I got tickets for the DT&I trip. Is anyone on here going on that one?

Too bad they are no longer running on the ADBF from Riga to Blissfield.

Doesn't sound like much of a trip

To be fair, it says right in their website:

“ORE aims to offer a new and exciting tour schedule every year. Many trips will not be repeated annually. If an excursion catches your eye, we highly recommend climbing aboard.”

Perhaps the Riga-Blissfield diversion will be part of a future year operation…

It provided a nice layover/midpoint from Leipsic.

That was right before the sale of the ADBF was completed to ZFS. I forget the old owner of ADBF's name, mark something, but he wanted his passenger car in Mason to be either in Adrian or actually on the trip and NS lost it in transit lol and it got there too late.

I wonder if he is any relative of a guy I used to work with who was also from that area. Ken Dombrowski.

Everyone got your tickets? Is anyone riding the DT&I North train up to Diann and back?

[bdconrail29]

I'm doing the DT&I north trip to Diann and back!

Nice! I doubt the train will pull right up to the home signal at Diann, but I’d be interested to see any photos of the interchange tracks with the Annie on the north side, or the approach or home signals for the diamond with the Annie. It looks like they have an interesting passenger consist this year and great NKP GP30 and Conrail painted first generation geep power!
