That Genset looks great!

[AARR]

That Genset looks great!

Ditto. And yur train schedule looks about right to me. Missing a local or two but therwise not bad. Yu may want to relook at your loco rsoter and see if you really need that many engines. Even when AA was at its busiest it only had 22 diesel engines.

Thanks! I left out some because I got lazy last night I might have gone overboard with the engines... I'm going to do a "recount"

[DT&I]

The TSCR has some new interchange trains for the AA if you look under the TSt.L&C thread.

[Ypsi]

AT-1 will take all interchange cars that go south to toledo, and if necessary there will be a XAT-2 (X indicating extra)

two new trains
AO-1, Ann Arbor to Owosso leaving ann arbor in the evening
OA-1, Owosso to Ann Arbor, somtimes takes cars but is often a power move leaes Owosso after AO-1 cars are dropped off

[Ypsi]

the AA is selling off 25 of there gp 35's. they had expanded the origonial fleet to 35 units, but with the addition of the SD70ACe's and Dash 8's the GP35s are no longer needed. A few leasing companys have showed intrest in AA 360- 384.

[Ypsi]

The Ann Arbor RR is looking to become the operator of the Michigan line from MP 28 (CP Ypsi/ Ypsilanti) and MP 143 (Kalamazoo)

The desl with SEMCOG fell through, NS is still the operator of the Michigan line. But there is some good news, The AA will start operating Michigan Game Day commuter Trains this season for the michigan games, they will be buying 4 ex-metra F40Ph's and 2 Amtrak P32-8's, along with 36 bilevel commuter cars and 2 business cars.
