Hulcher just headed down Gier st to Ensel, unloading what looks to be two side booms

Eddie Gross here, I live in Lansing, mostly read along, don't post much

Friedland loading scrap Friday afternoon

ADBF had a hirail on the tracks at Friedland today. several workers were watching the crossing on Grand River ave

Visited Caro today, building in question is MC Freight Depot.
Thanks to all for input

Far as I can see, only 1 unit there, it's in the back, no access, can't see marks

another pic. 539, was 3539

Could the white depot looking building on the left possibly be the MC freight depot then?
According to this 1909 Sanborn map, it was approximately where the 4 large elevator silos are now.

sorry, "stone yard" was meant to reference the yard where the stones are, ie the Stoneco Facility, not a yard named "Stone Yard"

Stone yard in just north of Ensel on MLK Blvd. There is also a trackmobile that has been there for a while. The GP may have not been used recently, NS units are there,just drove by

I bought this slide dated March 1978.
Can anyone help with the location. I haven't been able to identify the building on the left.
a depot or freight house
Thanks

I have seen the nails for sale at swap meets.
Where would they most likely be in a tie?
Should I be looking on the end, or in the top facing up?
thanks

Have never found one,or seen one in a tie.
I always like to look at the old ties when on a rail-trail.
where exactly on the tie should I be looking?
Thanks

It does appear to be sitting on a short piece of tracks

Caboose is in same spot, beside their house. The trees have just grown up around it, I imagine when the leaves come out it will be a lot more hidden.

Caboose near Manchester I thought to be gone, was just hiding in the bushes

Just a Lansing note (not boxcar)
They have the road blocked at JAIL crossing North St @Turner, either removing or repairing the tracks there.
as of last night, it looked like the rails were still there.
If repairing, I would assume they are going to finally start service Friedland??

I'm working on updated captive Michigan caboose list
