B70 has been taking them as of late but I believe that the Ann Arbor Railroad will be doing it very soon if they aren't already.

I had heard back in December from a reputable source that such a service was in the works. In the past few weeks from what I've seen, the Ann Arbor Railroad will bring several autorack cars up to Milan in the late evening and then B70 will take the cars to Oakwood Yard in the morning around 11:00. T...

The gates with stop signs are in place as of this afternoon. Can't imagine it will be too long before the searchlights are taken out of service.

AA 2373 with 3927 and 1337 tied down facing SB at the south end of Milan Yard.

AA 1337 with 3927 and 2373 tied down with a NB train at Milan around 20:00. May have gotten a crew since then.

How about this one

Just south of Tecumseh on the SMRS?

AA 3927 and 1337 are tied down on the connecting spur at Pittsfield. Last I checked there were three cuts of cars at Osmer with one in the SB position for the AA.

This spur off the main is going to a large automotive supplier, although the plant is closed now and I have no idea when it last used the rails.

IIRC, there were covered hoppers sitting within the facility grounds last year sometime.

Sorry, folks, but the new mostly black Annie paint job is UGLY! I'm never going to repaint any of my HO scale Ann Arbor equipment in that scheme! GaRRy K Better then the UP scheme they wore. Haha that's debatable. :lol: I for one wish they had repainted 2370 into the better looking version of the U...

Looks like 7802 there is showing off her CR heritage, you can see the blue and orange behind the 2370. I hope for the Fog scheme as they never wore the GP35 Block lettering. The block lettering paint scheme you are referring to is the scheme before the DT&I "Compass" paint scheme correct? The block...

7802 still makes it to Michigan occasionally when they run to Temperance. Just doesn't get further north than that.

If the 7802 is receiving new paint I'm assuming that means it is in good enough shape that they intend to keep it around for a few more years? Because why make the investment if it isn't for the long haul. All the reports I've ever heard over the years suggest 7802 is on its last legs. According to...

AA 2370 has been stripped of all decals and is in the process of being prepared for painting. Not exactly sure on what scheme it will be painted into but word is that it will be the Watco black and yellow livery and that it will also receive a new road number. There is also talk that 7802 will be re...

AA 2373 lead 2368, 2370, and 1337 SB through Milan at 13:04 with a sizable grain train. There were a few gondola cars and a loaded centerbeam flatcar thrown in as well.

Haha - you can't keep the locals away! It's Industrial Boulevard on the Saline Branch of the Ann Arbor Railroad.

I've gotten reports that the Ann Arbor Railroad is sending 1337 down to the Union Station as well. It was taken out of Ottawa Yard today by NS.

This spot was mentioned recently by someone else in another thread.

Haha I went and looked this spot up to see if I could find the "Unusual Crossing Signal". It's the Gen-Mar Industrial Park in Novi.

This one is not guessed, yet. Eames was incorrect.

I am surprised no one got this. SE Michigan. It is not off CN or CSX lines

That's the spur near the Ford Rawsonville Plant that ends at Textile Road.

That'd be North Dixie Highway on the Fermi Nuclear Generating Station spur.
