Re: RAILROAD RECYCLE
Eh Something tells me she'll be alright for a while, most of the units that were repainted (2 years ago now) were at some point stationed in Chicago, and were covered in graffiti. 1005 lucked out when it was stationed in Chicago in the early 2000's. If they do any repainting anytime soon (I'm sure t...

Re: RAILROAD RECYCLE
Bump Yep D.O.T. is now defunct, they just haven't patched up all of their engines yet. They roster 8 EMD SW's, and according to Chicago crews the 1005 at Kellog is their smallest, oldest, and most reliable. The original owner Don went to jail for "murder for hire" he put a hit on his wife. I believe...

Re: CSX around New Buffalo (Michigan Sub?)
Cool man, I guess that means they haul ass. I caught some Westbound Amtrak train on there tonight @ NB. I wasn't expecting it, as I had no clue that anything ran that late on that line.

Re: CSX around New Buffalo (Michigan Sub?)
Thanks guys,

Re: CSX around New Buffalo (Michigan Sub?)

Thanks

Re: 4449 & 765
Yes 502 is at East Chicago. So 4449 will run the length of the IHB. Then make a reverse move to Western Avenue.

Re: 4449 & 765
A bit off topic, but from what I hear on IlliniRail, 4449 is supposed to be pulled from its train (at an unknown location) and run up the IHB to Franklin Park. It will then sit on display @ the same location as FPRR Daze, from Friday night til sunday AM.

Re: New Buffalo/Union Pier area
Oh Yeah, I was definitely going to try to shoot some of their geeps street running on 11th street. I've been reading, apparantly the D700 occationally makes its way down to NB to switch out that yard with all of the old bad order cars?

New Buffalo/Union Pier area
Hey Everyone, My name is Frank, and I'm new to the board. I live in Chicago,but am at my family's place in Union Pier pretty regularly. Up until today, I thought that all you saw through the area was CSX manifests, BNSF Coal trains, and Amtrak. Well I found out that I'll be spending Spring Break up ...
