Re: Deshler Train Info Wanted

Massive culture shock between Flint, one of the most dangerous cities in the country, and Deshler where you can leave 5000 dollars of camera equipment on a picnic table, go to lunch, come back and it's still there.

Re: Deshler Train Info Wanted

The beautiful architecture thing is quite a stretch. City hall is neat but that's about it.

Re: Deshler Train Info Wanted

70 trains on day on the East West Garrett/Willard Sub many turn. 10 ish north of town on the Toledo Sub, 25 is south of town. Not saying there are 100 trains a day as so many of them turn.

Re: Everything/Anything CF&E thread...Part 3

Not daily. About 4 times a week for 19A and daily for 16E since that started. Don't need your know it all comments here. What know it all comment would that be? That they have not been daily? That is totally accurate in my view... unless we consider 4 days ago when 16e started running as gospel.

They are basically all still up, the new ones have not been activated yet and likely won't until the spring.

Re: Everything/Anything CF&E thread...Part 3

Most of the ND&W's traffic is stuff bound for Campbell's on the order of 10 is cars a day. So I would say it is fairly viable. There were a couple elevators along the line as well, was that worth a 15 mile branch? GTW decided it wasn't.

Almost all of them are left. When the line was made dark they were simply turned and we're supposed to still be serviceable if need be, but that was 30 years ago and time has really taken it's toll on a lot of them. Others like that one in Monroeville look very fresh. Nice of that cop to illegally ...
