Good luck. Railroads keep stuff like blueprints locked up tight. I'd try and find a CN timetable or rule book for the Flint Sub.

Well i mainly interested in the flint one by the airport but if u get the belsay rd one that will be cool.Railnut wrote:Are you talking about the yard(in Flint) by the airport, or the old Belsay Rd yard(gone)? Also on the Flint Sub is the yard in Lansing, as well as the yard on the east end of the Flint Sub(Tunnel yard at Port Huron) and the Battle Creek Yard (in Battle Creek).

Go to www.terraserver.microsoft.com. then type in flint. You need to go to the topographic map part and it gives you all the tracks that are in the yard. they are not labeled though. hope it works.
happy railfanning, Bob
