Be great to see if it catches on. I think railpictures.net misses out on some creative shots because they are too concerned about the perfect picture. If you put a picture on this site that gets 20 votes and 17 are negative, chances are your picture stinks.

I know I'm gonna get slapped around for this, but it looks like axle two is off the rail.

How much of one type of plastic do they use? If they use 13 different types, the shipping will certainly be done by truck. Does anyone know where in Benton Harbor the plant will be located? If it is not on the line, CSX surely will not build a spur to it.

Just don't miss your graduation in June because you were watching a train. LOL

Looking forward to seeing the 38's

That was 1990. People who got shot in 1990 usually were asking for it in one means or another. Now you get shot just because. No other reason, just because.

I would do 24 hours at Dolton before 24 hours at Delray. Still, unless you have a hog leg, it may not be the safest venture. It is not like the demilitarized zone that surrounds 59th street and Corwith Yards, but it is close.

Here is a link to a derailment that just occured today in Covington Virginia on the CSX. Article From WDBJ-Roanoke, Virginia: http://www.wdbj7.com/Global/story.asp?S=6258502 A video is also available at the same site. No hazardous chemicals were involved. All 17 cars were carrying grain. No injuries...

I have a goal this summer to fan all the lower peninsula shortlines at some time. So far I have got the TSBY/GLC, HESR, Ann Arbor, and Detroit Connecting out of the way. Does the old PH&D count? I know CSX runs it, but it is a shortline as far as I am concerned.

Nice pics. I want to go to Carleton again soon. I went for the first time in years back in January when it got warm that one week.

I cannot help being a GLC/TSBY fan. My father lives just north of Howell at Milepost 81 and my grandmother lives just west of Cadillac at Milepost 231. I miss the days of the mid '70's when AA ran six to eight trains a day through Cadillac, along with the Michigan Northern trains on the other line t...

Me as well. I am horrible about getting those symbols down.

Good to know Mike. Thanks for the post. I'm curious Mike, how do you ever find the time to study with all the good train info you come across with?

I wish you would have come Tuesday. I hope you saw some good action TSBY392. I did good on Tuesday, even seeing your namesake on a NB with an odd consist. 394 on the point, 1977, 392, 394, 385, followed by one procor tank, followed by one NDYX covered hopper. That was it.

I had an awesome morning in Durand on Tuesday. I will get a trip report tomorrow, as I just got home from a round trip to Cadillac about 11 pm. Saw several CN, the WB Blue Water, a NB GLC, and inbound/outbound HESR jobs for Midland. Upon my way to Cadillac, I got a good shot of a SB GLC at M-46 in A...

I was in Durand on Tuesday at about 11:30 am when a NB GLC train came past the station. 394 was on the point, 1977, 392, 394, and 385, towing one procor tank and one NDYX covered hopper.

You would think someone crossing the tracks would have seen one of the two trains.

I told the boss I have a wedding to go to on the 12th of May. Is anybody getting married that day? I was on the clock 48 Saturdays in 2006.

Is anyone planning a trip out to watch trains Monday or Tuesday? The weather is supposed to be very warm, with just a small risk of rain Tuesday. I will travel just about anywhere within 1 1/2 hours of Royal Oak. Romulus, Plymouth, Durand, Carleton, Trowbridge, heck, I just want to get out.

One thing for certain about there, nothing can possibly sneak up on you.
