ADBF Switcher at Blissfield Depot
On Saturday on my way to the Blissfield Model Railroad Club, I saw a red switcher that looked like an SW1500 painted red, and had ADBF reporting marks on it. I believe the number said 1223. What's up with this? Did they buy it because last time I checked they need 7-mill for the Riga-Ottawa Lake Project.

Yes, that's ADBF 1223, an SW1200, formerly one of the Saginaw Valley RR units. They bought it about 3 or 4 years ago IIRC. Seems they've been using it on the Dinner train a lot recently.

Whatever happened to ADBF #1755? The last time I visited Blissfield (Aug 2016) it wasn't on the storage track.

Last Saturday I saw the switcher moving cars at the MAC Grain Elevator.

1759 is used on grain trains.
Re: ADBF Switcher at Blissfield Depot
1759 is also used on the dinner train. Saw it week before last. They also had 1755 switching a scrap yard in Adrian.
