Re: How many trains go through Ypsilanti
I hope you don't mind a slow predictable pace of train action, but the answer is 6 or 8. For Amtrak check whatever day you're going with Amtrak's track a train or tickets. Trains get through Ypsi either 10 mins before arriving in ARB westbound or about 10 minutes after departing EB. M-Th this summe...

Re: GLC Train Location Updates - April 2024
My friend at SRI also heard the rumors but hasn’t confirmed it. It has come to my attention today that GLC now has a dispatcher contracting company doing their dispatching. When did this take effect? I heard that rumor to, I heard it’s due to them being contracted out due to them not “filling in sp...

Out of the Corridor ID and other state programs, which passenger line in your opinion will happen in 5 years or less
With the Corridor ID coming out a few weeks ago, as well as other states starting to fund trains, which one out of all of them could happen in 5 years in less. In my opinion they are A2TC (Ann arbor to Traverse City MI) NYC-Scranton All of North Carolina trains Virginia commonwealth corridor Brightl...

With how everything is going with these engines I wouldn't be surprised if this happens to them. I can see the GP35 being pushed down to Yard jobs or small local trains (Cadillac-Mcbain, any trains north of Cadillac, Ashley to Middleton, etc), with how many times these engines have been on the sidel...

Re: MDOT/GLC Manistee Bridge gets federal funding
Hopefully this bridge remodel will allow 1225 to go north to Petoskey and TC, and what I heard, more shipments could go north as well, so the possibility of new customers on the line. Sounds like a good next couple of years for business in Northern Michigan

Busiest line in Colorado?
Hi, I’m trying to railfan around Colorado, and I was wondering, which branch line is the busiest? I’m also interested in seeing Amtrak too.

Re: SRI's North Pole Express - 2023
Bro says he finally got to #1 in line, showed the available seats, and everything is sold out except for single seats in different cars, no group of 3 seats together for his family. Crazy how quickly that sells out. Me thinks they might want to start a couple mid-week runs if they can manage it, or...
