Re: CN Derailment in Port Huron Tunnel

Is there even an investigation? I thought they only did those if there was loss of life or a significant environmental oops.

LC Howard in Kalamazoo. I think it is Cottonseed they get in woodchip cars.

Graphic Packaging/Treehouse in Battle Creek is switched by CN only as far as I know. Never, ever seen NS switching those.

Re: CN Michigan Customers

LC Howard sure has/had a lot of locations. Do you know if they are still using the old James River plant on the nor...

Stone typically does not move this time of year anyway, as you cant unload it if it freezes.

Re: East Lansing to join list of unstaffed Amtrak stations i

Amtrak MI service is glorified commuter service. NYCTA, LIRR, MN, NJT, PATH, Metra, CTA and every other commuter agency I can think of does just fine without having staffed stations and ticket machines/online aps/ onboard fares. Hate to see jobs, go, but its 2018. Get over it. Same goes for toll col...
