A heads up for any trains you plan on putting on the Mackinac Sub, there is a ban on six-axle units. 4 axles max....just a heads up...

Poop... I planed on using SD70ACe's on that service. I think I'm going to look for som B40-8's if any of you gis have em I'd be willing to trad some 6 axel dash 8s or other road power for them. Other wise I am looking for ex Santa fe ones.

WARBONNETS!!!!

That rule is due to track condition....I'd just pop a few Geeps on her and watch her go...We have a bunch we could upgrade to high-speed models, If you'd like...we could have a joint paint scheme or something

[YpsiAmtrakBoy]

I'll think about it. I need to trade my gp38's and gp35's in for newer power. I'll probably keep a few around but look for more engine sales soon

We love your old GP35s...we plan on upgrading them to GP35-3s, and they will be equipped for remote control ops, because they will be our main "yard" engine. We also have lots of GP38s and GP40s for our ex LSRC trackage, all out which is 4-axle territor except the line to Essexville

[DT&I]

The TCP loves your GP35's. We changed the trucks but other than that theyre still the same.

Could the GR&P haul windmill trains to the thumb? The reason I'm asking is the GR&P of course will need to use your line to get to Durand, and I'm not sure if extra trains with large windmill parts will be a nuisance on the AA.

Dont you have tracks in Durand?

[atrainguy60]

Yes, but I don't have tracks going to Toledo. I have to use trackage rights on the AA from Durand and Lakeland to Toledo and Diann to get to the other GR&P lines.

we are in the shopping for an E or F unit to use on our business train. we currently have the observation car and a dome car for our business train.

We found a F7A to use on our business train, will be in Toledo sometime this week and then painted into Some sort of Ann Arbor paint.

[YpsiAmtrakBoy]

F7A will be number 9, and we have changed the number series of F40PH's (now 10-13) and Dash 8's (now 14-15). Another note, the F40ph's and dash 8's are no longer specifically passenger service they will be reserved for working on the TM-Q1 and its counterpart. they wll work along side of other 4 axel units on these trains.

[YpsiAmtrakBoy]

We have aqquried 6 BNSF GP60M's, 4 in warbonnet and 2 in heritage II. these untis along with the F40PH's and P32-8s weill be assigned to the TM-Q1 and MT-Q1 TOFC trains. we will not repaint them right away because we want to try them out and put them on trains. we have also started leveling and preparing the ROW working north from Clare. hopefully we can start laying track in a week. the plan is for one crew to keep preaparing the ROW and the other will lay tracks behind them. Today our crews will work north and install a new switch in clare to head north.
