How many trains a day did the Grand Trunk Western run on their mainline between Owosso and Grand Rapids during the 1970's? What locos usually ran on this line and did that include any of their six-axles (SD-40)? Thanks, berkmeister.

Zack, thank you for the invitation; i might just take you up on that! I enjoy your website, glad i became a member, it has answered my questions well and i enjoy reading many of the postings.

Too bad...you would have had more guests than you could handle :wink: Actually, last year we had a estimated 750 adults and children that toured our clubhouse; and that was a conservative estimate!!!!!! A friend of mine who visited around 2:00 that afternoon told me he had to park 2 blocks away jus...

Sorry, no alchoholic beverages, just the weaker stuff that day!

Todd, did the northbound auto parts train you're referring to traverse the Marion Branch here in Indiana? It makes sense for such a train starting in Indy to get off the former Big Four double-track mainline at Anderson and take the Branch (also originally the Big Four Michigan Division) to Elkhart,...

In Soutnern Lower Michigan, which hobby or train store has a good or excellant selection of N-Scale products in your opinion? Thanks for any response! Berkmeister

Just wondering if anyone can tell me how many trains ran a day between Elkhart and Three Rivers during the NYC/PC days? And of these trains, how many went straight (north and south) through downtown Three Rivers directly to/from Kalamazoo instead of using the Air Line cut-off to the Elkhart Branch t...

WOW, strip clubs and massage parlors; what a railroad company we have here!!!!!!! I wonder if they're giving Pioneer RR employees free passes? Berk

Very good news indeed! I have checked out the Old Road on the east edge of Sturgis several times in recent years, kinda depressing seeing small trees and thick brush growing between the rails. I was always thinking why MSO/INE didn't intechange here at Sturgis, yet when INE purchased the MSO from Co...

GAP, since you show that you're from Kalamazoo, i thought i'd mention the Kalamazoo RHSMRRC will be at our show that Sat. Also, Cass County Rail from Dowagac will have their HO modular layout up. There will be a friend of mine's N-Scale layout, a long one, along with layouts of the Fort Wayne area N...
