Re: Soon to be new industry on Holly Sub in Waterford Township?

They are moving from 32717 Hollingsworth Ave in Warren. Oddly enough, Conrail runs behind it. No rail service there. They do have an intermodal service but I've never seen a Dayton Freight semi-trailer riding the rails. I've never seen a Dayton Freight container either. Dayton Freight doesn’t use i...

Re: Romulus diamond closed to railfans

Can you still park at the bank? Yes. Generally I sit over by Bibbins and then look at the signals for the CSX. If I hear something on the scanner on NS I’ll go to the bank. But of the two the CSX is much spottier for scanner reception. I’ve yet to see the CP cop anywhere in person. I saw an NS cop ...

Re: Operations of N&W Tecumseh Branch

Looking at these maps and then the Michigan Railroads maps of Lenawee County and Monroe country raises more questions. I know the original DT&I line, as the Detroit and Lima came up through Wauseon, Ohio, then comes across the border to a location alongside or near the Wabash/N&W/NS line southwest ...

Northbound CSX Grain train went by Carleton at 4:55 pm today, CSX 153 and 530. Unsure on symbol or destination.
I believe it was for the LSRC. They were talking about a cab at Pontiac Trail which would be Wixom.

Re: Romulus CSX Derailment

Not saying it wasn’t track, but “ugly is not a defect” and trains can handle a good deal of bad surface before anything gets remotely close to happening. Most often things are fixed well before they’re close to being a safety or speed issue because deterioration is much more of an exponential decay...

I wonder how it derailed though 🤔 🤔🤔
Based on what I see every time I see a train roll through there I have my suspicions....
I was gonna guess that switch for the north end of the double track. There was also some pretty good rocking going on south of there lately.

Re: Romulus CSX Derailment

Both mains have significant damage to them. Main 2 completely severed and the crossover at Sibley was wiped out, but somehow the wrecked cars missed the crossover and rolled to the west side of the main. The damaged track goes all the way to the diamond at Romulus. There are slab loads along Sibley...
