After impact the vehicle could have spun around and damaged the fuel tank? I know a certain someone on this board that had that happen to him lol

When I was in 3rd grade Conrail came to our school with a Operation Lifesaver presentation. I won a lantern...

Just saw on news 3 at 5:50 tonight, breaking news. Another Amtrak/car accident near Battle Creek.

I called a friend of mine to see if he has heard anything on his scanner, turns out he is on a trip to the other side of Jackson. On his way home he is going to check out BC.

I have an acquaintance that does photography for the Kalamazoo Gazette. About 5 years ago there was a rally like this at the station here in town. He took photos of it for the paper. He said 5x the people showed up to support Amtrak compared to the the anti war or other political rally's he had seen...

Sunday night after 8:00 I was in Durand for a few minutes. Two of the guys in our group had never seen the depot, it is a must see piece of Michigan history. Roughly five people were photographing in the north west corner of the diamond and one person was just roaming all around that area, on CN pro...

Scott, so are you and Pat making this a date?

The village I live in police can issue a speeding ticket to a engineer....but they mail that in. Not sure who pays I would have to ask someone about that. Some pot head got run over by a locomotive about 6 years ago and the village ordinance is 40mph for rail traffic.

There is track in Paw Paw, that is about it. I think you have to go to Heartford to see trains on that line, nothing operates into Paw Paw or east. There is a cool turn out in Paw Paw with a frog that is bolted on. Old signals, old trackage and old rolling stock have interested me more recently. And...

Yes sir I do. I stock the 360 4bbl decal that was used from 72-74. They fit nice on most aftermarket chrome air cleaners. They are orange, white and black. 6.00 ea plus 3.00 for the post man.

I am about 3/4 of the way though selling off all my N scale, I will have a few more auctions. I have about 15 items on e bay right now, mostly rolling stock. I will be finishing up the rest of it on Sunday. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfrppZ50QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQrdZ0QQsassZwnovess99 Too many links to i...

Oh don't be fooled, Kalamazoo is pretty lame for train watching lol It is a good place to get mugged, shot or hit up by a pan handler. Just south the CN line is much better. There is a diamond in Schoolcraft where the Nazi Southern and CN cross.

Being that I am 24, most of my model rail roading friends are older than the hills. I have gotten to see the affects of aging on the eyes, I want to be able to see my trains when I am 50 lol. I gave N scale a 15 year run, that isn't to bad. My dad has boxes and boxes of HO he no longer uses, some of...

I am selling off all my N scale to move onto HO. I have 3 locomotives on ebay right now. http://cgi.ebay.com/Kato-GP35-N-Scale-Penn-Central-Locomotive-PC_W0QQitemZ380078166426QQihZ025QQcategoryZ19124QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.com/Atlas-DT-I-GP38-N-Scale-Locomotive-Weathere...

I will be at the Kalamazoo train show selling off my N scale and some HO locomotives that belong to a friend. I did put some weathered N scale cars on my wnovess99 seller list on e bay. I going to put on some locomotives later this week.

Rail Model Journal had an article on the ex PC now Kellogg's box cars around 2002 or 2003. Good reference for modeling. Sadly, I don't have that one in my collection.

The vegetation around Lefeaver lake has really over grown the past 10 years. It was a great spot for photos in the early 90`s. I grew up in Vicksburg and I don't even know if Sunset Lake has a public access. But if you want to multi-task (fish and spot trains) I would give Sunset lake a try.

My dad and my self are hosting our last model car contest that is held in conjunction with the Elvis Memorial Run Car Show & Swap Meet Saturday August 16th 2008 at the Gilmore Car Museum. Our theme this year is rusty cars and trucks We have 11 classes, 1st and 2nd awarded in each. We have always use...

I was off dorking around rail fanning around Climax and I came back buy and photographed the Kalamazoo local job sitting at Pavilion around 4:20 today. I just wanted to go home because there was no action. I was about a mile from the accident site and had no idea until I read this!
