Addison, on Mason street?

In case anyone wasn't aware, or forgot, the Lansing show is this Sunday, Nov. 13th. They usually have a pretty good selection, but it's a popular show, so if you don't show up early, things end up being pretty picked over.

Edit: show goes from 10-4.

Lansing or Charlotte?

Looking SW at Mt. Hope Rd, South Lansing.

That wouldn't by chance be northeast of I-94 by Mattawan would it?

My guess is it's bluewater chapter because there's a locomotive on each end.

Well then maybe you shouldn't buy a house that sits adjacent to some tracks, eh?

I'll be there. Looking at getting some structures, and i could always use more rolling stock.

Barnes Rd. south of mason is a fun crossing to drive over.

A trail to possibly look into that's also in the area is the trail from Frankfort through Elberta, Benzonia, and back south into thompsonville. I rode a portion of it this summer, and it's a neat ride or walk, and its 22 miles long.

It did. I have relatives who own property that contains a section of right of way. In fact, before the line was removed, someone had a house delivered by rail and built it not far from the right of way, just down the road.

Metal detectors are a great hobby. Good luck on your search! I have a metal detector as well, and plan to comb the old branch line north of Clare on private land for some goodies. For non-railroad-related areas to search, silver lake and other beaches along Lake Michigan are great areas to look. Bea...

Here is something that I think would be really cool, although I have given little thought to the logistics --- a passenger train from Grand Rapids to downtown Detroit to coincide with sporting and other events. With Comerica Park and Ford Field already next to each other, and the Red Wings new stad...

I'll be there, might bring some engines to sell that don't fit my locale.

I have an SD9 from athearn. Everything is there except for the handrails, and the axle gears are cracked. Pm if you want it.

Ok i have some more. Ill have to edit the photos into this post, so bear with me.

Thought i'd start a thread for sharing memorable sightings over the years- whether it be old, new, rare or just out of place. Feel free to add pictures if you'd like. To start, I'll share a couple of mine: In May 2009, i was on a trip to DC, I glimpsed an Acela train going about 130 through Baltimor...

You know, there's a way to disagree with someone without being hateful or disrespectful. I have been watching this thread, and just because someone isn't as experienced or as knowledgeable as you in some areas, doesn't mean you have to shoot them down if they give some input. I see people make valid...

I don't believe HESR owns into Owosso. GLC owns that. HESR branches off northeast through Lennon and Flushing.
