Re: Lake State Railway

I'd like to go north of Saginaw and to the north. I've been to Grand Blanc and to the south of that before but never north of there.

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work

I was in Williamston last week and saw that they were running conduit for new signals. This was the only spot that I saw this being done between there and Howell. I wanna make another trip up there next month and will post any updates.

Re: New Shortline on former E&W/NKP

Last time I was through Rochester in January, it looked like the right of way was being cleared on the former Erie on the west end of the remaining track. Would anyone know if this was the railroad doing that?

Lagonda Junction near Springfield Ohio

I'd like to catch a train going by the old tilt signal here sometime in the near future. My understanding is that the Indiana and Ohio owns both lines through here and was seeing if anyone knows the best time to catch a train here. Thanks for any info!!

Active code line

I know the CSX Indiana Sub has active code line poles and it looks like Winchester Indiana has another small stretch of active code line poles through town along CSX still. Just wandering if there's any other stretches of railroad in Indiana with active code line poles.

I'm going to railfan this area in a week and was wondering if either line here is very busy. I'd imagine the Grand Elk isn't but I would hope CN is. Thanks for any info.
