Need help with them. I heard a WLE DD when I was in Greenwich but I don't recall the milepost.

Need help with them too. I think there's one near Trinway on the old Panhandle Line.

Indiana & Ohio
I'm sure there are more but the only ones I know are 177.8 and the one just north of Quincy on the DT&I Sub. I think there was one on the Midland Sub too.

Going from a Conrail ETT so I could be totally off

NS Detroit Sub is actually Detroit, MI to Toledo, OH.
NS LAKE Division (Ex-Wabash) is Detroit to Montplier, OH.

NS Lake Division has one at MP 20.3 West of Romulus, and one at MP 13.1? or there abouts.

CSXT Saginaw Sub
Huron MP 99.1
CSXT Detroit Sub
Middlebelt MP 17.9

The Lake Division covers a lot more than the Detroit District, and I'm sure Greg knows that. I know for sure that it covers the Marion District, Chicago Line, Chicago District, and I think the Huntington District as well. There may be others, but those are the only ones I know for sure.

The Lake Division is basically the former NS lines between Chicago-Cleveland and Detroit and Cincinnati/Portsmouth/Huntington. Exceptions are the Marion and Dayton Districts as they are ex-CR.

The Dearborn Division is basically the former CR between Chicago and Cleveland and the ex-CR trackage in MI.

My fat fingers reversed the "9" and the "0". I meant 29. Sorry for any confusion.

By the way, there is still hope I may have the recordings of Forest and Lafayette during the Amtrak era on the Fort Wayne Line. I found a recent recording of Amtrak 40 calling back the Kirby dragger.

If you don't, I do-I recorded all of them circa 1989-90 on the Fort Wayne line from Toldeo Jct. to West Richey.

The HBD's are an interesting science of infra-red detection. I've worked with HBD's since 1983 :)

You did notice the last update to the list was back in 2011?

It's just possible things have changed over the last 9 years?
