This was a late Q122 clear Durand just 20 minutes or so ago

CN 2322 leading a mixed freight through Durand currently

Good lord Z148 and Q122 are so darn late. This might be the first time I see Z148 in daylight since the summer of 2022

Saturday Morning review 1. Westbound CN stack train Z149 passes the Charlotte cam at 4:50 am 2. Westbound CN auto rack train with some tankers up front passes the Charlotte cam at 7:27 am. CN 8867 is the leader 3. Westbound CN mixed freight train A491 passes through okemos 7:50 am 4. Eastbound CN mi...

I've used Recuva in the past for pulling files off of hard drives that have had master boot record or other disk issues, and have used it on compact flash cards as well to "undelete" photos or from cards that had a "quick format" performed on them. Haven't used in a few years though, but hopefully ...

I am just happy boychuck is not with a railroad after CSX "let him go" he was terrible with customer service and running trains that CSX ousted him. They are doing much better since he left. As for NS, yes this is a W that Ancora did not takeover the company, but still they won three seats and Shaw ...

Ouch.

I did get photos of the steam train and most of the trains I caught before it all got lost. So its not a total L. I've heard from other railfans get robbed and cameras got stolen or destroyed. Guess Im okay to an extent.

First, I know it’s too late now, but if you ever experience a camera malfunction or get it wet, first thing to do is remove the SD card, and dry it separately, and transfer any data before risking it in the potentially malfunctioning device. That’s because the camera could start writing over, corru...

So on May 8th, I was out in Iowa chasing the 2816 in the rain. Then my sony handycam gets water damaged even though I had an umbrella under it. So after I used a hairdryer to dry it off and it worked again but I lost all of my videos prior to when it happened I've spent the last 2-3 hours trying to ...

LSRC gets really cool north of flint, Saginaw, and Bay City. The road train alpena on the Huron sub runs south between 4 and 6 pm. During the summer months you can chase it in daylight until at least oscoda. The track speed is 10 mph so it makes an easy chase. The road train out of Bay City usually ...

David the ladies man! Rare catch too! Did she think the train was cool?

From what I've heard and this is coming from a railfan I ran into while I was in Arizona back in March. He said that your best bet for action is echo canyon near Salt Lake City. UP runs a good 30-40 trains a day. After it gets to Salt Lake City. It all splits off to different lines. Traffic in Utah ...

Okay, but you could rewind it as well. I'll say this, this is a rough estimate and I've been to Kansas City twice for trains and I'll say it's one of my favorite cities to railfan outside of Houston, Dallas Fort Worth and the twin cities. You got about 100 BNSF trains a day from both the former ATSF...

…Hoping everyone is ok. Miraculously, only minor injuries. I know the speed of impact wasn’t high, but I know L743 well from when I lived down south and did my three trips to Folkston that I did. Back then it was A771. It often becomes a key train after it works Waycross (it works Waycross, Baldwin...

Dude really. Just go on YouTube and watch the cam....

These railroads have to stop cramming everything into one spot. Now I know the MOW worker screwed up. But you had 4 trains in the vicinity. M442, M209, L743 and I032. Folkston doesn't see the amount of traffic anymore compared to other places averaging 32 trains a day including the 6 Amtraks. There ...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/norfolk-southern-settlement-east-palestine-train-derailment-ohio/ Norfolk Southern is going to pay 600 million dollars for the damage they caused in East Palestine Ohio a year ago. Is Norfolk Southern nearly gonna go bankrupt? Could a Conrail 2.0 happen? I sure hope so. ...

I honestly love how growth minded LSRC is, alot of railroads need to take notes. I honestly thought Alabaster was cooked after they ripped up the track during the summer of 2012. Plus I have heard rumors that LSRC wants to increase their speed on the Huron Sub from 10 mph to 25 mph. Seems like every...

Good evening everyone, I am going back to the U.P sometime later on this summer to visit some friends that go NMU. After I returned home last year in June from visiting them, I saw an Instagram photo of a CN train passing Goose lake on a causeway with a pair of SD60s. I would love to shoot this oper...
