NYC bay window 21755 and DT&I 120 are with GTW 75007 at the Lapeer Amtrak station

Thanks! My main railroads im going to Chicago for are BNSF and CN, I dont mind going into the worse parts of Chicago, and my main goal for going to Chicago is to see a EX BN patched unit before their all gone. Is that narrowed down enough?

Oh boy, this is a big topic, but I would just like some advice and main highlights of railfanning Chicago. I will be taking a trip here this summer and would like to see most of the good stuff there
Thanks,
Chris

Very nice!! I was going to go see it in Plymouth, but I was still in school.

Did we ever find out the fate of some or all of the cars?

I'll be going to see the Amtrak at Wayne junction soon, wonder if the Chargers will be on there any time soon. It's nice to hopefully have something other then those boring P42s on the trains!

Something a little different on the Michigan line!! Wonder when they will be testing?

Would love to go see that Conrail unit, but the only problem is i live in Plymouth, MI so its quite a drive.

Thanks, new we can narrow it down to, are their any Conrail locos left on any shortlines near Michigan?

Are there any conrail locos left on NS and CSX, im pretty sure their all gone but just asking. If not, is there any on a shortline in Ohio or, mainly, Michigan? I would love to see one, even though im pretty sure almost all are gone
Thanks,
Chris

Hi, I will be going to Chesterton, IN in two weeks and on my way I'm going to stop in Michigan City, IN. I plan to get there at a time where I can see some passenger street running action on 10th and 11th street, but is there any good time for a freight train on the line? Or is it random. Any tips f...

I looked at a picture online, and saw a spur to the right of the C&O signals? http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2469543 Here it is in 1983, bottom right, doesn't look in the best of shape, but it had to be used one day. Here it is in 1999 with no spur?http://www.railpictures.net/p...

Ive seen on youtube that there is now baggage cars on some of the MI Amtrak trains? Why, and how long will this be so, i wanna see one!!

A shame to see it go, what will be the fate of the cars they used?

Thanks everyone! Yes I have been to Plymouth a lot and would like to switch it up a bit. Also, I started midterms when I was in seventh grade!

Hi, my parents said they would take me railfanning after my midterms, and it's about that time. So, I was wondering the best places to railfan on the outskirts of Detroit. My dad doesent like taking me too far into Detroit, but places that are still in Detroit are still welcome. I would really love ...

What are all the CSX yard jobs in Plymouth? Thanks!!

Any reason why the IC F units were taken off?
