So his hostile take over attempt of the SMRS was to revitalize the line and ship North. Who was he hoping to ship too.

Is it on Tracks or just sitting in a field?

What is the point of a trolley system vs. a bus Whether a large network such as Detroit use to be or Newark is today or a small network like we are building now, what is the advantages of a Trolley over a wheeled vehicle and the advantages of light rail which is really hot now vs. commuter rail. As ...

So where are the non museum but still active turntables in Michigan. I know Saginaw has one and the Pontiac Yard has one but is never used.

I am planning on going in January so I will have less vegetation to deal with. This looks great. It is either this line or the line to Avoca.

Ok I got it. It looks like south of Croswell another line crossed this line going Northwest/southeast.

Why did turn tables and roundhouses fall out of favor in railroading. If they could handle big steam why could they not handle diesel. What roundhouses/turntables are still in use?

AARR I am having trouble identifying the line to Croswell near Port Huron. Is there a town near Port Huron where it went through.

I think I found the trail. It looks to me like there is an intact spur between Avaco and Yale. but it does not connect to anything active. It think this is where your man made pond is.

Sorry, as far west as Lansing

I am planning a January Southeast Michigan (Port Huron, Durand, Ann Arbor, Detroit area) hike. I need an abandoned rail line that has not been all made over and can still have some awesome artifacts on it, has nice scenery in January, and is not to rugged. I was thinking the Wahdam to Avaco trail bu...

This is for the railroad workers out there. I know in the nose of most locomotives including the GP 9's and 38's there is a bathroom . In the old F 7's it used to be in the back of the locomotive but now it is in the front. So my question is, when you are moving and in operation and you gotta go... ...

Bay City Branch, Rochester Michigan 1940-50's. Love to see my home town before it became a yuppie fest

Station 882 or 885 is also good and the bar is right by the tracks.

them are ugly locomotives

I thought Canadians loved regional rail travel more than American. Why are they having funding issues?

So is VIA trying to build high speed rail like we are. How fast did the train average in speed. I am assuming you have a speedometer app on your cell, so as to be able to answer such questions.

So how scary is the area to explore and walk around in. Also any schedule of activities.

Made it about six miles from Thompsonvill before the trail was too covered in water from the rain. Sorry Robert I did not call you but I left my cell phone at the cabin. The trail from Interlochen to Thompsonville is devoid of any artifacts except some ties and a bolt I found. I am hoping for a bett...

Whoa a Canadian Railroad still uses F7's for revenue frieght. Excuse me as I wipe the foam off my Key Board. Where exactly is this and how do I get there from Detroit. Also when do they run.
