Haha if the WSOR got the Plymouth Sub I'm sure they'd call me off the extra board to cover it

Elk has a WSOR passenger car here for shippers specials this Friday , Saturday and team member special Sunday. There possibly is another car coming from Lake States too. Nice touch to do this for the local communities. Running ahead of 303 Friday morning from Kazoo to Grand Rapids, Saturday running...

And that's also why I get called off the extra board

Curious to know what can be said about Norfolk and Western operations in Ontario - what was served, what trains served it, why were they there in the first place, etc. I know the ops started with the Wabash and ended sometime in the NS era. Any info is appreciated.

Current Faurcia production goes to Dearborn IIRC so there won't be rail shipments there. The engine plant in Dundee ships in NS 86' box cars so maybe that's what the ones in Milan are for. AA and NS shifted their interchange point to Milan a year or two ago because of congestion in Toledo. Is the p...

Currently nothing sitting there except a pair of P32s and two ballast cars as of this afternoon.

AFAIK there's not much of an opportunity to visit anything on the site without explicit permission.

Is it the west/southwest end of the spur that used to serve Woodard off of S Delaney Rd in Owosso?

I happened to be in Milan this morning, and I noticed a string of loaded intermodal cars in the siding on the north side of the NS main line, west of the diamond. Any ideas as to what they're doing there? Did they come up on the AA and are waiting pickup by an NS road train? I had heard that the co...

Off of Rust Road south of Romulus on the CSX?

Why are the crossing signal bonds so close to the crossing that the train needs to stop? Anybody know? When the tank cars were stored on the branch, they were right up to the crossings in a few locations. I'd imagine that the railroad changed some circuitry or something to that nature around in ord...

AA 2373, 3927, and 1337 are currently tied down just north of Payeur Road at Pittsfield Junction. Word is that they brought autorack cars up from Toledo to Milan and several covered hopper cars went up to Osmer. No cars that I'm aware of came south from there.

Is it the old spur to the Ford Plant in Monroe?

Britton looking west on M50.

B70 still operates out of Milan AFAIK. My best guess is that you saw them switching the yard. Not sure exactly what all they serve but I think they run from Milan to Oakwood Yard and back.

Was informed this evening that there would be some interesting action happening on the Ann Arbor Railroad tonight and being that it's my first time back to Michigan in a while, I decided to head out to look for a supposed grain extra. Turns out that there were two NS six-axle units on the head end o...

It still wouldn't run west of Wayne would it? What does the routing look like for this?

First thing it reminded of was Morrison Knudsen's MK5000C. Would like to see this be a successful venture for EMD.

Edit: Question no longer relevant

Looks like the Huron R. near Ann Arbor. No Streetview to verify.

Seems to me it's one of the bridges along Gallup Park's path or the one bridge along Stark Strasse.
