Also, did the DT&I have arches built all the way down to Carleton? Alongside the mainline there appear to be bases for what appear to be arches spaced regularly along the line. I thought it was just the Dearborn Branch. yep, flat rock to dearborn They put some foundations in for arches south of Fla...

Not sure of the Number but there’s a NS train heading east through Romulus with the Central Jersey HU trailing.

Seems he had his share of demons but it doesn’t do any good to speculate.

As a side note as well since Nick and I are collabing on this, I’ll be arriving at the tracks any time between 5-7 am. Any further questions and suggestions can be referred to myself as well. Hey Royal: how did it go? What trains did you see? Is the tower still standing? Tower is still standing act...

If anyone is local and wants to see the BC Rail HU, it’s tooling around Flat Rock yard. I just saw it on the south side shuttling around a cut of cars.

Something heading out of Flat Rock crossing Allen road. Monster of a train.

IORY waiting to depart Flat Rock as of 3:05

Heard a horn coming from that direction about 30 minutes ago. Could have been IORY or it could have been CN doing yard work, unknown which one it was for sure.

Just drive around for a while, you’ll find him

Big a** fire along the tracks south of Mt Clemens. Some people claiming a train is involved. No confirmation. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=warren%20scanner It’s a warehouse of a company that distributes vapes and vape supplies.

Did they have a train die in Rockwood a few hours ago? Saw one parked as I crossed the tracks on Woodruff Rd then there was a second engine that appeared to have pulled the first engine off the train for some reason.

Speaking of The Chicken, here’s Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree/The Pineapple Thief/King Crimson doing a drum solo on David Letterman using bits of The Chicken.

When I worked at the A&B only one entity (allegedly) had the GP9 wiring diagrams after they were rewired and they were not an employee, could you imagine trying to fix something all the time with no prints?

Harder, yes, but not impossible if everything is labeled correctly.

The railroad crossing is in the middle of the intersection there. A car accident occurred this morning. The damaged car wasn't moved in time and was hit by the train. Yet another in a long line of car-train collisions that could have easily been prevented by calling the emergency number on the blue...

IORY Southbound out of flat rock. Unknown cars and power as the gates came on after I crossed

RIP MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer. Such an influential band and guitar player. Hard to find a band who doesn’t cite him as an influence

I heard ADBF has a couple new engines, a pair of SD40's. Can someone confirm that? They’ve reached an agreement to purchase four GP40s from LSRC. 1162, 1164, 1171 and 1174 https://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/Lake_State_Railway#Current_LSRC_Locomotive_Roster Why are they also buying the parts sou...

Based on the signal arrangement entering the yard (R/Y), I’m pretty sure there’s an IORY train inbound to Flat Rock as of 3:05.

I see NS and CSX trains on the former NYC going through downriver, with NS taking the southbound traffic and CSX with northbound traffic. NS ownership of the line begins in Gibraltar between Old Fort and Gibraltar Rd. Not 100% sure where CSA ownership begins on the northbound track. Meanwhile on the...
