Very Nice picture! however this Thornapple River Bridge as noted below is
not a Trestle but a metal riveted warren design "deck truss". Simply it's a truss
bridge, Just an FYI.

I agree morning is a good time during the weekdays and weekend. The amtrak station is a good spot and there is a grain elevator to the west of the station which makes for a good backdrop for photos.

I agree I like your pictures at Milan and Belleville, great report all around.

Good pictures and report and am glad traffic is starting to pick up. Good catch with the conrail engine.

thanks for the report t.winx I was curious what the daily traffic is and now I know. I was there briefly in August and caught a few NS East and Westbounds but was wondering about all the work going on there also. New signals were about to be put in when I was there.

Thanks for the report I can't imagine seeing that much UP and BNSF power in one day. I really need experience Rochelle and will try and head out there next year. I guess I need a break from the standard NS and CSX. How are the surrounding towns such as Creston, Malta and Steward for railfanning? I w...

Primary customers are the elevators in South Milford and Reading, and the utility plant in Litchfield that receives 30 cars of coal per week. They have other customers that ship fertilizer, tallow, particle board, plastic, and a few others. Thanks for all the info guys, didn't know about plant in L...

I caught this GP-30 by suprise while travelling through Fremont, IN. This unit was stationary on the tracks and might do local switching during the week as their were some box cars and hopper near by. Anybody familiar with this short line? are they owned by Rail America? I also saw some more of thes...

Lapeer is close to me so I railfan there at times, thanks for the report and nice pictures. I like your angle on CN 5625, I always try and work the grain elevator into my shots also.

third unit was MMA 758 ex-BCOL 758 i misssed it by about 1/2 hour in Durand

Thanks for the info on the 3rd engine I was curious.

I had to make a stop in Richmond in the morning so after that I headed up to Emmett to what I could catch on the CN line. Not real busy but here is what I caught. Note: I also included another CN shot that I took while visiting the yard in Pontiac, MI last week. East bound SD70, not sure what that 3...

A very detailed report I have always wondered how much traffic goes through there, thanks T.WINX.

Goshen is a pretty nice town and like the old truss bridge on Indiana ave.

Great report and I can see why you like this location. The backdrop of a grain elevator is always a plus. Wonderful pictuers and nice catch of the Susquehanna engine.

Here is a brief report from Delray. My friend Brad and I started out the morning at Shaffer yard http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x251/rmmbridge/Trucks/Trains/GT4919.jpg Then it was onto the Rougemere yard for the new CSX switcher, which I know most of you have seen but here is another picture. ht...

Nice as usual Y@, I would love to have seen Q39003. It's looking more and more like I won't be Deshler bound until mid August.

This is a helpful guide Y@, and learned a few more things. I hope to get to the "Corn City" a few more times this year.

Prices are coming down on them, I have a West Digital 320GB. There a must have.

thanks for the comments everyone, I have enjoyed seeing all your pictures as well. It was so nice to get a break from all the CSX I see here.

I was out visiting family in Utah and this was my first time railfanning out west. It was good to get away from the Michigan landscape for a change. Here is what I caught: I had a short drive to the Midvale yard, found these nice Savage uboats, hard to believe there is a freeway like I-275 behind th...

We were fortunate to have some good weather here in Michigan weren't we. Good shots from Plymouth Chris, and nice catch with the Conrail unit.
