Re: Michigan Grades
I feel a compulsory need to include Boon Hill on the old Ann Arbor, inactive now and certainly not the steepest, but worthy of mention!

Re: Train traffic in Upper Sandusky
Non-railfans see a train any time they see tracks. Railfans see tracks more than trains. That's just the way of the world

Re: Plymouth Train app for blocked streets
So this'll actually be a useful tool for fanning in the area, potentially. We just need it to tell us which route the train is taking

Re: NS Peavine talk
I thought I'd chime in briefly, I've only been to the CCET once and was expecting some rude (or at least ignoring) crews. I tried to stay out of the way and give them space, and in return they told me what was in store for the day, and some good spots. They had no issue with me hanging around...as l...

Re: Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad
Thank you for posting Pie! Nice video. Anyone know the heritage and history of those 3 engines? For anyone interested in catching them, it seems like if you show up at or before 5:00am at High Yard in Parkersburg, they go on duty around then. Here's a video from my chase yesterday, to give an idea ...

Re: Michigan shortline update: March 2020
This is late and won’t help anyone, but maybe it’s good for future reference. LSRC 6355 and 6352 left Wixom at 7:47am for Flint, and I later caught 6351 and 6302 heading south through Holly at 11:00 (and they presumably arrived in Wixom sometime after). This was my first time ‘chasing’ on this line....

Re: CSX Train Locations Updates December 2019
CSX Q328 by Williamston @ 8:38 AM CSX 31 CSX 5249 Only 39 cars on Q328. Q329 not called until 10:30, so early to mid PM for Howell. If 328 gets to Detroit fast enough, the power on it can come right to GPR on 329 like the last three days. There will be no Q328 or Q329 on Christmas Day. After Q328 w...

Re: NS West Virginia Secondary-Columbus Oh to Alloy WV
Other than a few NS coal trains loaded at Buckingham a couple years ago, the only traffic there was Ohio Central, not exactly a crippling blow to the KNWA. They still make pretty good time for constant 25mph on the Ohio Side, though there are definitely some slow orders around.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
Q32814 went east by Howell at 11:48 with CSX 832+5237 and 107 cars. Evidently Pie39 wasn't here to see it, or at least didn't report it. The already reported many times Q32914 went by Howell at 08:06 with its single unit 860 and moving right along well at track speed with its 83 cars. Every time th...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - July 2019
I caught 329 at South Lyon around 7:30 with 860 solo. Was told 328 left GR an hour ago or so...any idea how long that’d be to Howell? I’m hanging out at the signal bridge in town.

Re: Kanawha River Railroad
Typically, 381 leaves Hobson Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday around midday, they usually go on duty at 10am or so. 380 is similar on the opposite days (nothing runs Saturday), but they have to work with NS to get out of the yard, so it can be into the evening. All of this is potentially off if there's a coa...

More or less on topic. I’m going to drive up tomorrow morning to catch the Cadillac turn, is there any snow?
Thanks!

They're switching the GR&I yard now. I'm guessing they'll go north, I'll try to update when they leave.
