Re: Petersburg and related things.

The Ragweed Line - http://www.trainweb.org/annarbor/AARRHistory/Toledo_Ann_Arbor-Jackson/RAGWEED-DT&I.html Tracking the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Detroit RR by James Hannum - I downloaded a free copy of this book a while ago.

Re: Petersburg and related things.

This 1917 map shows the alignment between Petersburg and Dundee, but I wish it was more legible.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023

Last night around 12:35 A.M. (8/26/2023) I caught an Eastbound with 8904 and 2722 in Lapeer. It had intermodals at the front and atuoracks at the back. Does anyone know if it was an extra Q122 or Z148? It seemed way to early to be a regular run. Saw this EB past the Durand camera a little earlier. ...

Re: CN Train Location Updates - August 2023

Durand camera 14:40: EB to SB, CN 8809 with racks/stacks, presumably a Q116.

At 15:16, an EB mixed freight slowly rolls by with CN 3011 and CN 2974, reported as M396 on Facebook, but it's lined into Flint Yard, so maybe it's an A492?

EB mixed freight by Durand camera at 14:28 with
CN 3068
CN 3024
LSRC 6436 (UP paint)

Lined as far as Flint on the main. Guessing they'll leave that LSRC engine at Flint?

Re: Amtrak Train Location Update/Heads Up thread 2023

Is 350 operating this summer? Haven't seen it for a couple days now (though I did see 355 yesterday) and the Amtrak Train Status says that it is not operating on the day I ask. Looks like 350/353 are weekend-only for a while: https://www.amtrak.com/alert/wolverine-trains-350-and-353-temporarily-sus...

If the Beaubien diamond replacement is happening, that would explain no Amtrak.

Re: CSX Switching Cargill Salt in St. Clair PH&D Branch

I've read that the PH&D local is L307. Before the symbol changes the local was D713.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - June 2022

These daily eastbound trains that turn south at Durand (the ones that are not Q116): are they a mix of A450 and M356 now, or just M356?

Re: CN Train Location Updates - June 2022

Per ATCS, looks like 382 is meeting either 383 or 385 at Milwaukee Jct.

Re: CN Train Location Updates - June 2022

Quiet day on the Holly so far. Only Amtrak trains and SB 515 today. Quiet day on the Board here too. Must be the same on the Chicago Division. Hot day too. 91 outside here and rising. I checked the Durand cameras to see what passed by overnight and in the morning, and there were 14 trains between 1...

Re: CN Train Location Updates - June 2022

Per ATCS, what I assume is L508 is turning south at Durand at 17:30.

Re: Reference For Signals

I wonder why CN changed one subdivision but left the Holly, Flint, and Shoreline the same.

Reference For Signals

I recently saw that CN now has both speed signals and route signals in Michigan, based on these pictures from Milwaukee Junction. After Googling these rule numbers I discovered a website where, if you dig around a bit, you can find tables of signal rules, aspects, names, and indications for many rai...
