M326-22 @ 12:06 made an emergency radio transmission from the 128th Ave crossing mp CG38.1 Radio call was broken up - waiting to hear more reports. Dispatcher was heard saying "we'll get someone out there". Vehicle or a person had bounced off of the engine per the crew & apparently fled the scene. ...

Grand Elk southbound all stop at 7:11 on the 68th St crossing. Looks like it was a train vs pedestrian incident from where I am

You beat me to it. Here is some info...

Hi, I’m trying to railfan around Colorado, and I was wondering, which branch line is the busiest? I’m also interested in seeing Amtrak too. The CZ takes the Moffat Route, with #5 generally departing Denver in the morning (it departed on time at 8:05am today) and #6 arriving in the evening (around 6...

Ding-ding-ding! Good job, Mark.

Lots of great stuff from the Holland area on his page!

No. You’ll need to go a bit to the south.

Somewhere in the western quadrant of the lower peninsula.

M327 rolling west through Grandville at 07:45.

Good question. I'm curious about that as well.

My bet is CSX will take a page out of the NS Michigan Line playbook, and let the GR Sub go to seed once Consumers is done, until the state buys it for Amtrak service. It would be more financially responsible to reroute the Pere Marquette via Kalamazoo and terminate at Holland, and abandon the GR Su...

Update: 09/07/2023 something is happening right next to the Hamilton Northwestern. Could this be a transload facility or a future rail served customer only time will tell. 1DA8FD3C-32A2-4D12-88FE-FA0F3021F60E.jpeg 72FD18F4-ED93-48C9-917B-7D0C79DEEB9B.jpeg Is this new activity? There’s been construc...

Was gonna guess GLC..nice find Avnx. Where be it? The satellite image I'm seeing with google looks to have been taken at the exact same time of the day (shadows are identical) and around the same day (all the tracks in the field match perfectly). But...no train. Where did you get that satellite ima...

I’d love to see a few of your Plastcore shots sometime JT! What year was that siding built? It’s neat to see evidence of a few newer customers out there. Somewhere I had a couple photos of the Beacon Recycling spurs being graded along Godfrey in GR but I think they were deleted by mistake. I though...

Amtrak line crossing over Robinson Ave. just west of downtown Mattawan. Really cool old bridge. I had a failed attempt at shooting Amtrak there with my drone a couple of years ago. Shutter lag screwed me.

GRHC! Glad you got some photos of the new Coastal Container siding under construction. I've been documenting the creation of this spur for about 6 months now. I've got a few pics, just have never bothered to post them. :) I did the same with the Plascor spur in Zeeland back when they put that in. D...

Interurban ROW somewhere south of GR?

Hearing Grand Elk’s horn, maybe at 36th and 32nd, so I’m assuming heading into GR.

Are they planning on building a whole new highway as well?

West Olive empties south at Riley St. Holland 6:38 PM.

I swear every time I'm walking down 8th St. in Holland with my wife in the evening, there goes a train.

I'm trying to picture which tracks we are talking about. Are these the tracks that exited the CSX yard next to Judd St, goes by the Michigan Natural Storage and back to Columbian Logistics? I never would have thought this would have been NS trackage. I know the track at one time crossed the Grand R...
