Re: L'anse, Mich. question
Does anyone know if CertanTeed-- or Koppers, has a trackmobile, or something to move cars? I ask because all of the vids show strings of cars being pulled out or pushed into this area, but yet nothing to show CN actually moving/ placing cars at CertainTeed, which would require a run around move, and...

Re: CSX Locomotive Roster News, Updates & Information Thread
Wonder how those SD23'S would work out, if there were more of them, and they were kept in a dedicated consist. Like an old Baldwin-- they won't work with other locos, but have an entire lash- up of Baldwins, and they would pull anything. And, use alot less fuel.

L'anse, Mich. question
According to Google maps, there are 2 separate ends of track in L'anse-- one on the old mainline, with a passing track, and one that branches off and crosses a main road, also with a passing track. Near the end of track, there is a switchback into Certainteed/ Celotex. How many car lengths are there...

Is Terex the old Pettibone plant? And in L'anse, they still have Celotex, correct?

Re: Indianapolis Q&A
The SD70 seems to be the SD40 of the 2000's, everybody likes them. About the SD90's-- they were not that old, so what was the issue with replacing them?? I thought they were a good loco.............

Re: Holland Railfan Meet 7/12/23
Used to go with my son to Fostoria for Railfan day. Was OK,no problems for a few years. Then, as more people got involved, the goofy stuff started. Being told that someone was filming, to be quiet, or telling a mom that she really should not let her kids ON the tracks, then being told where to go---...

Re: You never know
The genset phase, that RR's went through-- remember seeing that alot used Cummins truck engines as power, which, is a good diesel.They had 2 or 3 of them, depending on what the load was. Do not know why they did not work out. The theory was valid, but , there must have been issues, as saw a video of...
