Re: Hamilton Northwestern Railroad Co.
"I wonder why the railroad owns so much land here? Basically everyone who is next to the tracks is infringing on it in some way." Back in the day, Fillmore had a depot and a few other buildings and at least two tracks. So, the railroad had a larger tract of land for these buildings and tracks. While...

Re: Hamilton Northwestern Railroad Co.
Was on the south side of Holland today and trekked over to Fillmore Rd to see if there has been any activity on the HNW tracks. Still nothing after nearly a year. I hope that 2024 fares better for HNW with their awarded grant for improvement. Want to see this line active again....lots of history dat...

Re: Hamilton Northwestern Railroad Co.
I can see the interchange taking place at one of two places.
1) Runaround Track by Lumbermans/Sherwin Williams just northwest of Waverly.
2) CSX allows for rights to Waverly Yard like Michigan Shore.

Holland Ottawa Beach Spur question
Over past several months, I have not seen any box cars going to the end of this spur. It was TLC Storage, but now says Michigan Natural Storage (MNS) at the facility. I researched the property and ownership is still the same (since 2016), so maybe just leasing to a new storage facility or did MNS me...

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates September 2017
As for the Traverse City traffic...Amerhart is/has opened a location in Grand Rapids and I believe is along the Grand Elk. With this new location, I wonder if some of the loads that would have gone up to TC are now going to GR? Also, I believe only 3 hoppers were delivered/filled at Beacon Recycling...

Muskegon
I was in the Muskegon Area on Wednesday and noticed alot of shuttered areas where there used to be customers. In the last several years Michigan Shore has lost: Sappi Papermill as it's closed and nearly demolished; Nugent Sand is either done or near done; Sand at the Barry Junction seems inactive; F...

I think your first thought seems to be right as I was in TC yesterday and there was not a car at Beacon.TC Man wrote:Ah, wonder if they dropped the empty, went to Williamsburg, and then went back to Beacon to get the now loaded car, or did they drop an empty and pick up a load?

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates June 2017
Question: Did GLC go all the way to Grawn to switch around the gondola and bring back to the siding? If so that seems to be a long way out of the way. With the double track and switches by the depot you would think they could do the run around there. C&O A move like that would be a long backing and...

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates June 2017
Are the cars that were set out in Mount Plesant still there? Would welcome a customer in MP but thinking they are set out there for Rosebush or Shepherd? Anyone able to take a photo of them?

Re: 1225 75th Birthday Run
I've been trying to find where there are photos and/or videos from this run. Not in this tread, nor in the GLC or Trip threads either. Would welcome some photos and video.

Re: Holland spur upgrades by CSX
So I was out of town a few days and came back to see that all the tie replacement work seems to be done on both Ottawa Beach Spur and Hamilton branch to MP19. Question though...the Ottawa Beach spur still looks low on ballast. Are they going to come back and put more down? Are they awaiting until th...

Re: Holland spur upgrades by CSX
Drove by the Ottawa Beach spur on way home tonight and the crews were still busy working on it at 6:15pm. While there is more work to do, it looks aligned and pretty flat. Wonder what the speed will be when done? I think it had to be going a mere 5 mph before. Nice to see the old branch get some tlc...
