No, but all his observers did!

1728 EDT SOUNDS LIKE POSSIBLE LIGHT POWER COMING BACK TO GR EB.

Light power move just through Grandville. Three SD40-3's, two GP38-2's and an ES44AH.

Just saw a westbound coming thru Okemos as I crossed the tracks at Dobie Rd 79.9

L321-22 clear South Novi 6:07 PM
Engine is #7797
Conductor calling all of the signals for once!
Notes - maybe 30 MPH, lots of Sultan gondolas, and bright shiny red double stacked rolling stock, don't know what it's called. Pretty long.

MOST of it cleared 7 Mile Rd., then it stopped for about 5 minutes. Resumed, and cleared with 131 cars just now.

E801 through Vine at 18:21 EDT. 532 axles, 7052 feet at 91.9 DD.

This set of engines went east to West Olive on a coal train on May 15th, last Sunday. Now going back west.

Photographed 6 different westbounds on csx between defiance and albion on my way home... some I got two times even. Rarely waited more than 10 mins at any spot... hopped up to NS after, got two westbounds in 30 mins, and enroute home now

How busy has Deshler been? Thinking about stopping there someday.

Amtrak P370-22 has AMTK 37 leading, 4 of the am things, AMTK 90219 trailing.

Yeah last night it had four Amfleet coaches and a Horizon coach. Nice seeing a shiny cabbage instead of that rustbucket.

I was at Deshler 2 hours Friday night from about 10 - midnight and it was non stop busy.

I was at Deshler from about 6-midnight last night. Other than a pause while they welded on some rail it was non stop busy as well. Often 2,once in a while 3, trains in town at the same time.

If you go to Deshler you will see trains. More trains than you will in Michigan. I didn't see anything really unusual or interesting but the numbers were good.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep Deshler on my list of places to go. I would recommend Vickers as well. I was there from noon-530pm and saw 23 trains. Surprisingly, the CSX Toledo Terminal was equally busy as the NS Chi Main.
