Re: Holland Railfan Meet 7/12/23

You can easily, and legally, photograph trains at West Olive as they are leaving the plant. No one is going to chase you away from the Hiawatha Drive crossing.

Re: Fun Friday TLU Poll

I've been interested in why CSX plays such a big role on this site. It's always got the most updates from the widest group of people on TLU and it has by far the most detailed and up to date train symbols list on the wiki. It just kind of worked out that way. Definitely wasn't intentional, I don't ...

Re: Where Is It?

Old Kelvinator plant on Clyde Park? On the track/branch that used to run from the end of the City Market spur to Burton on the GDLK(NYC). One leg ran on the west end of the property and tied into the old interurban RoW. The other ran on the east side where you can still see rail in the parking lot,...

Re: Where Is It?

Somewhere in west Michigan. Old spur running into the building probably hasn't been used in my lifetime (I'll be 57 this year). Rails are also buried in the parking lot running along the drive to the left.

I'm sure this is probably an easy one for some people here. :)

Frozen frosted brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts are the bomb! Meh. Frosted raspberry fresh out of the toaster for me. :D https://www.poptarts.com/en_US/products/all-flavors/pop-tarts-frosted-raspberry-product.html Neither. Strawberry. Definitely strawberry second when raspberry isn't available.

Re: Legendary Farmington Hills arcade to be torn down

First time hearing of MMMM was on Facebook yesterday. Sounds like a really cool place and I don't how its existence has eluded me all my life, especially since I've driven by it or ridden by it in a car dozens of times in my life.

Awesome photo JT
Thanks. I randomly arrived at Trowbridge and put my drone up in the air a minute before the EB BNSF train arrived...and I had no idea there was CSX train waiting to cross the diamond. Score! (terrible lighting, though)

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work

The EB signals for both lines are close enough to the diamonds that they won't be in the way of the reconstruction. CSX's is on the south-side of the tracks, so with a likelihood of construction trucks and etc possibly/probably using that lot to get in and out as needed, they won't have to pass by ...

Take a moment to yourself and have a rational thought. Do you REALLY think if this happened your "buddy" would be the first one telling you, instead of seeing that info posted here first by those in the know?

Come on, don't be so naive.
