I'm growing up in this town and I love it! I was born into Conrail and raised with NS. I have been raised with the michigan line and have seen the ups and downs, the rare catches and the long hours between trains. I've dealt with the 25mph running and I've seen the lines rebirth. And I believe that there will be a day when I will see more trains a day; stackers, manifest, Amtraks, and maybe MI train. I will always keep Ypsilanti on the RRfan mapGP30M4216 wrote: I spent 2 1/2 years living in Ypsi while attending Grad School at EMU. Some people may think I'm crazy but I really miss that area! Thanks for keeping us up to date on the railroad scene there, Ypsi!

thanks AARR I had never even noticed that until this video! she was really making some noise crossing that bridgeAARR wrote:You have a very good mic to record the sounds from that distance
Thanks janga! They are there right now lol. I really hope that one day they find business in AA againJANGAJONGA wrote:Nice report, heard them coming north but could not make it in time. On another note, the Annie just removed the switch to Burts forest supplies on felch street, making fingerle lumber and the passing siding at ferry the only spurs left in AA
they got to Osmer at 7:05 and went back over the bridge at 8:11 pmcfriedri wrote:Interesting that you caught these trains on Sunday. For most of the day the AA GP39-2s idled on the Saline Branch while an army of workers repaired the track damaged by a derailment on Saturday. I was going to wait for this grain train to head south through Pittsfield, but personal commitments prevented me from doing such. I'm glad you could catch the train instead! BTW - what time was the train going through?
