Re: CSX Train Location Updates - Oct 2024

I didn’t see if they brought any cars east, but they were westbound arriving at Zeeland about 10:15 this morning with their GP38-2 2680. 13 cars included: a GBRX tankcar, 4 gons (JT...

Re: Railfan gift.

Since my last post I sprayed clear coat on the rail to protect it from rust which made it a little bit darker in color. It is now in it's final resting place waiting for a display table. Above the rail is a picture of the Grand Rapids Holland and Chicago interurban car that rolled over this very pie...

Since we still dont have a Bangor cam sadly, can we post the Holland Cam link address instead. I'm not that fancy to find it.

Has anything been delivered to the Fremont area of late? Any traffic from the Berry area?
I'm not sure about Fremont but I know the sand loading at Berry has slowed down considerably judging by what I see on L301.

Stand on a standard scale without and with the rail. The difference is its weight.

It looks beautiful!

What does it weigh?
I'm not exactly sure I didn't weigh it but I can tell you it's heavy as hell. I think that it's 60 or maybe 75 pound rail and the section I have is 3'7" long.
I do have a scale but it only weighs out grams and ounces. lol

Railfan gift.

A friend of mine recently gave me a section of rail from the Grand Rapids Holland and Chicago. It was pretty rusty and had been spray painted with silver paint so I took it and had it sandblasted and I must say it came out pretty good. What is really cool about this section of rail is that it has al...
