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.

Re: NS Michigan Customers
LC Howard in Kalamazoo. I think it is Cottonseed they get in woodchip cars.

Re: CN Michigan Customers
LC is on the old lumber yard spur. Cool, thanks. Good to see that spur is getting used again. Last time I saw lumber received there was probly around 2000, before the place closed up. 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...

NS typically follows behind Amtrak at around 1230-1 in the afternoon. The night train is usually around 0030-0100 through Augusta.

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...

Re: CR bridge hit by ship !
These photos might be helpful: Even fully raised, you can see that the bridge hangs over the wooden bumpers below....and any strike of the fenders counts as a "collision" same as if a railcar or locomotive actually makes contact with a bumping post.
