Cool!

And watch out Ypsi... The grammar police are listening

Our trains will most likely be running by then, but you can keep yours running even when ours start up. We aren't planning trains by games, instead regular schedules. Our trains will not match up with game times (if they do, it's coincidence), so you can keep yours running to give passengers accurat...

Sounds good. Are these for only sports games or are these normal routes?

The plans for the commuter line are running at a painstakingly slow pace. However, some routes have been determined. We were planning on having a Dearborn-Detroit train, but you can go ahead and run it. You can also run the rest you listed.

After trying to make out city names on the track maps, I'm pretty sure the DR&EC does.

You can ship them untouched. They'll be repainted at our shops ASAP anyway.

The DR&EC will take C30-7's 2900-2909.

Cool, thanks MQT!

No thanks on the paint. We'll do it ourselves. We have the time since these will be used for the commuter system which won't be started until late this summer...

Grrr.... DT&I beat me to it!

7 GP35's have been bought from the AA and have arrived in Detroit via the TSCR. They will be taken to the Brownstown shops and repainted tomorrow.

Cool! Thanks DT&I and Ypsi.

Where do I apply?

Me too. No problems here

Don't worry MQT, Freshman year isn't that bad. Mine ends this coming Wednesday. Granted, with the way my district is I'm in a school with 8th graders. Our high school is 10, 11, and 12th grades. I think Ypsi's district is just full of troublemakers :lol: I just realized... Why does my district get o...

7 GP35s

387-388 and 390-394

The DR&EC will take those off your hands. I'm not completely sure where our rr's interchange though... If they even do.

The updated ClickOnDetroit article says that the man was 45 years old, but was not identified. They say he may have been listening to music while walking on the tracks. I don't understand how he couldn't have felt or heard the train...

Cool... I'll have to listen to that sometime. Good to see someone else from the Woodhaven area on the board

The ClickOnDetroit article had two pictures, one showing Frembes Rd. blocked, and one of an ambulance in a grass field alongside the tracks. I think the one of the ambulance in the field is the strike zone, as a few other people are seen next to the tracks too. If this is where the pedestrian was hi...

ClickOnDetroit reports that a pedestrian was killed by a train in Waterford Township. Police have not released any info about the victim or the train. The only thing I can tell by the picture is that it is an autorack train.
