Re: battlecreek help
Yes, this is a good thing. Don't really want to hurt anyone's feelings. Don't take my beastlieness seriously, but take my words seriously.Y@ wrote:and you're the only person i know who can laugh at a diss against themselves..nssd70m-2 wrote:Tops ,your a beast!

Coal trains run as needed, my friend. Literally, they run when they need more coal. They are not like freight trains that run on a "schedule". As obvoious as the answer is, that's all there is to it.

after spending about 4 hours in BC this past Sunday 6/14, I can report there was NO activity whatsoever on the CN excepting Amtrak 364, which apparently had the Flint sub to itself. Not even a road train at the fuel pad, nor any job working the yard.

The streets of BC were devoid of any traffic, it was like I had the town to myself.

There is no need for Battle Creek after breakfast.
The houses don't even have addresses, they have cereal numbers.

Re: battlecreek help
The schedule is probably about what I saw posted elsewhere to a similar question. The train will run about 15 minutes before you get there and about 15 minutes after you leave.
I used to get paid for doing what all of you like to watch!

Or when your railfanningin a group anew railfan will show up and the trains will stop running ( or some time start running) when the railfan leaves then trains will resume usedto happen in holland all the time.....
