I think there filming a new season of Lost.

Posibly Turner Bean & Grain?????

I totally disagree with Evan. This is not about human error. This is about brazen nonfeasance fueled by human greed. Given that, apparently, many of the derailments occur in the same place --- right outside the LSRC offices --- we can make several observations. First, LSRC Management clearly knows ...

That looks to be the spur to Wabash (former Wicks) not used much at all may just have had some unforeseen issue buried in the snow. Seems to me LSRC does just fine on trackwork as I often see them working around Saginaw....a few weeks ago they were working in force on the bridge over the Saginaw ri...

Y'all need to to see the new paint scheme on the LSRC 3062..... Which is now the Lsrc 6301. I'm Sure y'all will like it. It'll be called "THE SPIRIT OF THE HOOD" lol

The 371--2052 & 5921 were all purchased in 2005...the 2003 and 2052 were the bought before they aquired Saginaw & the 5921 was aquired shortly after. :mrgreen: Thanks! Edits made. Now all that table is missing are pictures for three of the new units...unless there are names for some of the other un...

These new units are now LSRC now, correct? I wanna make sure they're not still CITX. Also, I plugged in a lot of unit history information into the LSRC Wiki Roster tonight. If anyone sees something wrong (quite possible, I used RRpa as the main resource, and I'm not perfect) either edit it yourself...

It was "rolled back" for Walmart.....

CITX 3065 & CITX 3067 MADE THEIR WAY NORTH NITE BEFORE LAST.....

Most Railroads take the horns & number plates off before they're scrapped.

- Since when did the previous Michigan Gov. get a locomotive named after him?
- Where is located?
- What does it look like?

If ya type in John Engler Locomotive inyo Google images you'll see pictures of it....

I've added the 3095 to the wiki: http://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/Lake_State-Saginaw_Bay_Southern#Current_LSRC_Locomotive_Roster Now, I've assumed that thse new SDs have had their Reporting marks changed to LSRC. Can anyone confirm? Hello MQT i caught the Z127 on Thursday for power was the 205...

Well ya all missed it again LSRC slipped another engine by ya's CITX 3095. Brought it up Friday nite. Hopefully it runs as good as the 3062.

Hi all! I know, I'm on a thread roll. No hatin' :D Anyway, I was wondering what type of locomotives Amtrak/MDOT/IDOT would be getting after 2015 (the bi-level deliveries). The MI State rail plan indicates new locomotives, but not what type. Does anyone know? You can also speculate on which would be...

I've got a photo's of the last train that ran on that line.....It's the 469 and 1 csxt hopper....the old line cut my wifes aunts property in the back...

According to this months Trains Magazine the LSRC route to Gaylord is a military primary route. Does Grayling even ship anything by rail anymore out of the base? Does this mean even if Gaylord didnt ship anything does the military have a say in if the route stays intack to Grayling? At least the ro...

Well, since the morning train was later than normal, not only did I get a car count, I got a video at the Thunder Bay River bridge as well. Saturday, July 27th Northbound - LSRC 800 - LSRC 1174 - 12 Stone Hoppers (MTY) - 1 Bulkhead Flat (LD- some rail) Arrived in Alpena Yard at 7:57 EDT. Remarks: S...
