Re: CN Lake Orion Sub - The end finally???
I think if there is any hope at all, GM Lake Orion is really going to need to produce a large quantity of vehicles, and be sustainable at that level for the foreseeable future to even have a chance that rail service will return. Significant investment will be required to restore the line North of Fe...

New Ties along the Lake State Railroad in Holly
Early this week, Lake State dropped lots and lots ties from downtown Holly, North through the Grange Hall Road Crossing. I do not know how far North of Grange Hall Road or how far South of Holly the new ties extend, maybe someone else knows. On the way to church on Sunday April 21st, the new ties we...

Re: Hobo Shoestring is missing.
He will be missed. I often wondered if he ever got caught - the risk sure is high riding the rails - my assumption is straight to jail if caught (no warnings)! Of course, the physical risk exists as well - always being around moving equipment and railcars and such, but if he was going to do it anywa...

Re: New siding-business in Traverse City???
Yes, I believe this is an April Fools joke.
"Michigan" voted - who voted exactly? When and where did they vote? Where is the news release/link to such a vote? Where is the cited quote coming from? Etc., etc.
Too many questions in my mind to be something credible lol.

Re: New siding-business in Traverse City???
I thought I would sit back and wait until someone provided additional information directly from a reputable source, and it would seem that a GLC employee would be in the know relating to this most recent development. The bottom line here (and I think we can all agree) is that additional rail service...

A Southbound 280-type train just cleared Linden at 6:10pm with 2 CNs and all autoracks. Sorry no car count.
This is the first Southbound all autorack train I've seen in a while.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
Not that anyone probably cares, but regarding my comment from earlier today, of course that was train 116 - duh (on my part).
I have no idea why I thought it may have been an extra.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
Speaking of Extras...Southbound Intermodal train by Linden at 10:48am. Not sure if this is a very early 508 or what? Not even sure if the whole train was intermodal, but what I saw of it, it was. Sorry, I'm not much help on this one.

Just like I said...the amazing Mike H!!
Of course we realize the word "potential" is being used here, but let's hope the new business materializes and CN buys in.

When was the last time Baraga actually had a rail served customer? I have always wondered about that.
