Trains April 2013 MI Connections

Unread post by AARR »

CAT345 has a picture in April's Trains. The article is titled "Are big rigs big trouble for trains?" It shows the aftermath of the collision between GLC 385 and a wood chip truck. Congrats CAT!

I see MDH has a picture in the same article of the Amtrak collision with a truck east of Jackson which another member of this board was the engineer.

Although not in MI railohio has a picture of the Port of Toledo in the article "Drought means boom or bust for Midwest"
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...

Why not say RRF Connections and stop with this silly Interstate bickering?

Ohio and Michigan, two states that most of America has no desire to spend any time in.
