On second thought the routing would work using three different lines.... You would have to take the saline branch (NYC) west to Cement City I think it is, switch to the SMRS (NYC) line take it all the way down to Tecumseh and then hang a Westward turn on the N&W (originally DT&I's rather roundabout main line, which was turned over to the Wabash in the 1920's) the short 5 miles into Adrian. It was doable (although never really done, since that was all branch lines). Only the SMRS exists out of this stretch other than what's left of the Saline Branch off the AA.

Thanks Don. I got one of the GP9's painted up last night, gotta get working on an SD9 now as well.

As of now, both SD9's are based in Adrian for the Ann Arbor turn or Adrian local. Too bad they're both night jobs. The other power in Adrian is GP40-2 6356 and GP9 1717.
