Re: out of curiousity who is comming to owosso for train fest ?
Oh yea i will be there, Lets see will be chaseing 4449 from battle creek to durand, Then from there to fostoria, 24 hours at marion, Then down to Columbus, Have to pay my last respects to the Ohio Central since they got bought out by G & W, Coshocton, Dover, Brewster the W&LE, The last time i was to Brewster yard they didn't have a locked gate, I guess i will see what it is like now since it is locked, Then follow the W&LE main line to Bellevue oh. Via Spencer, There is a W&LE yard in Hartland east of bellevue lots of power there too. Then work my way west towards steamfest. Was going to do most of this stuff 4th of july weekend but the cutbacks by the railroads changed my mind.

Re: out of curiousity who is comming to owosso for train fest ?
I'll be there. I'm on a pre festival trip to Detroit so on my way from Indianapolis I hope to stop in Owosso on Thursday to watch 4449 leave for Alma. Then I'm in Owosso Saturday, will be onboard the PM 1225 excursion plus the night photo session.
I know some friends that are and I'd like to pull some strings to chase one of the Daylight trips by way of carpool..

Might go Thursday
I am afraid that it is going to be a goat rodeo with traffic.

You can look for the Choad there over the weekend. I'll be the short, girthy guy with the bald head.
Watch out, though: I usually have a couple of nuts following me around!

Yes, with family, leaning toward Saturday (because 4449 won't be running excursion that day).

Might take Friday off and go. Not sure if I want to pay an admission fee to deal with all the stupid crazy foam that will be out there.

The family and I will be there and am looking forward to it. This'll be the first real rail "event" for my sons so I hope the herd that will be there will be fairly well behaved!
