Looks like the east end of the siding down past White Pigeon, looking towards the west at the Andersons' Grain elevator on the left

some history: No F40's ever ran 110 on the Michigan line....Amtrak didn't start running 110 until 2012....pretty sure there was no f40's running anywhere leading an Amtrak train at that point As for the power requirements on trains over a certain car count....who knows?? trains heading west get 2 or...

the "battle plan" for Michigan Service is to run trains with 2 engines with ONLY these trains until the weather abates:

350-355
365-364
370-371

plan your photo ops accordingly

No 353 today.....and no eastbounds to PNT today either....running 355 tonight....and hopefully 364 gets out of Chicago ( so I can get out of the hotel in BTL, but I'm not holding my breath on that)

no psgr removed from 365......after seeing the conductor was serious with the threat of removal from the train with the Durand police officer standing behind him, the psgr paid for his ticket......what was funny was the LSA freaking out about the "trespasser walking alongside the train" and making a...

Looking south thru the "tunnel" at the Russell Industrial Center towards CP Murray on the CN Shore Line Dist.

Used to be that people would sit at the cement plant off of Hartzell Rd. in New Haven to watch the traffic as it came thru the NE jct., which is just east of the yard. NE consists of a diamond crossing of the Chicago-Bellevue line and the Detroit-Peru line with connecting lines on the north and sout...

Yes, trains are running again.....355 has the Charter Wire cars on the rear......354 is running push/pull....full schedule tomorrow......and no, 355 wasn't running track speed when it went up the ramp

That was pre-ITCS......IF this service comes back, it will have to have the state owned Changers on it

Charter Wire cars were seen on B-19 yesterday I believe.....if so, then B-25 should have them spotted in AA today

Kalamazoo, with an eastbound coming in hot!!

other than it was a 3800-something, nope.

Hey Tom, you must have been right by me, close to Shingleton when you saw that train....

Yesterday while driving the roads in da U.P., swung thru Newberry to check out the status of the new enginehouse. Looked finished structurally, there was a ballast regulator sitting outside of it. The new WSOR engine was sitting next to the station with the black engine right next to it with someone...

wonder how many owners there have been since this Klemme car was on the Hillsdale County Railroad back in the mid-80s'

Grayling, looking west at the Crawford County offices....the old MC station is to the right of this photo and this crossing now only has one set of tracks crossing thru here

Looking east at the log loading area at the end of the state hospital branch in Newberry off of Industrial Park Drive

What are you guys doing in terms of speed now?

Timetable

indeed it is.....I gotta look fast to see if you are out on the patio now

train status was not correct....that was 351 ....they had ptc issues after getting by MAL Jct.....had to stop and re-initialize and since they were btw signals, had to run restricted speed til the 20 signal

Looks to be a WB on the Michigan Line at Nichols Tower.....the Post cereal plant is in the background---the plant profile looks the same today when I come thru here
