The wye coming south out of NYC Willow Run Yard went to the Ford Motor Company B-24 bomber plant. After the war General Motors purchased it and it was a GM, Hydra-Matic plant. Later on GM built the Willow Run Assembly Plant south of the transmission plant. The Covair was built there. GM Closed the W...

Did that I 150 get out of Oak yard?

Whst time did M510 get out of Walbridge?

Anybody seen I 151 today(Tues).

Well Joeyuboats I do have to agree with you to a point. I will have to assume you do not drive an automobile since ALL roads are subsized by taxpayers. You do do not fly since the air space is subsized by taxpayers, You do not use the waterways again since they are all subsized by taxpayers. Why is ...

Next meeting of The Michigan Railroad Club will be Wednesday, November 02, 2022. It is our annual meeting as required by law. Election of officers too if anybody wants to be an officer to run the Club. Program is open projector nite so whatever anybody brings we will show but it has to be your own m...

Yes, that is quite a problem now a-days. When I was young we rode the bus everywhere. People now do not like rideing a bus. Not "hip" enough. Traverse City and Holland do have bus service and they meet the trains at the Depot so one can take the bus. Having rental electric automobiles at the train s...

Once we are forced into electric vehicles more rail service will be required. A train from Detroit to Lansing, Grand Rapids, Holland, Michigan City will give more connectivity to a large population base. People from Detroit would be able to go to Tulip festival on a one day trip. Go to Lake Michigan...

Yes that is mostly what I mean. To gi yo South Bend for a footbal game or visit your childrren in collage why go all the way to Chicago than back east.

Yes. Detroit to Michigan City. Yes, there is a several block difference between the two stations. Would have to work with the City to have a shuttle bus between the two stations. Having train end in St. Joseph is good. Heck, you get off the train right at the beech but if you get to Michigan City yo...

NS track geometry train with NS 9840, 38, 36 was at Oakwood Jct at 1227 on Oct 24, 2022 waiting for a signal. Going to Delray, turn than back west.

Why Michigan City? Well at Michigan City there is a Casino which is a destnation location. There is also a connection to the south Shore for people who are not going to Chicago such as South Bend or Gary and other points on the CSS. It is about connectivity. Connecting the points in between major c...

Futher to what I wrote on Oct 10, 2022 about AA2TC At the Ann Arbor end, the old interchange track between AA and MCRR would have to be installed including four quadrent gates at Main St. and power switches on both ends. After train gets on MCRR they would use the existing Amtrak depot. Than there a...

Well right now the A2TC train is a big boondoggle BUT once we are forced into electric automobiles and IF they run the trains to actually serve all the people a train is a good idea. 1. Train has to run daily. Both directions. 2. Need a special car to haul snowmobiles/ATV's at a cheap rate. 3. Train...
