Re: Flint Windmill Train
I am curious if LSRC will take it to its final destination or if it will hand it off to HESR in Saginaw ![Confused :?](https://mail.railroadfan.com/phpbb/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Re: Flint Windmill Train
Thanks for the info. Any updates? I was just out and heard a horn from the south, but it didn't go thru town. Whatever it was it must have stopped at McGrew, but I didn't have my scanner with me or drive down there to see.Doktor No wrote:Got one coming out of Proviso for Flint LSRC via GRP in the next 12 hours or so. Have a crew in Chitown to get it I see. If I can I'll keep info posted as I get it.

Re: Flint Windmill Train
I can almost garuntee you that that Windmill train Isn't anywhere near you. In Fact, it's probably still in Chicagoland. They've been taking up to 12 hours to get to Michigan........TomCat4680 wrote:Thanks for the info. Any updates? I was just out and heard a horn from the south, but it didn't go thru town.

Re: Flint Windmill Train
Any updates yet guys? What's its number at least? I'd appreciate any info, I've never seen one of these famous "windmill trains". I thought they were just the Holland local before.MQT3001 wrote:I can almost garuntee you that that Windmill train Isn't anywhere near you. In Fact, it's probably still in Chicagoland.

Re: Flint Windmill Train
Just an update this train was sitting in Saginaw yard at 7:15 this morning lined up for the Bad Axe sub. HESR had four units sitting at Towerline rd. being 9712/5492/3838/and 8804 not sure if it went out today or maybe tommrow but I'll be heading in to work at 2pm and will swing by if it's still there I'll update....On topic the Gilford wind farm is progessing nicely with bases being poured. NextEra expects the first turbines by Sept. 68 in Tuscola and maybe 7 in Blumfeild.

Re: Flint Windmill Train
HESR has this train now, looks like they are shut down between Towerline and Airport Rd. 3838 Is the power, and they are tied down at the Airport road crossing.
