E&LS SD40-2 503 went on the ground Monday or Tuesday in Stiles, WI. That may be in the same location where they had a large grain train derailment last year.

Man, they have a shoestring maintenance budget up there, don’t they?

Something to consider too. The Moroun family owns the former McLouth steel land in Trenton and currently has a “railroad” company that recently reinstalled the crossing over W. Jefferson last summer. They’ve floated out the possibility of having some kind of intermodal terminal there, which NS would...

What county?

And 4 in total, no?

I’m not sure, there’s a few non-operational locomotives. I’ll have to ask

Don’t remember if it’s been posted here or not, but Charlotte Southern #3, the final GE 44 Tonner built, has been sold to the Southern Michigan Railroad Society.

For those keeping score at home, that makes 3 operational we have.

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.

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.
