Re: EMD Questions

I still think it was a missed opportunity to not number the 6 axles 400-404.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
Y106 east by CH 146 in Kentwood, 2 GP40-3s and the longest train I have seen them with in a while: 8 loaded gons from Beacon Recycling, 7 tanks for Plaines, and a buffer gon. I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but Plaines LPG in Alto wants to go to a twice daily switch. The plan is (once ...

Re: Carleton, MI railfan meet
Why start so late? Whether 1 or 100 foamers show up, the host should arrive around sunrise.

Empty coal train coming up to the Holland depot, executive MAC and csx helpers on the back end! Does that MAC still have its nose logo? It does indeed still have the logo! Well, not "really". It's one of the few that has had a logo re-applied by some foamer employees with a stencil and some spray p...
