Lake State paint color
I emailed Lake State Railway to ask what color blue they paint their locomotives. I received a very nice reply from Trista. She told me it’s called BFI Blue. I just cannot locate that color anywhere.

Re: Detroit & Mackinac
Thanks for that info. Was the line from Gaylord to Cheboygan the same sub as the Mackinac? And anyone else know about the line from Cheboygan to Mackinac City?

Detroit & Mackinac
I'm sure someone on here can answer this question for me. What were the names of the subdivisions on the Detroit & Mackinac? Wasn't one called the Mackinac sub?
And are they the same now with Lake State as they were with the D & M?
Thanks

I have searched thru this site but just can't seem to find the info I'm looking for. I thought there was a topic on here that already discussed t...

Some new photos of my layout progress. Finally have the E & LS Wells yard area tracks laid. Close to being accurate but not quite. Had to "freelance" a little. Also pictures of my entire E&LS locomotive roster.... http://railroadfan.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-62554 http://railroadfan.com/gall...
