Safari

Sorry to burst your bubble, man; but Astro's and/or Safari's don't really kick butt.

I'd give you a little more credit if you had a Jeep Wrangler like me...

I believe what your talking about is a "job shadow". Your friend must know a lot about locomotives if mentored the locomotive foreman. Mentor is basically another word for teacher. The word internship is not confined to any age group, it's basically a "test period" as when a new worker is brought in...

Confused?

NS's GEVOs are #7500-7564. The 2649-2700 spots are reserved for SD70M-2s, which is what 2690 and 2692 are.

railpictures

I got 315 in by last April/May? Then I quit. Instead of only getting half of the ones accepted that I want, putting the rest on RRPictureArchives, I just put them ALL on RRPixArch. I think I'm getting pretty close to 200 there. Much less stressfull than RP.net...

Not too bright?

Why does the future for Michigan railroading not look bright? CSX selling it's lines could actually be a good thing. Still just as many trains, and maybe the new railroads will treat their customers better, get more traffic, and get new customers altogether. Even though the CP trains are going, I'm ...

Mr. Tops' Marquette Meandering

After a heads-up from Paul D. on the Shortlines board, I decided to get out of my pj's for a little while and go east to see if I could find Marquette heading north out of GR. Went from Muskegon to Casnovia on M46 then followed the tracks south from there, crossing them every so often. As I crossed ...

Lemscate

Lemscate, the train symbol was D904, not LD904. Probably just a typo on Dok's part.

Actually

It's only one train each way...2 total. X512 eastbound and X747 westbound are now 32T and 29T respectively, on NS. Like Patrick said, it's been quite a while now since the trains have migrated. There is another pair of trains (X502/X503) due to move in the coimng months, however CP will be keeping a...

3839 was 5106 until they renumbered it. And MMRR 5080 was renumbered 3836.

I've added a page of all the details to my website. I'll be adding the facts as they come, and using the page as a timeline of events when the changeovers start taking place. Visit it at: http://www.midwestrailfan.com/lineleases.html

Uploading Videos

Alright, as some of you may have seen my failed attempt at posting videos on the Michigan Shortline message board, I was curious to know how to do it. What I did was sign up to a site that alllows free hosting of videos, but apparently, I am the only one who can watch them...unfortuneately. Any sugg...
