Re: painting for sale...

Ben - I've been following your work for about 10 years. I still have your collection of Michigan Railroad articles and maps. Your article about MIGN is still one of my most important resources on it. Keep up the good work!

Re: Conrail Shared Assets 7/16/09 - Day Long Report

Last time I saw a 40' was on CSX's Detroit Sub around 1994. It was a BN greenie. It was in a block of box cars for paper service.

I enjoy the squealing of the wheels as they slowly go around the curve. Not many cars for Dow today means possibly a big chunk the next time. Thanks Justin.

Re: Michigan Southern (West Michigan RR) mini trip report w/pics

For example, I'm sure Minute Maid would like to be able to cut back on trucking costs. The switch and most of the siding is still there...
I don't recall the story why MM won't use rail service here. They do at other plants IIRC.

Re: Tanker Explosion Closes I-75 Freeway/9 Miles Rd, Hazel Park

N909 EASTERN EMPTIES OUT OF WEST OLIVE.
At one time I heard/read W. Olive would receive two unit coal trains per day. Can anyone tell how many they are getting these days?

I didn't know Haviland gets tank cars too. I thought they only get box cars.

No boxes to Haviland, only inbound tanks. They are beyond Victor Barnes on the siding. VB gets the boxes
Ok - thanks RDD
