Re: The return of gypsum near Alabaster for Lake State.
Wonder what the speed was on the old D&M?? ALSO-- what happens to the Alpena yard job, and/ or the old roundhouse in Alpena?? Alpena yard job isn't going anywhere. They will still keep a Geep up there to service the local industries, even after they implement a Bay City-Alpena turn. Track speed on ...

Y121 and L301 met in Grandville at 10:25. Y121 brought the caboose with them so they can run track speed back to Holland (no cars for them in GR).

Re: The return of gypsum near Alabaster for Lake State.
The goal is to get the speed high enough on the Huron Sub for LSRC to be able to run a turn job from Bay City to Alpena and back with one crew.

Re: Future Cement Business Livingston
Heard that the old sand plant was being reactivated, that's good to hear its actually moving forward. D700 used to be a 3 man job because of all of the switching they would do at Livingston sand!

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - April 2024
They just got the GEXR SD40-2 within the last couple of months, as well as returned the 3414 to service after being OOS for well over a year. So now they have 4 SD40-2s: 3390, 3393, 3414, and 3484.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
Some of you guys are probably too young to remember the boom years of 2013-2015, but we were running some absolutely massive trains up here back then. Q327, Q334 and Q335 were consistently over 200 cars. My record was 237 cars on Q335.

Re: ADBF/JAIL Changes Made Under New Ownership
The ADBF currently uses 2 GP9s and their SW9. The JAIL uses the SD40-2, GP40-2 and still has 1 GP9 that is somewhat serviceable. These new GP40s will replace all of the remaining GP9s. Once rebuilt and repainted, 2 will go to the ADBF and 2 will remain on the JAIL.

No 2 LSRC locomotives were alike during that era.

That is actually the Thornapple River Dr overpass in Cascade, just east of Fox. And you are totally correct on Schoolcraft, brain fart.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2024
There is either no L301 today or something else going on, but either way, Y121 will be running to Grand Rapids with 2,800 tons of Holland traffic. Should be a good show with 1 GP38-2 climbing up through Zeeland.

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2024
Y290 is the second shift switcher at the east end. Normally does not leave the yard so you probably wouldn't hear them on the road channel. Any X90 series yard job is a remote control job. Remote control jobs operating in yard limits have zones consisting of certain tracks or leads. These zones exis...
