Re: Michigan Narrow Gauge Operations - The holdouts
Anyone know what Michigan narrow gauge lines held out the longest and why? Excluding tourist railroads of today (Huckleberry, Toonerville, etc), where were some of the last survivors of Michigan narrow gauge? The only one that really comes to mind was the Quincy and Torch Lake, but surely there wer...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates: October, 2020.
D706-14 @ 4:56pm reported from the west end of Elmdale mp CH131.7 & from the talk heard on the scanner (reset applied 751) at 5:21pm sounds like they're doing some work at Elmdale. By the way, ~Z~ had informed me Snow Road is around mp CH135 & CH134. :) I am still learning all the yard names and ev...

Re: If the Rails Were Still There
GLC/MIGN has had pulpwood log loading sites over the years including Cadillac, Manton, South Boardman, Kalkaska, and perhaps other locations I'm not aware of. South of Cadillac they loaded logs at Ashton and other locations. I did think about utilizing the spur just south of Manton where logs were ...

Re: If the Rails Were Still There
In addition to outbound cement the plant also receives 30ish cars a week of fly ash. At this time there are no other customers between Williamsburg and the cement plant. I'm working on a scenario where they transload up to 8 cars per week of pulpwood logs for mills down south. I didn't think about ...

Since they are food manufacturing, and a good sized one at that, I wonder if the rails were still there from either railroad if they would rece...

Re: Great Lakes Central updates July 2020
Sorry if this isn't what the thread is for. My 4-year-old son is obsessed with trains. We live in Mount Pleasant so we often go to the tracks there and watch for the train. We've been able to catch it twice at the Jordan road crossing. We'd love to catch it at Island Park sometime but we haven't be...

Do you think we'll be seeing CTSN run at night, much like ONTN did while track upgrades happened between Owosso-Ithaca?AANscaleRunner wrote:Track upgrades beginning.
