Norm, you'd better watch out for the Klingons near Uranus!

I hope he has a plan to wipe them out!

Here's the unofficial one that's been making the rounds of FB and the innerwebs...

There's a public access road down to the IAIS yard and the east end of NRE - as long as you stay on the road and don't try to go through the gates you can legally shoot from out there and the most that security can do is tell you to leave or don't trespass or whatever. It's not *that* unusual that p...

They were never saving the tower. They were taking the model board and interlocking machine out for parts. Another group *was* trying to save the tower complete (for the last couple years) - though they obviously failed. From what little I paid attention to that I believe that effort failed due to ...

I can play "photos in a book or they don't count."

Here's the first one: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7336/10429822583_3a53afe834.jpg A Halloween pumpkin on the Toledo Terminal by Michael D Harding , on Flickr FWIW, I have seen loads go that way occasionally over the years (though not often) and I think it generally is due to a mess of some sort on...

Did anyone actually get any pictures of this move? Just curious...

Already on CN, heading up the Shoreline and then will loop back down the Lincoln later today returning to Walbridge.

This just keeps getting stranger - now hearing the "OCS" is some kind of Walbridge to Detroit (via the Lincoln Secondary) turn job today running as a D701...

The CSX OCS was sitting in the auto loading facility south of 795 in Walbridge yard this morning at 0800. There were crew members around the head end and the rest of the train but I don't know when it might take off or to where. The best guess from yesterday's TO thread was a morning departure headi...

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

I've gotta say, that looks really good!

Is there any other career that seems to have as many long-term employees as railroading? http://t.now.msn.com/thomas-merrick-new-york-city-transit-employee-retires-from-mta-at-age-91-1 Farming? Truck driving, perhaps? Racing (Andretti's, etc)? Practice Safe CSX I've seen plenty of "old" accountants...

Plus that tree casting the shadow on the autorack must be moving along with the train...

Just there a week ago and the model board and interlocking machine are still inside it. It would be nice if at least the board were preserved, the rest of the structure is too far gone to be saved. I believe this is the group trying to save it: http://www.lodirailroadmuseum.org/index.html They've b...

I have a relative that volunteered for Jerry Jacobson at numerous railroads And that guy got so rich that he's building his own roundhouse to house all his toys!

We will be going to scout locations Aug 11th. Do they have a way of turning the locomotive or will it lead one way and trail back? Also judging by the photos I've seen it will lead south if they cannot turn it? Based on past history for the two hour round trips it'll lead south and then be pulled b...

Rumor has it leaving Detroit on this evening's 21N (Friday 7/26).
