Re: West Michigan RR Abandonment Petition Coming

To bring in more business and expand?

The track ends just shy of 56th street. Its just under a mile between 681 and end of track. Technically anything East of 681 is considered Lawrence.

Re: New hobby shop - Troy, MI

Not surprised one bit. I stopped by in April last. The prices were just that - insane. I mean, Old Bluebox locomotives, for 50+ or better... Not a thing was marked down there. They did have a decent supply selection though.

I am not really sure who told you that one, but that cant be further from the truth.

Re: CN Derailment in Port Huron Tunnel

You are making a lot of very unfair assumptions. No one knows the cause of the derailment yet & it's probably more like than not that the DP unit had absolutely nothing to do with the derailment. CN has been running DP through the tunnel for a couple years now, (I would be one who would actually kn...

Re: CN Derailment in Port Huron Tunnel

All CN RR freight trains stops in Port Huron or Sarnia to change crews since they are Port Huron based. That freight train that derailed in the tunnel this past Friday morning were operated by a London, ON train and engine crew. Not true. Pretty common to have trains go through to Sarnia. Battle Cr...
