Conrail GP40-2 #3066Conrail painted GP40-2 leads sequential sister GP40-2 #3067 and a 9 car B-1-G local westbound across the Kalamazoo River Bridge toward BO Tower. The switch in the foreground is the Harris Crossover. The tankcars go to Lawton and are the bread and butter of this westward run, while the single 50' boxcar is destined for Niles.

Santa Fe C44-9W #621Still decked out in original ATSF Warbonnet colors, BNSF C44-9W #621 leads a nearly new NS SD70M-2 #2676 and dead in tow NS (Conrail) GP40-2 #3004 from Jackson over the Kalamazoo River with mixed freight 39J. The train has just completed making their pickup from Botsford Yard and is now waiting for northbound 36E for Grand Rapids to clear Gibson so the switch can be realigned and they can proceed south. BNSF power has been fairly common on these trains recently. 39J had 86 cars in this March 31, 2006 photo. GP30M421607/13/12 at 23:00nssd70m-2: Nice Lashup!

Amtrak P42DC #30Amtrak Genesis P42DC #30 flashes west with a flurry of freshly fallen snow leading train 353, the Lake Cities, at West Botsford in Kalamazoo. At the west end of the yard, NS GP40-2s #3067 (Conrail paint) and #3068 idle away with a local train. The snow covered track to the left is the North Pass. Note that Amtrak #30 lacks a nose logo.

Conrail GP38-2 #5262Unusual "Operation Lifesaver" scheme GP38-2 #5262 mingles with other Conrail painted power on the old roundhouse leads at the west end of Kalamazoo's Botsford Yard in the morning sunshine. This is a bastion for Conrail painted GP40-2s, and this 38-2 adds some variety to the usual assortment of locomotives based here. It worked for a few weeks on local B-17 before being sent back to Elkhart and elsewhere on the NS System.

Conrail GP40-2 #3065A pair of familiar Conrail blue GP40-2s accelerate west from the View Crossover near Botsford Yard on the former Michigan Central mainline at Kalamazoo. This is local job B-1-G, which heads west on Tuesdays and Thursday for Lawton and Dowagiac. They have a healthy 13 car train today, with tankcars for Welch's in Lawton and boxcars and a lumber car for Ameriwood at Dowagiac. The bridge in the foreground crosses the Kalamazoo River.

CN GP9R #4618CN painted GP9R #4618 leads local job CN921, the Kalamazoo Switch Run, past the old crossbucks at the Division St. crossing in Kalamazoo, on the NS Upjohn Industrial. They had just picked up the Golden West Service boxcar from Arvco Containers, and are moving south to drop off the Railbox boxcar at LC Howard. On the rear is their caboose, GTW Wide Vision #79054. GP9R #4618 is a recent CN repaint and formerly sported GTW blue and red colors. A late season snow highlights the scene. April 11, 2007.GP30M421604/15/07 at 00:08Gregg Pullano: Nice crossbuck!!!
