Makes you wonder how strategic it was that CP purchased the remaining percentage of the Detroit-Windsor MC rail tunnel last year....

Who owns the connecting trackage between CP Lou and CP Michigan Ave in Dearborn? Conrail, or CP?

Strategic for the city of Detroit maybe, they need the cash.

UP/CN/Ferromex? UP owns 26% of Ferromex already and the conflicts seem limited. There’s your second multinational road. Even taking CN out of that hypothetical the UP could just acquire the rest of Ferromex and be competitive with the CPKC. BNSF would go nuts over it though. That's what I'm saying,...

Don't forget. This is a propsal. NS, UP, BNSF, CN , FWW, SO will all weigh in on this. It’ll go through most likely. The conflicts are nearly non existent. It’ll get folks thinking responsive mergers though. Who else would/could merge? Maybe CN/NS or CN/CSX but I can't think of anything else that m...

Big if true

That's an awesome pic. Do you mind if I snatch that and use it as my desktop background?

I've bee watching eBay for these shells, but is there any other online websites where you can find used model railroad items for sale? Facebook Marketplace is starting to be a spot where people are selling stuff on. With no train shows in the last 15 months people are finding any site they can to s...

Let me rephrase, I go by guardian glass every day on my way too/from work but never at the time of day they typically get serviced via rail, not since I moved to day shift. This time last year I would see a NS Geep sitting at the gate on my way to work (about 5pm) typically about once a month. I've ...

Does the Guardian glass plant still get rail service? Speaking of rusty rails...past few times I've crossed the Lincoln Secondary south of Brownstown, I've noted quite a bit of surface rust on those rails also. And, I can count on one hand the number of trains to/from Carleton that I've seen along ...

Speaking of rusty rails...past few times I've crossed the Lincoln Secondary south of Brownstown, I've noted quite a bit of surface rust on those rails also. And, I can count on one hand the number of trains to/from Carleton that I've seen along that line in the past year or so. There's been far les...

I haven't seen much running out of the south end of Flat Rock in a few months. At one point in the last few weeks the rails had a decent amount of surface rust on them.

Clean and oil the gears and see if that helps

I also have not seen a single milepost on the Hamilton Branch, so I have no clue as to where the railroad starts on paper and where it ends. MP17 is in the middle of the Hamilton branch, located at Fillmore Rd: https://railpictures.net/photo/362100/ Oh my those tracks are MAW quality right there

How did SEIU become a railroad's representative? They specialize in housekeeping and service personnel.

Is GLC Union?

Yes. SEIU

The same reason the UAW represents Casino workers. Need that sweet, sweet dues money.

It's generally 10 feet either side of the tracks isn't it?

And now she's dead again: https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/05/tanya-ro ... ouncement/

Such an odd sequence of coverage about a celebrity's death.

Same thing happened with Tom Petty. It was very odd.

Tanya Roberts, 65, American actress (A View to a Kill, That '70s Show, Charlie's Angels). Jan, 3 2021 Not so fast! She's still alive! :shock: https://www.tmz.com/2021/01/04/tanya-roberts-still-alive-rep-saying-shes-dead-70s-show-bond-girl/ Sounds pretty dire. Also reminds me of Tom Petty.
