Re: GLC/AA/LSRC/HESR Heads Up November

Anything else besides that, like regular freight on the line? (down to Osmer, up to Traverse City)

Well i shot it in Detroit at 1700 and it held outside Detroit for about 30 mins. So with all the speed restrictions near Monr...

Re: Great Day of Railfanning in NW Ohio

Um I think I can be classified as a foamer. lol. I can't imagine the crews calling me a railfan if I am standing in the pouring rain fighting to hold up the umbrella while working the camera. I can be considered a railfan just because I despise the rain then, there was one day the rain did ruin my ...

Re: Erie In Michigan

I only asked for location since I didn't see anything in Monroe that looked like a top down view of that picture. I had a feeling it was going to involve the Raisin River, since it was the only thing that seemed like a potential match. Makes me want to go up there and check that crossing out.

Re: Help! Save Detroit & Mackinac /LSRC ALCO RS2 #469 from s

Can't help with getting the 25 grand, but if that was found another place to store it might be the TLE&W, they've just started doing car storage and I would imagine a deal could be worked where it could be stored at a reduced rate of sorts. Unless it was somehow donated to the museum for them to ta...

Re: LSRC/HESR/GLC/AA Updates: September 2012

The AA was heading north through Temperance today at 2:30pm with some grain hoppers and 2 log cars. They went through Milan at about 5:30pm, with the addition of 2 boxcars. I'm going to assume later they'll interchange the load with GLC

Re: CN/GTW LOCATION UPDATES 9/2 TO 9/8

CN 184 went north on Ann Arbor from NS at about 9am, 9:20am through Temperance and it had a CN 15th anniversary unit trailing. It's most likely at Flat Rock now, but figured I'd let anybody know who might be interested. Thats NS 353, which becomes CN 384. CN 385 is what becomes NS 184 and goes to B...

Re: CN train 184

I'm quite familiar with them running on the Ann Arbor, and I've caught them on the weekends going back north a short bit after 9am and during the week I've caught them anywhere between 9am and noon, usually before 11am making the trip back. (this is around State Line Rd in Toledo) I have caught the...
