Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know that I'm now posting updates related to the operations of the Ann Arbor Railroad on Facebook. The main focus is reporting what's going on in and around Toledo, which'd involve the yard and mainline operations.
Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ann-Arbo ... 0386335055

Dont forget to throw the updates on this site every once in a while for those not on Facebook (I'm one of them )

Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
I will try to do so, I figured this'd be a big help to anyone who's wondering about the operations.. especially involving the yard in Toledo, and around the general area.

Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
Got a report earlier, at about 2:30pm, that 1337 went back to Ottawa Yard. That's all that I know of. I also checked at about 5pm, and 7802 was sitting in the yard and nothing was going on from what I saw.

Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
Just posting an update: "NS GP38-2 High Hood (5136) came in to Ottawa Yard today. Backed in with 5 cars off of the Detroit Line, went out with 7 autoracks. This was between 2:30pm and 3:30pm"
I will also note 7802 was sitting in the yard with their other engines, but they pulled it out for use a short bit later during my trip.

Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
An northbound train cleared Matzinger Rd a short bit after 5pm, all 4 AA locos (except 7802) were on this short 22 car train. Cleared Temperance around 5:20pm.
Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
4 units, possibably going to leave one at pittsfield jct, or just need 4 units for the train from GLC. I'll try and hear them later

Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
If AA is sending 4 units it may be a 90 car block or 65 car block plus other cars from today's southbound from Clare.Evan wrote:GLC has a grain train tonight for CSX.YpsiAmtrakBoy wrote:4 units, possibably going to leave one at pittsfield jct, or just need 4 units for the train from GLC.

Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
What power was on it? Just asking, as I caught 1337 come down to the yard all by itself and then they switched some autoracks including some brand new CSX ones. NS also is going to be taking a grain train out of the yard, but they didn't leave yet as of 4pm

Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
Sorry for not posting much for updates, it's been cold enough where it's being a challenge. 7802 was switching the plant earlier, 2368 was switching some cars in the yard and there was a NS SD40-2 sitting in there waiting to take out a load today.

Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
Just got a report that AA is running the last train as an independent shortline right now, I believe they left the yard about 7 minutes ago.
Re: Ann Arbor Railroad Tracker
Will look for them at Pittsfield, should have to wait ones switch the plant at the junction. Normally switch it after 8-9pm ish.
