchange, which would bring the total to five. He said their purpose would mainly be for storage. Didn't ask about why or where they traffic came from though. Another thing ...

Yes, both sidings will be coming out. North Maybee (Field), South Maybee (Doty) and North Diann (Mex) will all be removed as well.

its all crap. I railfan at a bike crossing in between Pennsylvania and sibley in Riverview, MI (CN Shoreline Sub) and the cops tell us all the time its illegal to park there ( there arent ANY no parking signs & I'm not blocking a thing...) and taping the trains is taping gov't property so its illega...

Hey,
Does anyone have any info or pictures they can give me on the Marion Branch around 1980-1985? I'm trying to do some research on the route because I'm looking to start an HO scale layout around this time.
