I enjoy video's, in particular of short lines, and also I am one of those rare people who enjoy seeing the whole train (excluding unit trains). Please keep posting. Thanks.

My edited video featres the train 3 times, at Fuller Diamond, 9 Mile Rd, and Grant. I show the whole train ONLY in Grant because of its speed at that point. otherwise, it'd be a 20-minute long video...

B34 Runs East out of Battle Creek from Hinman Yard Usually 5 Days a week. They Depart East Just after AMTK 351 Clears the corridor. They Usually are Back from Jackson in the afternoon. Time all depends on work in Jackson.

If Amtk 351 is running on time B34 usually leaves Hinman at about 09:45 /10:00 or so.

I respect the opinions of typhoon and Pat C. Whenever I see their posts I always make sure to read them. typhoon privides me insites and understandings from an inside perspective. Pat C, in his serious moments, shows some good old fashion common sense and backs it up with supporting documentation. I have also had some railroad insiders privately send me information to help me understand why they do what they do and I appreciate it.

However, too often policies presume guilt (in otherwords we are a criminal) until proven innocent (we are stopped, id'd, questioned) while doing nothing wrong. We should not be questioned if we are on public property or on a public road watching trains. Or Lord forbid you are 20 or 30 or 40' from the ROW rather than 50'-1", or sitting at an Amtrak station railfanning. So, yes, I do respectfully disagree with "some" of the current tactics being used by the law enforcement officers.
