Re: CN Flint Sub ATCS

There is no coverage between Battle Creek and Potterville. First you need a host to provide the server usually a Control Point and near the tracks. It would be nice to find a host near Battle Creek to provide covrage in that area. Hope this helps.

Re: Kansas City Southern in Dowagiac.......

Thanks for the information. Looks like the train came in and the power was cut off and left for the weekend. I would guess it will be loaded this week and head west. Will be listening for that onthe radio.
