I thought I read somewhere that they are trying to get GTW 4906, which has been in the area, to lash up with it so that it won’t have to run long hood forward.

Northbound racks and boxes mostly by Royal Oak 14:00, BNSF 7128 7622, had a hotbox near end of train. Train stopped, have to cut the car out for stuck brake, is okay to proceed north when that's done.

This train is stopped with the power just north of the Maple Road viaduct at 3:04pm.

I have to agree with most of the replies on this thread. It sure does seem like there are a lot more buyers than sellers these days. I don't know how many of you all went to the show in Lansing a few weeks ago but I can tell you, it was packed! You could barely move through the aisles at times. Of c...

Cool link! Thanks David.

Yes, I am going to check it out. Don’t know much about it but I heard about it from a dealer I know at the Livonia show last Saturday. The show in Saline next weekend is usually a pretty big show worth attending.

Quick question for any of the more knowledgeable Holly Sub rail fans out there; I caught a train at Watkins Lake Road today heading north leaving Pontiac. The power was GTW 4929 and EJE 658 with 58 cars (mostly empty racks and i beam cars). I know it wasn't 503 because I saw 503 an hour later. Does ...

I too wanted to see the circus train. I've only seen it once before and it was real late at night going through Birmingham. I spent a while cruising between Pontiac and Lake Orion today. I saw the flat cars being loaded up at the Giddings Road grade crossing. They were finished loading early this af...
