Very interesting. I'm sure it's quite a tough live to live like that permanently, but it has some sort of appeal even if it's a irrational one. It would be interesting to experience that lifestyle, always on the road, only you holding you back from anything you want to do. Although it would probably...

An unnamed short line shoving some cars through a curve, uphill on wet rail, they had two locos, but not MU'd.

One engineer to the other, "Go easy through the curve, then kick her in ass! She'll bite back otherwise"

Just read them online... dont print..

Also, many if not all of the police freqs have gone digital and I cannot even pick them up on my Uniden scanner Only very select areas, there's 2-3 agencies(Macomb/Oakland notably) that are using encryption on dispatch channels in the general Detroit area. Jackson, Lenawee, Hillsdale, Ingham(IIRC) ...

As far as ND&W freqs, or any freqs really, most scanners have a search function where you can search a whole band(aircraft, marine, railroads, etc) the railroad band isn't huge so just do a search and you'll get it with in a few minutes if there's chatter on a freq.

Someone else told me that JAIL now has or was getting 2 E8 locomotives.

Yeah they're going to put them on the dinner train in Charlotte along with the dome car and charge $198.95 a seat.



And if you believe that I have some ocean front property in Kansas for sale...

Well here I am half-way through my break with nothing done.. :roll: Did find a 4x8 I already had, will try to chop that in half today or tomorrow. Tonight I've gotta sort out what track I have and what I need yet. Sunday I'll be over at the Monroe train show and will try to get what I can for fairly...

J-Bar Hobbies in Tecumseh has a few on their shelf, about $50 I think.

Gonna have to make a trek down there I guess. I didn't know they sold G Scale.

Does MAW switch the facility just to the west of Woodburn, or does the line change over to NS right in town?
