Track Inspection Train at Lake Odessa today 10/15/15
I was out at Lake Odessa and saw headlights at the EE Lake Odessa. CSXT6025 in the lead. It had two cars. I can't pull the car numbers out of the picture. The lettering and the background car color are close enough in color that I can't read it. It was held up by a WB freight switching a business at...

Plymouth Sub traffic
Hi all....
I've been recovering from cancer treatments and have been out of the loop for months. What is a good time to expect any movements between Fox and Elmdale. Would like to get some fall shots.
Thanks
Bob

Re: All Hear this: Michigan's Amtrak Subsidy To Go Up In Oct
I know of stops that would be eliminated. The AMTRAK trains made stops in Indiana. The MDOT funded trains didn't stop at any Indiana stops. What I recall was the reason was Indiana didn't contribute to the funding of the MDOT funded trains.
It makes sense to have everyone pitch in.....

Last Days of Passinger service in Michigan
I know the obvious that AMTRAK ended 99.9% of freight roads running passenger service in 1971. In Saginaw I was told that Bee Liner Service was ended in the early 1960's on the NYC. So, when did service end on the PM and GTW? The only date I know of is that passenger service from Hemlock to Saginaw ...

Re: Plymouth Sub MP Locations
Thanks for the information. I've went through all of the info I have and the last ETT I have is 1994. Some things have changed since then.

Plymouth Sub MP Locations
Working on updating my ATCS database for the Plymouth Sub.
I'm looking for the following milepost locations for:
E&W end Lake Odessa
E&W end Elmdale
Alto
E&W end Fox
And lastly where the Plymouth Sub ends and the Grand Rapids Sub begins.
Thanks!

Re: Flint - CSX
Growing up in Bridgeport, train traffic was at least 1 train every 2 hours in the 1970-80's. I've been hoping to catch something running in Bridgeport, but I might hear one hit or miss. Traffic on the Saginaw Sub is way down from what I grew up with..... Really sad.... But glad to hear that there mi...

CSXT ATCS activity on the Plymouth Sub
Hello all: I was out yesterday and decoded ATCS data at Lake Odessa. Got about 1/2 hours worth of data then my power inverter died and that ended the data collection. If time permits this week I'm hoping to drive the line from Elmdale west to Fox. Sunfield hasn't been touched..... Old signals and po...
