Re: FRA issues emergency shutdown order for Oklahoma shortline due to a complete lapse in safety

This is a state owned line. Wonder how many boxes this group checked off on the "inclusivity" scale to get the operating contract?

302 just rolled through Elmdale. Horn is really carrying tonight. Three miles away and sounded like it was in my backyard.

Re: GRE Grand Rapids Eastern (Lowell)

They used to park cars north of M21/Main St but I don't recall seeing anything there in quite a while. Always kind of curious why they didn't put a switch in where the tracks dead end south of Foreman so they could run around a set of cars.
