Yup. South Branch Valley has a Chessie GP7, the B&O Museum has their GP40, OSR has a Chessie GP7 in Chessie Paint (6xxx series IIRC), and Hartwell had or has 1 or 2 down south.

Well the tower is on it's last leg. Henry Ford Museum got all the old interlocking boards, glass meters and desktop switches for the old plant this week. Didn't someone say that there was a plan to save the tower? Did anything come of this? Why do you think The Henry Ford GOT all the interworkings ...

Nope.

Yet they closed Ashtabula... go figure.

Don't forget that was the corporate office for Office Depot for a few years too. I don't see it happening. Plenty of other places along the Detroit Sub that are much easier to move into for "rail service". Or they might forward their rail business to someone who already has a spur such as WF Whelan,...

Oakwood, usually.

4617 was caught leading Q327 up here in Detroit right after it's repaint in 2008, I forgot where I had seen the photo. The railfan rumor around was that Waycross painted 4617 in "retaliation" for Huntington painting CSX/SBD 2667 (which spent much of it's end of SBD paint life here on Plymouth local...

Extra capacity was not required. She just wore that for her trip out East last year.

I have never seen an intermediate signal that had 3 heads before, just control point and interlocking. Thanks for that info.

There are plans, or were, in place for BO after retirement. Some of these are still up to NS and Amtrak when the tower closes due to logistics. This is THE LAST New York Central and the last manned wooden interlocking tower in existence in the US.

How much is admission?

CSX 4617 confirmed donated to Clifton Forge. Plan to be announced in Early October on it's restoration.

The mast for the northbound on the main at Joy Road is a 3 indication head. Even Racer confirmed when they were installed the Main track signal had 3 heads. You can clearly see 3 heads from I-275 as well. On a 3 head signal, the middle and lowest head on a 3 light signal are SPEED signals. Such as a...

It was a comment Dane because, unlike the sheet metal hoods, the 244 has many parts that were to be used in marine applications (hense why Waymore bought them). And I was speaking about Waymore cutting it up Mr. Locke, not LSRC. Don't get me wrong, I am quite happy 469 still survives as it is a hist...

Pontiac is where the carman and other mechanical personnel are that handle the Blue Water, Wolverine, and occasionally the Capital and Lake Shore.

Q322 out of Wally World. CSX 7740 + 4568 + 971.

CSXT B20-8s 5957 and 5954 have been confirmed SOLD to Western Rail, Inc. Per their FB page today

Is it still for sure there? Shocked Waymore has cut it up yet.

I am still trying to figure out CSX's game plan for the entire Saginaw Sub. Half of the replacement signals have been up and ready for service for a better part of a year south of Wayne (Romulus for one), and no signals have been installed near Wayne proper yet as far as I can tell. No new signals a...
