Re: Southwest Detroit 12.23 & 12.24
Thanks, CRD. I like your trip reports. Even though the temperature was 40ish it was very damp and at least to me chilly.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Where was CN 451 going with the five BNSF locos? I'm assuming they were dead in tow. They were apparently headed away from their home rails.

451 turns north to Durand then west on the Flint Sub to one of the yards in the Chicago area. Others may be able to tell which one.
Re: Southwest Detroit 12.23 & 12.24
Thanks.
I notice the old MC depot is looking a lot better these days. Anyone know what Mattie has in mind? Those new windows must have cost a small fortune.
