Right next to the Nevada crossing, Oakland crosses the Holly Sub.

Lets all guess how much longer the blue will last on GTW units in the CN system. My guess is by the end of 2011, they will all be repainted or retired.

What would anyone reccomend for a hand held scanner? I will go without before I spend $400 on a scanner. If one can be had for less than $150 that will do the job, I sure would like to know about it. All I intend to use it for is railroad dispatch while trackside.

The CSX should bring Ford from DC to Grand Rapids.

The LSRC better do something soon. The track has to be an issue just getting to the end of the line and scheduling crews. They have gotten lucky that units have not been lost or someone killed recently.

Does your mom not trust you or does she think railfans are a bunch of oddballs? I'm not sure posting my picture would be doing you a favor.

I hate to sound ignorant, but why would NS have traffic issues between Ypsilanti and Detroit when the entire stretch is double tracked? NS runs what, about 16 trains a day through there?

I just cannot see it happening myself. The NS line running from Detroit to Jackson passes through Ann Arbor but misses the airport by 5 or 6 miles to the north. The NS line that runs from Detroit, past Metro, and through Milan on the way to Indiana, misses Ann Arbor by 7 or 8 miles to the south east...

Hey, don't worry about the picture quality Blue. Just hope the crane does not derail on that fabulous LSRC track.

Hi Norm! Welcome. I can be found at least once a month from March to November in Durand. I live about 2 miles east from the Holly Sub mile 15 in Royal Oak. Both my father in Howell (mile post 81) and my grandmother in Cadillac (mp 231) have the GLC running through their back yards. Most my trips are...

What city i995impalass? I do not know where you are talking about.

That is what I'm thinking, join the club. I have had alot of rejects and only one accepted, which was hardly the best one I sent in.

Maybe it is because there is such a variety on the CSX from one train to the next and a lot of good places to shoot.

What about the other 10% A1? Just curious.

Welcome aboard JT.... awEsome shots look forward to more.
You should find this board pretty freindly.

I agree with Scooterb. This is a very friendly board. Maybe it is because there are no politics discussed here.

Phooey!!! Nuckin Futs!!! (Employees only)

I would like to find out when it passes through Royal Oak.

I would suspect that a wye would have to be constructed at the East end of Cadillac West Yard near 3rd and Wright. Otherwise, a backing move or run around would be needed to go North to Walton Jct. The space does exist for such a connection, as no structure occupies the area. I wonder if a casino tr...

Chicago 4900- Thanks, I knew of the configuration of the tracks at Milwaukee Jct. The diamond has been gone more than 15 years now. I would think that if any commuter train used the Holly Sub again, it would terminate at the Amtrak station on Baltimore, west of Woodward. A shuttle bus would run from...

According to the Detroit Free Press, a man suffered minor injuries and was able to walk away from the scene after driving his car into the side of a train Friday. The accident occured about 1 pm. near the intersection of Baldwin and Walton. According to Pontiac police, the man's car was totaled, but...

I hate to say it, but you could make a train that would pick up someone at the end of their block and take them non-stop to the airport terminal, they will still choose their car. It is something I would like to see, if it were feesible. If people will not take a train from Pontiac, Birmingham, and ...
