they will be kept parked at Mt. Clemens this weekend? It would be nice to photograph freight trains passing the Loram® equipment!!!! :mrgreen:
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.

HERZOG®! The "Confusion" was the name "Loram®!!!!"
