I am trying to figure out who you are thinking of, but you pretty much described half the office.

It is supposed to go west all the way to Porter, after that I am not sure where it will go.

CSX is now hiring 10 conductors in GR, 10 in Flint, and 10 out of Port Huron. Go to CSX.com to apply.

Yep, that is the new CP leaving Stanley yard.

Oh please!! There was a minor derailment on an industral lead! Your right that does not happen on any other railroads!

How about S33522 Zack. Thats how they hide a late train. They don't take a hit on the 'stats' that way. I'll look right now though. If it doesn't show up though that means a nice "friday' for the gang at the west end too! Look for Das Doktor in the GRPress soon, maybe even todays edition. I'm in 'd...

N954 actually made AnnPere Hill with ease despite not going all that fast through Howell.... What a minute, isn't N954 supposed to run via Garrett-Toledo? Last time I recalled Essexville Coal going via Grand Rapids it was symboled N956. I'm not saying that your wrong or anything Bob, but lately it'...

Q

Be on the lookout for an Essexville to run via Grand Rapids, N95407, should be called out of Chicago sometime this afternoon.

(although there have been rumors that it could wind up on the CKIN, as part of the HVRM). That would be really cool, as the CKIN main between North Judson and Union Mills is welded rail. Yes, you read correctly, welded rail. Under Conrail in 1981, this was a major route that also hosted the Amtrak ...

So I heard, AFTER, they got to Howell, that D709-03 got a 12 noon call time instead of the normal 10 am because of the tardy arrival back to Ensel on Thursday night with the code line being down and all the trains ahead of them. This in turn means it took them four hours of waiting for dead trains ...

D709-03 had their crew today after all as they just went over the Fowlerville DD at 605pm with 80 axels, 22 more more than yesterday when they never made it east of Fowlerville because of the code line being out and two many 10mph trains at the same time when they wanted to head east. While sitting...

E949 GOING IN THE PASS AT NEW BUFFALO FOR N954
DOK IS THIS JUST A REROUTE OR IS THE PISSING MATCH OVER BETWEENUPPER MANAGEMENT AND THE CREWS AT WEST OLIVE.

Reroute. The last thing the Garrett sub needs right now is more trains....

I spotted a couple freight cars and the Alco switcher they have on the interchange track with the CSX at Wixom today. I understand the Alco has been sold, so watch for CSX to pick it up here soon and whisk it away somewhere. It will probably come down to Plymouth on D739, and rather go on D717 to D...

Should I start with an epic fail also???? E951 was not held for welding at Romulus, if there was a train to be run the welder would have been kicked off..... With all to respect, why did I hear over the scannar that they were going to only allow one more train over the diamond (That was Q304) and t...

Its an assigned pool so the crew gets paid even if they sit at home. The guys that are still qualified to run via the Harbor from the CP run through days are coming in very handy.

For everybody along the CSX system, the CSX Saginaw Sub is currently shut-down due to NS needs to do welding on the diamond in Romulus. Q304 was the last train to go through and will not let E951 leave Flint until the welding is finished which is likely to be after dark. Should I start with an epic...

I have not heard a thing around the office in Cal city.
