Okay, if I'm understanding correctly, only one train a day each way across the AA trestle at Argo Dam, and at present they're not running in daylight. If I want to try to catch the AA swapping cars with the GLC I should go to the Osmer Siding between between Warren and Joy (conveniently marked on wi...

Since Googling didn't provide an answer, I thought i'd ask here--does anyone know what the weekday train count is like? I assume the bulk of the traffic will be on the E-W Norfolk Southern line, but I'm really hoping t...

The main at Brighton is closed and traffic is being routed on the siding until repairs are complete. Q335 westbound at Okemos Road at...

I'm betting that this was one of the bilevels that took a tumble in the Gibralter derailment. (Does anyone have IDs on the damaged/derailed cars?)

pulling a flatcar and a crane. I lucked into seeing it passing the Amtrak station.

CN Santa Train spotted
Purely by chance, I sighted the CN Santa Train led by IC 100 and IC 101 passing westbound through East Lansing at about 2:20PM today (Dec 16, 2007). We were en route to a concert on the Michigan State University campus, and were stopped at the Bogue Street crossing by a sight I never expected to see...
