ADBF Switcher at Blissfield Depot

Joshua Niederkohr · Mon Nov 14, 2016 12:05 pm

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.

ADBF GP9 #1751, 1758, & 1760 run on the JAIL sub from Jackson to Lansing. And ADBF 1752 & ADBF 1755 "ex NHS" run on the ADBF between Adrian & Blissfield.

NS3322, I haven't really heard much on ADBF GP9 #1759, tho I think it Works with 1752 and 1755 on the Adrian line.

1759 is used on grain trains.

1759 is also used on the dinner train. Saw it week before last. They also had 1755 switching a scrap yard in Adrian.
