Very cool map, thanks for sharing

It going to Walton Junction for the Manistee River Bridge project. There already stock piling crane matting and all sorts of materials that need to be moved back and forth from the bridge to the staging area. Does anyone know where all the material for the bridge project will even come from, becaus...

Has CSX fallen at a similar rate?

It would be nice to get more intermodal traffic in Michigan since CN poured so much money into building a brand new tunnel in Port Huron back in 1995. Weirdly enough, CN does not have a single intermodal pair from Chicago to Toronto. Not a dedicated intermodal only maybe but there is at least one p...

As per FB the Housatonic has acquired two GP15-1s, 1510 and 1511. Assume they got these from LTEX

IIRC work is supposed to start 2025 and be completed by 2027.

Eastern coal loads N904 are rolling down E02 track with a train of 90 Bethgons for the JH Campbell generating plant in West Olive.

I also read that most of the potash (about 325,000 tons) will be for local consumption in MI, IN and OH so if that's true it will stay on trucks from origin to destination

Interesting to hear. Still sounds like a decent amount of business for GLC.

I wonder how these coils will be delivered to the GDLK. Maybe NS via Kalamazoo (wishful thinking) or Elkhart?

What on earth does CSX have (customer wise) on this route besides the grain silos mentioned above, the potash facility in Fowlerville, the GLC interchange in Howell, and twin city foods in Lake Odessa?

Surprised it took this long to register---- not in TSBY colors, but rather in U P. colors,where 1977 came from. I am getting too old !!!

Though it may not look it, this unit was fully repainted by TSBY.

Starting at the south end of the area, near Pitt Jct, I see that in 1985 the topo map still shows the AA line running all the way up to just before the station (where the siding ends now, before joining the Holly Sub main). There were two tracks (one AA and one GTW) crossing Pittsburg Rd. Now the G...
