Which places does it work? And does it work every week day?
Can anyone answer this question? I would like to have a better idea of when and where to see it.

CN Pontiac-Orion Line Operations

Does anyone know when the best time to see any action on this line would be? I know the GM plant in Pontiac and the scrap yard north of the junctio...

Wonder why he didn't put one here? Maybe not enough traffic to be worth the cost of the cam.

Who Else Wants A MI Railcam?

I think Railstream should put a webcam in Michigan. Maybe on the tower at Delray (with CSX's permission of course). The only reason I am saying this is because their PO box is in Trenton, so someone must live around there.

NS 1071 was north of 17 Mile yesterday. Not sure if it's still there.

Yep, that's true. They're both easily visible from downtown, too.

That's your quick reply from somebody who doesn't know for sure.
That's what I was afraid of, the Mt Clemens sub is nowhere near me. You're probably right :( Thanks anyways

CN 382 PLEASE REPLY QUICKLY

There's a blue devil on 382 and I was wondering what subdivision it takes in MI (Besides Shoreline). Probably Mt Clemens?

Be sure to bring your lunch, and maybe dinner. :P
Ha ha, alright then. Although Royal Oak is a great place to railfan because there are a lot of restaurants. I like the burger place right by the tracks on 4th street.

Most Interesting Catches On The Holly Sub

I've been railfanning on the CN Holly Sub for years now (mostly in Royal Oak and Pontiac). It's not the most exciting place to railfan, but it has its moments.

What is the name of the CSX Sub that goes south from Carleton down through Monroe and into Toledo?
