Re: CN Lake Orion Sub - The end finally???

It looks like the loading docks will be moved to the east side of the campus, if it ever gets rail service again or even builds vehicles.

Re: Great Lakes and Ohio River Railroad

Would you rather work for FORD or GM?
It used to be Ford now it probably doesn’t matter because they are both Woke.

Would you rather get around on roller blades or roller skates?

My guess is the Anderson's in Hemlock would be the second largest. The "fueling terminal" is an asphalt distributer. Last I heard they receive about 250 cars a yea...

You were less than a mile from my mom's house and where I grew up. Yet, I never watched a train at that intersection from that corner so it was cool to see. Nice video.

Re: MMRR to cease operations in 2025?

Does Ceres infrequently (once or twice a year) receive fertilizer? Is there any traffic in Fremont on the Michigan Shore? I believe Ceres Solutions moved all rail operations to White Cloud. Did they every transload lumber again? I believe currently the three main customers for MS are: Webb Chemical ...

From afar because bridge work doesn’t excite me but if it were to watch them switching a customer spur I’d brave the ticks (and everything else) Would you rather have to always ...
