So-- if there is no engine in 392, it's technically NOT a locomotive then. So it seems that it's use as a BUMPER is more important than it's use as a loco--- if that's ALL it needs. Still technically and legally a locomotive. Slugs are legally locomotives and don't have engines. 392 requires a sign...

I once heard a manager in Chicago say, seriously, "if we could just get rid of these customers, we'd never have any problems!".

Was American Bumper Tower Automotive at one point? I've always heard that CMGN "lost" Tower as a shipper and the GRE had to do a lot to win their business back.

L303 with CSX 7252-4057 (dead in tow) and 47 cars east by Seymour at 12:21.

The lumber yard I believe had a spur at one time. Was there a small grain elevator at one point, too?

Kinda off topic but relates to King Milling. I was driving west on M-11 in Cascade, Mi and saw a King Milling 18-wheeler semi truck. Unknown it was loaded or not. Semi truck turned south on Patterson Ave off M-11 earlier today at 10:15am Probably off to the factory to package the flour If you see a...

Apologies, I have been corrected. Trowbridge is 25, not 20, and Howell is medium speed signals because the bridge only has 2 heads (still a 10 mph siding though). Been a long time since I went east!

It’s been a while since I’ve been over there, you might be right about Howell.

Trowbridge and South Lyon are the only sidings on the Plymouth Sub with bigger switches and speeds greater than 10 mph, from what I can remember (20 mph for both sidings), thus the "Medium" indications. Everything else is a smaller switch and will only give "Slow" indications. Fox, Elmdale, Lake Ode...
