Re: EMD Questions

Look closely and there are arrows next to engine oil and water. There is also a note on the frame for the air compressor. I'd hazard a guess it's guiding workers who know nothing about locomotives in the general direction where these things were before scrapping started. Years ago I installed two 8,...

Several years ago they proposed increasing the width and depth of the channel through the Weland Canal so ocean going container ships being obs...

Re: Where Is It?

If David leaves from Ferris it is roughly 235 miles south and a bit west. In 1837 or 38 a canal reached the town. The canal route past a couple blocks north of where the diamonds are today though no trace remains. The town derives part of it's name from having been served by the canal. The train is ...

Re: Where Is It?

Re: Where Is It?

Not Michigan. A class one crossing a former class one in a city that in the past was twice a transportation center.

Talk - it's that whole 'cant take photos of critical infrastructure' bit that they don't want you doing. The supreme court has ruled, where there is a message and an audience, photography is a form of free speech protected by the first amendment. If you are lawfully in a public space you can photog...

I was told on Tuesday the Plant would not re-open and is now Permanently Closed.
The equipment has been sold to Amsted Rail who are looking at moving it to Granite City IL or a facility in Mexico.

Re: Where Is It?

Very good. Kalamazoo heading west. They have turned off the main and would be going to the old freight house across from the depot of the South Haven Branch. My bet based on the number of cars is out the South Haven Branch.
