You are the king of using bad arguments to supplement yourself.

2K15??? MMXV??

Doesn't matter if it hasn't in a while... You stated and I quote "The 1225 has also never gone west of Cadillac either, even if it is a push/pull operation." MAybe if you'd research stuff before posting there wouldn't need to be a thread on what you're doing wrong. Just saying... In this world of Go...

Pere Marquette 1225 is ascending Boon Hill west of Cadillac Michigan witha Lake Central Tours excursion on former Ann Arbor rails.

Yes its the Manistee River bridge that limits where the PM 1225 can go north of Manton. 2 GP's may weight as much as the 1225 but the weight is spread out more than the concentrated weight of the berk.
Never gone west of Cadillac? Like towards Yuma? Ummmm Yes, yes it has.

The lines last customer is General Motors SPO plant. I believe it's a daily run from the yard up to there to service and return.

Plan is engine facing north and pulling to Clare. While in Clare train will be switched so engine will be leading tender first southbound to Alma. Plan is to wye the engine in town and then pull engine facing south to Owosso.

The other bi-levels stored in Cadillac are for future projects. They arent being staged for any thpe of service at this time.

Its going to Oak Grove just like where theyve unloaded the pipe before. Land is already setup and ready to accept flats.

!?!?!? English please. It's the official language of 'Murica, please use it. LOL

Just like why Dok No left and I understand it more now. Railfans telling people in the know how and why things are. Just keep thinking GLC is profiting from those cars being stored while engines are down and parts cant be bought and crews and shop guys go without the necessary things for day to day ...

There's no splitting hairs.... Federated is profiting from the cars sitting not GLC. Not that hard to comprehend... Is it? As for anger from me... Yeah no anger from me over here .Just trying to state the actual facts and if you consider that anger well I guess we won't miss your 9 posts a year. BTW...

So the company that OWNS GLC is profiting... Not GLC? HMMMMMM NO KIDDING!!!!! So you're telling me GLC isn't making money on the deal but Federated is? So just like I posted. All Federated is is an investment group trying to build a portfolio of "money makers" exactly like Fortress was to RailAmeric...

GLC is in the running to be the operator and I think it's a pretty good conclusion that they'll run it on their own railroad. As normal people post without reading.... Are GLC's reporting marks on the cars? NO Are FRYX reporting marks on the cars? YES. Please tell me again how GLC is profiting from ...

Read into the statement.... "Trust me... GLC aint profiting from them like you think they are...."

Have you ever paid attention to the cars and their reporting marks? Do they have GLC on them? No. Do they have FRYX on them? Yes....

Trust me... GLC aint profiting from them like you think they are....

It's operated by track authorities issued by the Decatur East Dispatcher. I'll get my rulebooks out later and post more info.

Hey... PETA aint bad! I'm a fully supporting member of it!

Lansing is by far the best. Always great deals and location. Catch some deals and then fan Lansing for the day.

Instead of asking railfans on the internet for suggestions on if the railroad may or my not allow it why not call the railroads? They have numbers and contact information online with very little searching necessary.
I have known multiple railroads to allow shadowing.
