Re: GLC Petoskey branch
How long can the trains get on the GLC. I don't think I have seen anything over 30 cars.

Re: GLC Kalkaska
Everytime I go up North I hope to catch a train in Petoskey, Traverse City or Mancelona and I never have. These GLC operations are really neat because they are so small and unique. I hope one day I catch one. By the way is it me or does that box car look like it is not even on rails. With no bumper ...

Re: Help Finding Pictures
A lot of that stuff has been removed. The signal boxes you speak of actually are from before the 70's they were only there when both lines were active. When it was just the GTW you would never see a signal along the whole route. So a lot of what you are seeing is from the 50's and 60's.

Re: Trespasser caught on camera!
I am suprised the TSA did not have him probed and shot. If you want a good laugh go in the Durand station and read the TSA Homeland Security advisor to Rail fans. I felt like a terrorist.

Re: Tunnel Paranoia
I know where i will be taking pictures this weekend. I have always wanted to go there but the neighborhood seemed too classy for me. Hopefully the TSA will not haggle me.

Re: Tunnel Paranoia
I thought that they were supposed to be upgrading or building new tunnels to support double stack trains.

Re: Northville Hospital
Actually if you approach the site from the tracks you will be on public land for most of the spur. The power plant is right on the edge of the property. and I visible fromt he tree line. You can also just ask the security guard he might be nice enough.

Re: Northville Hospital
I just looked and the road bed is still there and so is the platform the used to dump the coal cars but all else is gone. They even took out the bridge over the creek I think.

I have seen the pictures on this board but I am looking for more pictures of trains going through Lake Orion and Rochester Michigan, especially pictures of trains in Down Town Rochester. Thank you for any help or links.

Re: Help Finding Pictures
I did do that and got some steam pics of poor quality. The Lake Orion Historical Group no longer exist so I got nothing from them. The Pictures here of Grand Trunk through Rochester are great and I have some cool stories about them. However the New York Central is hard to locate anything on. BNSFben...
