RailRoadFan.com

I just made it on because there was no railfan group on Facebook for Lake state. plus Its easier to use on mobile when giving heads up and quick info.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/4544276 ... =bookmarks I made this group on Facebook a few years ago its been pretty dead from the lack of members on there. So i'm just sharing in a few places to get more members. Thanks

Yeah pretty much the newest customer here. Now Alpena has Stone,Lumber,Cement,Flyash,Liquid animal feed and hard board. I think I seen you around but not sure it was you?

I was wonder if D&M had more than the two round houses other than Alpena and Tawas. Was there in Any in Bay City?

There loading Cant's or untreated rr tie's on center beams here in Alpena and there box cars here again. Looks like fly ash has stopped again. But stone is doing good.

Yeah I look at prices for lens I'm not gonna buy more any time soon. i'm not gonna pay $1,000+ for just for one lens lol Its gonna Interfere with my firearms funds lol Plus i gotta do some work on my truck too. I might get one in time just not now.

I have a Canon rebel T3 DSLR I have the normal kit lens and the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II Telephoto Zoom Lens. I was wondering what would be a good next step up from the 55-250mm. when I do wild life shots sometimes the animals or objects are just to far away to get a good close crisp pict...

Thanks for all the useful info every body!

Haha thats funny

My speculation are correct again about taking stone from the Primary crusher crushing the stone bypassing the secondary crusher feeding the one stock pile for the lower level. Ok there still hauling stone from Lafarge in Presque isle to feed the Stock pile that comes from the upper level too and hau...

I was looking at Michigan railroad lines book Cement plant had clay bed's north of town. D&M had the line to it called Avery branch. The clay beds are a lake called Middle lake. It was Just south of Rock Port. You can see it on Google earth.

Its possible they could buy some they would build a road from one quarry to the other. The D&M and early LSRC used to shuttle stone on the Hillman branch to the main line from Paxton quarry to Cement plant before they closed the quarry and ripped up the tracks They abandon the tracks in 98 and i thi...

Well they do have those massive rock trucks...I'm sure they can bring rock up from down in the quarry that way of need be... That raw rock is to big it first goes threw the primary crusher where you see the haul trucks dump stone in it get's put in the first pile in the pit than it's goes in the se...

Production is still running My my speculation are correct they are getting gravel trucked in from Lafarge stone quarry in Presque Isle,MI dumped into the one stock piles While the conveyor is down. What Im guessing they are going to rebuild the conveyor and maybe replace the building depends what ex...

Not sure how many days the stock piles will last or affect production. There's two piles. One pile its the upper level the other pile is the lower level. They switch levels every other day the reason they keep the piles separate because the quality of the limestone is different. Then they feed the b...

The Conveyor system comes from the quarry goes to the plant caught on fire in the morning.http://www.truenorthradionetwork.com/in ... arge-fire/
