Re: Rails on the Road

So i saw these trucks, or a couple like them around 12Pm on I75 northbound in Bay City. they were spine like trailers and only had 1 or 2 sections of rail per trailer. I'd guess 50 to 60 foot lengths.

At least 4 AC44's have been sold to CP rail for parts. I wonder if the remains will be scrapped or sent to wabtec to be rebuilt like Cp's own AC units?

Re: CN SD60F Status?

The following is from the new loconotes group page and at least one of these units has been spotted in transit with ACWR reporting marks, as I questioned as to weather or not they were simply going into storage for someone. ACWR is ...

Re: Propsed Steel manufacturing in/near Durand

we have the room along the Saginaw river. Ships can bring in the iron ore, drop it here. i'm sure HESR wouldn't mind the haul from Bay City to Durand of the iron trains. Just a random thought.

Re: Michigan G&W Loco Roster News, Updates & Info Thread

I did a little updating on the HESR wiki page. the 2025 has recently had its electrical rebuilt. the cab still says GP38, but I have to believe they rebuilt her to GP38-3 standards... i might be wrong though. i haven't been able to ask anyone yet. 2026 is updated. Page 1 on here is badly wrong.
