I had heard rumor from inside Watco awhile back that the AA would be getting a makeover and that "heritage" would be kept in mind. Could have just been talk, or could actually be coming to fruition... We'll see. Bring on the Blue/White/Grey scheme! (Not gonna happen) :( I wish this was the case. Ho...

Very funny!

Were did you take this photo at on the Michigan line. Saw a small convoy of Amtrak trucks working west this morning. Included were two hi rail trucks and one amtrak marked semi. They had ties on all three trucks, ad some rail on the semi. Looked like they may have been doing a little clean up along...

Just received a text message from a friend of mine: "NKP 765 heading westbound on the old Wabash main, just crossed over M-39."

Update: NS 953 will NOT be stopping at the depot in Milan, Michigan.

According to my scanner, NS 953 the "Detroit Arrow" will be making a special stop at the depot in Milan, Michigan.

What is the next excursion, or employee special for the 765 after Detroit?

Does anyone know if the 765 will have any speed restrictions on the old Wabash line, when she is pulling the "Detroit Arrow" this weekend? Will she be allowed to run at 60 mph, or is there still at 40 mph restriction that was imposed in the late 1980s on all steam power?

What frequencies were you using, and what control channel freq. Thanks. What tower do they use, or are they on a statewide freq. This was off the Washtenaw County MPSCS Simulcast System, which uses a control frequency of 855.0875 MHz. I have also heard them on the MPSCS towers in Flat Rock and Nort...

Last night around 01:30 hours, I heard "4072 calling NS 1000" on my scanner. I was listening to the Michigan Public Safety System (MPSCS) 800 MHz, digital trunking system, and my scanner locked onto talkgroup 12089. I have it marked as belonging to CSX, since I have heard their police officers patro...

Thanks guys! I shot this in the summer of 1989.

In the early 1990s, I was out in the Grand Rapids, Jackson, and Lansing areas taking train photos. Sadly, for the life of me I can't remember where this train depot is located at. Does anyone have a clue, and is it still standing? Thank you! http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6163/6174039744_d804bac33a_...

I was just listening to the Chelsea Police Dept., on my scanner. They had their two patrol officers, and the chief down at the crossings in town watching something move through town on the Amtrak/NS line. One of the officers said that the last one just passed M-52. The other officer mentioned that t...

I remember the 765 coming to Milan on the old Wabash from Fort Wayne, then going north on the Ann Arbor Railroad. Then it returned the same way in reverse order. When did the 765 come up the Ann Arbor from Toledo?

Cuyohoga Valley is first. Wait until then. Routing will prolly be NS to AA @ Alexis just like last time. And with the new NS Steam Program, and 765's run to Trainfest from N. Judson, 765 led instead of the diesel. I would guess that may happen this time. So they are talking bringing the 765 up the ...

Any word on what day they are going to move the 765 up to Owosso?

Radio traffic on some of these channels today (changeover day) were understandably a bit confused as some of the base stations and detectors have yet to be switched over. I don't know if this coincided with the narrowbanding program or not. I am sure more will shake out soon. Hi Rich, I was listeni...

Mystery solved! This is the yard frequency for the North Baltimore Yard. :D It is A yard channel for North Baltimore, but not THE yard channel for North Baltimore. THE yard channel at North Baltimore is AAR 65. I would guess what you are hearing is one of the support channels, like carmen, or someo...
