Legislator wants to limit train length/crew size
Dunno if this is old news for anybody, but I don't see a thread for it so here ya go. Senator Erika Geiss introduced a couple bills that would limit train size in Michigan to 7500 feet and maintain require at least two man crews for freight trains. Obviously there's some opposition to this. https://...

Re: CP to Buy KCS
This may be a dumb question, but-- over who's track did CP get to K.C.? I know SOO and MILW were in Chicago, but did they use MILW's west from Chicago, or SOO's, or did they go south from the Twin Cities, or was another routing involved? IIRC, all of CP's lines east of the Twin Cities, including ar...

Re: GLC / AA Merger WHAT IF
Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC GLC runs two local turns on their line between Cadillac and Owosso, with them meeting in Clare and swapping trains before returning to their respective terminals. Could something similar happen between Owosso and Toledo? Maybe have a southbound out of Owosso and a n...

Well that sucks. I wonder if they'll build a new bridge, or just leave Newberry split in two.

Re: Trains that used to run along the Plymouth and Grand Rapids subs
I know you asked for post 2000 symbols, but if you are at all curious about the late 90s, this website has a pretty extensive list of CSX/CP trains around Plymouth, including trains that ran on the east end of the Plymouth Sub. There are two lists, before Conrail and after Conrail. The link to the p...

Re: CN Updates: November 2022
Looks like there's a new live camera in Griffith, Indiana. I'm not sure if every eastbound South Bend Sub train goes to Michigan, but I'd imagine it might be useful for tracking at least some Michigan bound trains. For those who might not know, using the left side of the screen for reference - the S...

Re: CN Updates: November 2022
508 is going south through Linden at 6:27pm. All of the above mentioned scrap engines are on it behind the normal 2 CN engines (didn’t note the numbers). No intermodal today.

Re: GM Flint Assembly Questions
I watch several YouTube channels that show the daily LSRC train from Flint to Toledo. I have not seen any auto racks in their consist for a while. Is LSRC still handling vehicles in Flint? This video from Thursday shows the southbound hauling autoracks through Grand Blanc: https://www.facebook.com/...
