Sorry I don't have an answer to the original question, but this weather is nuts, even by Michigan standards.

Was ready to turn on the A/C yesterday as house was 74 degrees and humid inside, and as I type this I'm wearing my slippers.

That S756 must have been the train I heard around 5:30 this morning as this is not a "normal" time for a train thru Linden, although, of course, any train can run at any time.

Southbound 508 by Linden at 5:25pm with 2 CNs and 76 cars. Today's train had a good mix of cars. First 3 cars were intermodal, followed by 3 - 86' boxcars, which was kinda cool to see since you don't really see a whole lot of those cars anymore. (NS 18K and 19K thru Elkhart always have several 86 fo...

Hey GAP!

Good to see your post.

Thanks for sharing.

Southbound 116 with (only) CN 8019, is by Linden at 12:18pm with 74 cars - I think 74 cars, couldn't quite tell for sure from where I was at. Train is racks, maybe 10-15, with the rest being intermodal.

Anyone can ask how many trains per day are at a given location, and based on the number of answers, one can get a general idea. However, the best way to know how many trains per day a given location will deliver is the actual collection of data. A few steps would include: 1. Sit at a location of you...

I don't "believe" Z148 will run to Moterm, of course I could be wrong, but typically L507 will run to Flint as usual and Z148 will pick up what L507 sets ...

Way to blow it up. Sorry LRF, couldn't help it. I will freely admit, that those who have known me many years...I may have bought into that way back when I was young, but I'd like to think that I'm a bit older and wiser these days. A select few of you might remember some stories... Have a good day e...

CPKC X500 and X501 coming starting week of 03.31.2024 - first train should be that Monday.

Hmmm, that first Monday is actually April 1st, I wonder what April 1st represents....LOL LansingRailFan. Good one!

Well, well, well, we have another Southbound. Southbound 508?, by Linden at 2:33pm with 2 CNs and 40 cars of mixed freight. If this is not an early or late 508, maybe it’s an extra like a 356 or something.

Southbound 116 by me in Linden at 1:57 pm rolling right along at good speed.

For my friends South of Linden, Southbound Q116 coming at you, clear Linden with 2 CNs followed by racks and stacks. Sorry, no car count.

Southbound 116 by Linden at 11:54am with 2 CNs and 125 cars. First 73 cars are autoracks, last 52 are single and double stacks.

SB 116 clear Linden at 4:22pm.

NB 251 by Linden at 1:47 pm with 7 CN locomotives, and 91 cars.

Thanks guys for the info.

Merry Christmas to all of you.

Thanks Robertrains for that great pic of the 89' GTW Boxcars!

New paint it appears, clean, GT letters, no Graffiti - Ah those where to the days eh?! Love it!

Thanks RobertTrains for the confirmation on Train 508. Looks like GTW 8952 needs a good washing - all heritage units in my opinion should be washed - be proud of your heritage - ware those GTW colors clean! (Yeah right, the RR could care less about clean locomotives). I remember when railcars were c...

Hello to all my railfan friends! Southbound...um...something by Linden at 4:37pm with GTW 8952 Heritage Unit leading another CN unit, 109 cars. This train has everything! A few single stacks on the head end, several centerbeam loads of lumber, quite a few loaded coiled steel cars, some sand hoppers,...

Northbound CN 251 by Linden at 1:25pm with 126 cars. Mostly autoracks today, but a decent sized cut of mixed freight toward the head end. BNSF 5935 (I think) is the leader with 2 CNs trailing, including what looked like a 4 axle unit.
