Re: Online Radio Streaming

I'm not sure about SE Michigan, but Railstream.biz has some audio feeds. I think they have Fostoria, Durand, Selkirk, and Detroit.

I find resteraunts and stuff by either looking at the signs on the freeways, or checking the internet in advance.

Q321 went by Grand Blanc at about 4:20 this afternoon. It just had a CSX and HLCX for power today. No CMGN's on it.

Re: CSX train location updates 2/3/12

Watching Q335 when it was on the Plymouth Sub must've looked like the old days with the CP and the CEFX on it.

Re: RailAmerica buys Marquette

Looking at Google Maps, RailAmerica will have to rebuild across a parking lot in White Cloud and through a golf course in Fremont if they do rebuild, unless it's possible to build around the parking lot and golf course. And it's kinda hard to tell, but in Fremont it looks like someone might have par...

I'll probably be looking for Q321 this afternoon, so if I see it, I'll post an update once I get home. :)

Re: CMGN/HESR GE's

I'm not sure about when it leaves Flint, and I'm not sure if your going to be in the Grand Blanc/Burton area, but the last few times I caught Q321 in Burton or Grand Blanc, it went through at about 4:30p.m. or 5:30p.m., although yesterday it went through Grand Blanc around 6:40p.m..

Busy evening in Grand Blanc

This evening I went to the doctor's on Holly Road on the south side of Grand Blanc. The place is right across from the road from the tracks. When I arrived, there was a northbound CSX coal train just sitting next to the Holly Road crossing, and it's power was CSX 75 and 59. For awhile, it just sat t...

Re: Saginaw Sub Questions

On one of those links, it said that Q214 and Q228 had intermodal on them. I guess they were refering to the TOFC, or I'm understanding wrong.

Re: Saginaw Sub Questions

I've always wondered why the engines that used to be parked in Grand Blanc eventually disappeared. I used to watch them switch the yard in Grand Blanc at Physicians(?) Park.

Re: Saginaw Sub Questions

Yeah, my dad once told me about how when he used to go to Milford in the 90's to catch turtles and things next to the tracks, that there was usually quite a few trains that used to go by while he was there. I wonder if Lake State would take better care of the business on the line if they ever bought...

Re: Saginaw Sub Questions

I remember how in the early 2000's I used to see D737 all the time. Back then I took it for granted when I saw it because it ran more frequently, but now it's kind of a treat whenever I see it.

Re: Saginaw Sub Questions

Thanks! I guess if the local only runs one day a week down to Holly, it makes sense that I haven't seen it in a while.
