Yeah that males total sense. I guess I always thought they returned the train to the main yard for some reason, instead of having the conductor come pick them up in a seperate vehicle. I have seen it done where the conductor just rides on the train with the engineer most of the time. Thats why I was...

Tonight I headed to Elkton after I thought I missed the train out of BAd Axe at around 8:30. I got out to Elkton and no train out there either. I said screw it, and on the way Back I headed down Geiger Road parallel to the tracks, and all the sudden about 4 miles down boom their she was the head lig...

What exactly do the guys do that go around to most of the crossings in the white Vans and trucks with the Huron and Eastern Logo's on the side of the trucks? Are they just Flagmen, or do they give the crew a ride back when they tie an engine down somehere? I just met one when I was chasin a trin to ...

Thanks AARR. Wow I forgot the Michigan Railroad Message Board has those timetables on their site for rail milaege. Nice.

I tried to count it aprox using google earth, and I am coming up with rite about 40 miles. So i figure it would take them rite about 1 hour and 40 minutes to get there or so on a non stop run. darn thats alot shorter than i thought.

Does asnyone know the rail mileage from Bad Axe to Croswell. I want to figure out approx how long it takes the train to get there on a non stop straight run there. There were doing about 30 to
35 today on the way to Crowell when i was beside them on that road south of carsonville.

I talked to the train engineer in Bad Axe today. they did the Croswell Run today '"TUESDAY", and also spent along time in deckerville switching some hoppers around. They should be about heading back rite about now. Does anyone know the rail mileage from Bad axe to Croswell? I followed them to Decker...

I found out from one of the train engineers, that operates out of Bad Axe on the Saginaw Line at night, that they have been starting out at the Wallace Stone Quarry Near Bay Port, and heading to Saginaw instead of leaving from Bad Axe a 8 like they usualy do. There was also an Engine tied up in Ruth...

I believe there was a circular turn around type track near where that mill is today in Grind Stone. And I think that road that goes along the shore is part of the old ROW. I have looked in the area south of Wallace Rd. and There is an old pier that goes out into the water there, and north and south ...

Does anyone know. If Huron & Eastern is still doing the run to Croswell on Sunday? If so when aproximately does it return to Bad Axe. I would like to catch it on the way back some night and get some night time pics. Thanks Railnut.

Does anyone know how often, and when the Wallace Stone Quarry out near Bay Port is serviced? I saw an engine there stored overnight on the siding last night. At around 11 P.M. Lots of hoppers were there on the sideing as well. I know they are out there today all day loading stone. I am wondering how...

Hmmm REAPER, that is the time I usualy catch them returning from Deckerville, or Ruth. So yeah that sounds about normal for them.I'm thinkin they just left earlier this time. Or who know, maybe they never did the Sebwaing run this time on Tuesday.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I went into the Wallace Stone Quarry drive, and there was an engine there just sitting dark and not running. Kinda surprised to see it sitting there in the dark on the siding.

Well tonite I headed over to Bad Axe, and arrived there at 7:35. I went straight to the yard, and it was obvious immediately that the Main switch track was open to get onto the Wye to head West. I then headed over to mortimer lumber expecting to possibly see a train heading down the line to elkton, ...

Can someone tell, or show me on a map where the junction was located in Caro, for the DBC&W into Bay City. I cannot seem to see it on aerial view, except for rite beside the ball field, and then acorss the main the road. But when it comes the actual tournout, or wye. I cannot tell where it was locat...

Another movement tonite on the Bad Axe Saginaw Line. I went to Bad Axe at 8 P.M. tonite, and they were switching cars across M-142, and then they turned out on the wye and headed to Elkton at around 9 P.M. this time. I wasn't gonna chase them this time but being the train/railnut that I am, I couldn...

Does anyone know the year the West Leg of the Wye in Pigeon was removed? It is still quite obvious by the cement in the parking lot that was a Wye another leg there ar one time.

LOL @TOM, Well Tom, it matter's that that the engine was a 1978 GP-38, cuz if it were any other year the kids would have prolly seen it coming lol. hahahah Yeah that was funny how they listed the make, and year of the train in the paper.

MP73point4, hahahaha ok, Thanks for the correction's lol....

MKT, They were using engine #3865 for the trip too Sebwaing. I am wondering where all Huron n Eastern's blue, white and yellow engines went too. Unless they just repainted them in the red, blue and grey scheme they are using now?
