Those must have been the 2 RA units I saw in Reese this morning as I was passing through.

Is 301 the train that goes to Grayling? Based on what I know, 302/301 is the BC Pinconning Turn, 303/304 is Pinconning Grayling Turn. Traffic from Bay City North Yard goes out on 301 to Pinconning, where it is divided up between the Mackinac Sub and Huron Sub, 304 would come down from Grayling inte...

LSRC 301 left Wennona Yard in Bay City at 7:10 with 1171 and 20 cars Is 301 the train that goes to Grayling? From what I understand 302 is Pinconning to BC, 301 is BC to Pinconning. Or whatever LSRC uses for the symbol. Paul, I believe the 3826 is the one that is now the 2025, per the HESR Fan site.

Few trains in Saginaw: HESR 740? With the NECR 3852, and what I believed to be 2014 was working Gennesse yard. LSRC Z127 With more CSX Power looked ready to head south soon. CSXT 113 and a YN3 ES40DC Was the power. Anyone know why LSRC is using CSX power like crazy? Runthrough Power on Grain Trains...

That fire was a month ago. Why would it still be causing backups. Can't they use track warrants, or talk the trains by the signals? If the signals are not functioning, can't the dispatcher give the trains authority past the signals if the track ahead is clear? Not sure how those things work, but it...

So, here is video of the 1721 on 740 yesterday (5-23-13). Glad to see this guy back in service. There are a lot of changes coming it seems, gonna be very interesting around here, it already is getting that way. I also got some shots of the renumbered units, I will try and reference in future videos ...

The Z126 was northbound across M-25 at 11:30am with LSRC 2052 solo.

So that was the unit I heard today, heard them while doing a job over by the fairgrounds, had an interesting sounding horn.

Here is HESR 1721, formerly MNN 1471 at Stae St in Bay City, MI https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/942719_10151679369414993_81262248_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/923349_10151679369434993_1868818425_n.jpg NECR 3852 working the 810 job in Reese this evening: ht...

701 this evening, taken at Marquette Ave, Bay City, MI

Mostly Dow traffic.

HESR 2661 is solo on an empty coal train, cleared Bay City around 1AM. WGCR 9519 and HESR 8802 just returned to Bay City about 10 min ago, they should be just about to Wenona Yard by now.

HESR 8802 and WGCR 9519 were on the Midland Job tonight, they made a set out in Auburn and should be currently in Midland right now.

LSRC 800 and 1164 were both long-hood forward coming into Bay City this morning with the Z126 Job. They went back south with the 1174 and 1169. I would assume that the 800 and 1164 are going north on 301.

WGCR 9519 and CMGN 2014 just brought in the Durand Turn to Wenona Yard about a half hour ago, most of it bound for Midland.

Video from Yesterday: http://youtu.be/0ik9BJlKpu0 Well done Justin! Especially the location around the 5:20 mark. Noticed one of those tank cars has the extended railings on top (like are often on LPG tank cars but this was a 54'). I see those often in Gaylord at the oil terminal. LOL. At 5:20, tha...

Lemme guess, and five cars

Nope, they had roughly 30 to 40 cars. You will be able to count them once I get the video uploaded.

LSRC's Flint Job had CSX power northbound out of Flint this afternoon, caught them at Clio, Birch Run, and Bridgeport and will upload video when published. They had CSX 5491, 8536, LSRC 1162, 1177, 1171, and 2052 for power.

Heard HESR 2668 coming south out of Wenona Yard and then heading east across the bridge about an hour and a half ago. Looks like there will be a southbound empty coal train tonight.
