After 38J and 39J, How many roadfreights does the Michigan Line see? I know it serves as a detour for trains that usually run on the Chicago Line. It seems the Michigan Line is turning into a Secondary. _________________ Michigan Line during conrail http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/index.php?cat=1...

Also, they will switch to the LC Howard plant off North Pass around the lunch hour if necessary, before working south of town.
Where is LC Howard? Is North Pass the siding at Botsford Yard?

Anyone know if any of the locals ran with a caboose?

Anyone have pictures of the Conrail locals and Amtrak during the 90s. I know there arent that many online because posting pictures was not big back then like it is now.

What about South Yard, anything there? I havent seen any posts about these yards. And Rumley yard in we...
