Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - March 2024

Late report, but Grand Elk was Michigan-bound passing the Elkhart camera at 04:34 this morning. 3 units led by the WSOR SD40-2 and about 55 cars. I counted about 10 of those Thiele tank cars that bring the slurry up to Graphic Packaging. Has there been any increase in their railcar traffic since the...

Re: Holland Railfan Meet 7/12/23

I just don’t understand why anyone would even think to want to trespass at Waverly. Everyone always knows what power is assigned there because it is reported regularly on this board. With work radiating out on tentacle lines in every compass direction, it’s not hard to see the power or any rando int...

Re: Unidentified Alco road switcher/KLSC passenger car.

Yes! Always fun to solve a rolling stock mystery and even better when that mystery doesn’t conclude in a scrap yard. Not much Michigan Central equipment survives. I don't know what the Elkhart museum’s plans are long term but there does seem to be a concerted effort to get a few pieces of rolling st...
