[A No.1]

I am in pain from running through fields and on raodbed. So Im hoping we got some good photos from the trip. Ill post a few when I get em edited. I think Scooter B. has the rundown on all the Trains we caught.

Pat. C., thanks for driving. I still owe you for that.

TOPS took us to SIX FLAGS over CSX while we were there. WoW.

18A was putting his train back together at Bryan as I was headed home. They had outlawed in the morning and had to cut crossings in Bryan.

Not barefoot yet. Will be soon.

THAT AARR GUY IS SHARP.
WE CAN'T GET ANYTHING BY HIM.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION---THE CAR WINDOWS WERE OPEN A LOT.

A GR88888888888888888888888 DAY TRIP AND WE NOW HAVE ANOTHER PUBGRUB PLACE TO GO TO---THE KETCH KAN TAVERN IN WATERLOO.

A WORD OF WARNING---WATERLOO/BUTLER/EDGERTON HAVE VERY ACTIVE POLICE DEPTS.
FOLLOW THE TRAFFIC LAWS AND YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS.
I HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE RAILFAN FRIENDLY .BUT NOT BAD DRIVER FRIENDLY

Nice pictures ScooterB. I especially ike the one of the GP50 rebuilt into a 38.

[csxt4617]

I didn't know that Baldwin switcher was still at the grain elevator. Must have been hiding somewhere last time I came thru there, there was a blue EMD SW of some sort.

[PAT.C]

THE BALDWIN IS AT THE FAR S.W.CORNER OF THE PROPERTY. IT IS JUNK AND I WOULDN'T BE SUPRISED TO SEE IT SCRAPPED SOON.
THE BLUE SW IS ON THE SIDING IN FRONT OF THE PLANT [N SIDE BY THE MAINLINE].
IT IS JUST LEFT OF THE LONE HOPPER IN THE PIC ABOVE AARON AND THE BALDWIN.
AARON TOOK SEVERAL PICS OF IT --HE'LL PROBABLY POST THEM SOON.

[A No.1]

Ill get some on here soon.

Heres one just like one of Scooter B's

Bunge Grain ...

They have elevators all over the place...here are the ones around MI that I can think of. They don't have any locations in MI.

Danville, IL (NS)
Decatur, IN (CFE)
Delphos, OH (CFE)
Homer, IL (west of Danville on NS)
Catlin, IL (west of Danville on NS)
Waterloo, IN (NS)
Bellevue, OH (NS)
Kankakee, IL (NS)

Thanks Tops.

BTW, When we were on the Bridge in Butler We talked about why there was NEW rail ready to go in when the track was just replaced.

Scooter B. Photo:


I got to thinking. The new track that was just put down was most likely track panels. Lots of extra welds for the distance but it gets you up and running.

They may want to lay proper rail lengths to get rid of some of the joints.

Just a thought.

I think the recently sold one in Jeffersonville, OH when they partnered with Sabina Farmers Elevator at one in Sabina, OH. Read something about it but don't recall details.

This was after "LUNCH" at the Ketch Kan in Waterloo. LoL.

IT IS JUNK AND I WOULDN'T BE SUPRISED TO SEE IT SCRAPPED SOON.

It isn't completely junk... it would need a lot of work, but it could be restored. The Elkhart Museum was interested in it, but NS set too high of a price to transport it, so there it sits. No plans to scrap it, so it will probably sit for a good amount of time.
