Some nights my scanner picks up transmissions at Wicks. NS doesnt call signals on the Lansing secondary so they get permission to run from Wicks to Jackson.

Their are two dash-9s in Saginaw Yard right now til tomorow it brought a new load of intermodals and it looks like B-30 or B-28 came up yesterday or today (new gons a flatbead and a lumber car).

I got a picture of the -9s in the yard turned out horriable though but it will be their til tomorow so I'm going to try again

Train was a 59A-18 from CIncinnatti. Showed as a bunch of empty spine cars (TTEX, TTRX).
The dispatcher is cool.

Looks like 59A-18's engines (dash-9s) will be here another night. The tracks at Saginaw Yard are all full with intermodals even the main track just north of Willow Street is full. The only way in or out of the yard is going south through Lansing and joining the Flint Sub then using the Cedar Diamond to transfer back on the secondary.

I'm sorry hogger and everyone else about this bad post

There is no connection at Cedar. There used to be, but it was removed LONG ago.

Say there nsted1582. You should try getting your info about the track layout in Lansing and research a little bit more before telling us how we can get in and out of Lansing. You were so far off base about how to get through Lansing that my glasses fell off I was laughing so hard.

I couldn't tell you anything about the storage cars right now. I was pulled out of service last Friday over a "comment" made to our new trainmaster concerning my back. I am now in the process of jumping through hoops with the ns medical dept and my family Dr trying to get the proper forms/letters back to the medical dept stating that there is nothing wrong with my back so I can return to work.
