I was lucky enough too run too Bad Axe tonite, and I I hung around the rail yard at about 7 oclock, and there was 1 engine with 2 hoppers connected in the yard, and a long string of about 30 cars or so that were lined up. I did some shoppin, and when I got out I checked the yard again, at about 8 P....

Thanks AARR. I have acquired much info on this board already. It is a great site.

Do they usualy leave Bad Axe at 8 A.M. REAPER? Is this usualy on Tuesday's and Thursday's? I haven't been able too catch them on the the other days around Bad Axe. Thanks. Sincerely Railnut0571

Awesome videos, Info REAPER. What day did u catch this engine up in Kinde? Do you happen too know when they usualy do the Kinde run? Thanks sincerely Railnut0571

Can someone give me the railroad schedule for the old C&O. from the 1960's, or earlier. I would like too know the schedule from Port Huron too Harbor beach, and Port Hope, and Bad Axe too Harbor Beach etc. Wow this line must have been quite busy back in the passenger days, and later for freight even...

LOL OOPS yes LakeShore Electric....lol

Well now that I have found out that the southern parts of the the Huron N Eastern pretty much get serviced randomly as needed, My next question is can someone tell me when the train usualy leaves Bad Axe too head too Elkton, and Pigeon on the Saginaw line. I have seen them come from the south of Bad...

Ok I found old topos of Fremont OH on Historical Aerials site. I did not know the michigan electric railway ran down the center ot State St. until I saw these topos. The line i was talking about is the other Michigan Electric Railway branch that approches cottage st. on an angle then it joined with ...

My main question I am trying to ask is where did the line go after crossing Cottage St.? I can see where it used too come up too the next street after Cottage St. and then it just appears to end or vanish. Did it continue down the middle of the Main St. or something past this point until it reached ...

Great info, but I am still a little confused. Did the line coming from Vickery just end along side that one shop rite before it got too main street then?

Does anyone know where this old line went that entered Fremont from Vickory, It just looks like it entered Fremont from Vickery on an angle and it comes into town just a lil ways and ends before it gets too the main Rd. Did this rail ever continue from here, or did it just end at this location? Was ...

I believe they travel between 25 to 35 mph on the line too Croswell. One you get out into Sanilac County Ive noticed the rail seems too be in much better condition, and I think its a heavier guage rail also.

In the last 2 days Ive been in bad axe there have been no engines in the yard at all. Lately last week I've noticed they have been returning too bad axe around 7 to 7:30 P.M. but this seems too be hit or miss as well. I caught them 2 weeks ago in Pigeon at around 8:30 P.M. switching the elevator on ...

I called HESR today and couldnt get thru for some reason they had me put on hold then it would just hang up after waiting along time. And i called the Kinde elevator, and all they would tell me is the train is coming within the next couple days, and they wouldnt tell me exactly what day or an approx...

AARR sounds likes thats my next step. I am gonna just have too call the office and see if they will tell me. I been wastin alot of gas lately going too my strategic locations where i used too be able too find them most times. I think they changed their operartions up a bit.

The HESR lines out of Bad Axe are realy frustrating me lately. I can't seem find any movements in any direction on that line lately. Someone said they went thru Ubly at 2 A.M. in ther frickin morning the other night. They musta made a run too croswell....

I was lucky enough too catch the train heading to Ruth about 2 weeks ago, and 2 days later I caught it again near Palms,as it turned off and returned too Bad Axe with about 10 cars. Now for the last 2 weeks I have gone too Bad Axe in the morning around 7:00 A.M. and I waited in Wilcox park for any m...

I followed the line from East Leroy into Battle Creek on Google Earth the other nite. It's interestinghow the line goes right thru where the expressway ramps are now. and then continues and winds its way around and into Battle Creek. Some if this old ROW is actualy people driveways now.

Just a lil story for yas all. Back in about 1980. I remember my dad's car breaking down right where the tracks used too cross in Port Hope on M-25, and My mom and I got out of the car, and in the ditch she happened too notice the old crossbucks laying in the bottom of the ditch in the weeds. And on ...

Does anyone have any photos of the old C&O line that used too go too Port Hope from Harbor Beach when it was still intact? I have tried too find photos of this line on the other MI Railroads message boards without any luck. I am interested in seeing any photos of the crossings, or any part of this o...
