Long time, no post. I've been busy with work and family stuff lately, but I still make time for 'fanning every now and then. I stopped in Plymouth for a quick lunch on my way back from dropping my daughter off at Metro Airport. Caught Y10703 taking cab CO 904143 back into the yard.
I couldn't hang around longer, but at least I got a little taste

According to the Youtube title, it's westbound.
I think its on the Detroit Sub heading back to Plymouth Yard rather than on the Plymouth Sub (or is it called Lansing Sub now?) going away from Plymouth Yard.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Fail on my part....don't usually look at the titles of videos I watch in trip reports because the title of that thread usually is what the video is actually called (or something very close).

Where is Side Tracks? I live in Northville and have been going to Plymouth my whole life and have never heard of this place.
I Googled it and the only listing is for a Side Tracks in Ypsilanti. I found a short blurb about a Side Tracks in Plymouth but no phone number or address

That loco was definitely westbound, and in the final going-away scene it was next to Station 885 (which is in Plymouth, the Sidetrack Bar & Grill is in Ypsilanti) http://station885.com/index.html.
Yup, westbound to take the cab into Plymouth Yard via the Toledo Wye. I've eaten at Station 885 before but didn't have time for it. Just some BK on the bench
