MQT plans to retire 3389 and 3391 this year, would not be surprised if HESR also elects to retire 3390.

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
Yet again, I was late by 20 minutes and got trackside after the train passed. I’m seeing what looks like 2 boxcars on the Padnos spur track / siding south of 44th St and north of 50th St Gordon Food Services Truck depots. Probably delivered by Grand Elk 303 or another local 303 does not switch any ...

Re: New Ties along the Lake State Railroad in Holly
From what I have seen from Lake State, they are about as first class as you can get in railroading. I had my doubts when they first began, but really have proved to be a winner. New track, new customers, good service, a great paint scheme, cannot ask for much more. The only sad issue was the end of...

Re: CSX head on collision in Folkston, Georgia
From what I'm reading and hearing from the scanner archive posted by the Folkston Train Watching group, the MOW guys reported the switches were lined and locked for both trains to proceed on opposite mains, when in reality they were not.

Re: The return of gypsum near Alabaster for Lake State.
Yes. When Cap Pinkerton Jr took over in the 70s, reinvestment into the physical plant stopped. By the late 80s, a decade of virtually no maintenance had taken its toll.
