All this siding will be for is a transload that is taking some of the business away from Amerhart in Williamsburg. Apparently some former Amerhart guys are trying to stick it to them and get their product unloaded here instead of buying it from the competition. And this is precisely what I was talk...

Okay, TC Man. But what you are failing to understand is that this board is full of people who would curl up and die if they could not give you a negative take on every single piece of news posted, here.

In bound empty containers (double stack) and down the road plywood and building materials for Box & tops. you can see how stupid MDOT engineers are, GLC ask for a run-a-round so they dont have to ball face cars back to Boardman Yard and you can plainly see its going to be a stub track.

It sure looks like one, and Britten is a large company that sprawls 1/4 to 1/2 mile down to Beacon. The new building just completed (as in built, not finished inside yet). They have stacks of new shipping containers on the property (you can see some of them in the background in KC's photos). Not su...

A quick google of "2294 CASS LLC" shows the agent of the shell company to be a Paul Britten.

Thanks for the pics. I am not sure where the EB signal is, but, yes, I imagine it's work for the US-127 reconstruction. At Trowbridge, they are moving the ramp back, considerably, to offer a smoother turn: Screenshot 2024-02-07 at 15-18-09 I-496_US-127 Public Meeting Presentation - I496-US127-Public...

Are you asking about the mainline diamond or the spurs/sidings diamond?

What's the grade like around Lake Odessa on the CSX Plymouth Sub? For a relatively flat area through Mid-Michigan, it's rather noticeable. On a side note, the "Lake O Dip" as it is known, almost exactly mirrors the grade into and out of the Detroit-Windsor tunnel. CSX engineers on the CP trains wil...
