Re: Ann Arbor Passenger Cars
In this video by Michigan Central Lines, the passenger cars are at around the 30 second mark (in the background). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7SnaGonnvU&t=28s Those are private cars, the art ones were silver I think. I never saw them except for these pictures http://www.railfanguides.us/mi/ann...

Re: Ann Arbor Passenger Cars
Not that I know of, a few weeks ago they had two Amtrak Dash-8s with some ballast cars there, but they have left by now. That's my last sighting, and only sighting except for a ballast maintainer. I think the passenger cars were taken out a few years ago.

Re: MI Shortline Updates - May
C&IM SD20 #18 is sitting in Marquette Rail Ludington Yard. Didn't know why it was there, but it's one of the last in original paint.

Marquette Rail Ludington
I will be going up to ludington this weekend and wondered if anyone knows when the Marquette rail runs up there? The only place I've seen them run is on the Mansitee swing bridge and would like to see them somewhere else.
