NOW that they have scrap their little rail trolley circuit, think they might want to reconnect tracks or leave it cutoff and redevelop their little patch of Grassing Running RR ROW? SRI & GLC are planning another trip this fall up there. It was a real disservice to them by not bringing the train all...

I'll Say "2nd That", for ODOT/NS for Rehabbing the old N&W Peavine Line. Before the line went OOS (Out Of Service), the Ford Batavia Plant was the last large customer that used the line. Autoracks/Automotive Boxcars were common sight. Also was a regular run during the old NS Steam days to see NW 611...

AMTK 355 will have the same extra passenger cars, it was part of an Inspection Train.

Amtrak Lakeshore route should be following the old NYC-PC Mercury route. Following Michigan Line stops should be the following: KZoo, BC, JAX, AA, DBN. No DET stop, DBN will supplement it, because its closest stop to the city. No need to detour train up the New Center station.

Is Delray Tower All Finished? I was just by there last saturday with my friends. Saw a young girl and gentlemen working tower that day.

The old MCRR ROW past there, isn't good shape and is in need of a total overhaul. At this time Re-Double-Tr...

Clear NS Oakwood Yard (Allen Park). Huge crowd behind Thunderbowl. Enroute to Chicago on Wabash. Clearing Taylor, Romulus, Belleville, Rawsonville, Willis, & Milan. All points SW MI to Butler.

CP Holiday Train should be wrapping up soon over at Windsor Yard in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Not sure how long they will get thru U.S. Customs Check and NS Oakwood Yard stoppage. Might stop briefly behind the Thunderbowl and finally onwards to Chicago via Wabash & Lakeshore Lines.

More of a sighting than an update, saw a NS MOW train parked over in Dearborn at the Townline Jct./Advance Departure Yard. Historically where the RBBB Circus Train usually parks, when near to Detroit.

Here we go again with CP Merger/Takeover talks. Last go around it was CP & CSXT. NOW it's CP & NS. Once again, when it comes to any merger talks, commodities are the driving force behind any merger to occur right now. Me thinking personally, it's around Big Oil especially Canadian Oil Sands. I'm und...

Just awesome work by ASR so far. It's wonderful to see RDG 2100 getting another chance a life again. At least it will be closer to home. The steamer was in Ohio & Ontario area eh while back. 1st thing is to get 2100 prep/loaded back to the eastern shore of the Mississippi. ASR could always perform s...
