Well that is still cool! Even though I've only seen the
"Grinder" trains a few times, I have never seen this thing!!!! Do you (or anyone else) know if
they will be kept parked at Mt. Clemens this weekend? It would be nice to photograph freight trains passing the
Loram® equipment!!!!
Correction - it's not a LORAM work train, it's HERZOG. It's parked for the night in the dock track in Mount Clemens. Don't know if they work tomorrow.

I saw it on the siding in Mt. Clemens today, Sat. 4-27!!!! This equipment is not my "Favorite," but it's interesting! Yes, it's HERZOG®! The "Confusion" was the name "Loram®!!!!"
