CN Munising branch

This weekend I'm going to be camping in the Newberry area and have a few questions about Canadian National's line through there. First how often do trains run through there and is there any set time they run? And second does anyone know of good photo spots? Thanks to all who reply. :D

Re: Most interesting and why?

Mine would most definetly be the Denver, Rio Grande, and Western. With it's storied history, long freights, famous passenger trains (California Zephyr), and spectacular scenery it has to be one of my favorites. It's also in an exclusive club of smaller roads that took over a larger one (the Southern...

Re: GLC in TC -HEADS UP AGAIN!

Thanks AARR and MQT3001. I enjoyed your pics, TC17. Thanks for posting. You may be a little young to remember but around 10 years ago 5 cars a week from the lumber yard was normal and 10-15 car trains from Traverse City were alos common. That is when TSBY also had juice and scrap metal traffic. Yeah...
