Michigan Shortline Updates Jan 2016
AA 2373, 3927, and 1337 are currently tied down just north of Payeur Road at Pittsfield Junction. Word is that they brought autorack cars up from Toledo to Milan and several covered hopper cars went up to Osmer. No cars that I'm aware of came south from there.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates Jan 2016
Last train with 2 motives was a Lowel train in the summer of 05 or 04. MMRR 24 had failed during the winter, and CPMY 7014 had been running the line. I happened to be in Ada when they did a test run. I believe 24 was leading with one of the Ex-Grand Rapids & Eastern red GPs trailing. About a 35 to 40 car train through town for Lowel.
Anything can be fixed with WD40 and ductape......... Right?
