PSR has changed everything. This line however was doomed from the day PRR and NYC merged! Well yeah and as puzzling as things are despite all its downgradings west of canton, still home to a handful of ns trains still, an as needed csx rock run to bucyrus, a way for the wheeling to run certain trai...

It could be as needed rock train that runs out of the MM Spore Quarry just northwest of Bucyrus. where csx has to utilize ex pennsy ns/cfe/whe trackage to access a spur on the nw corner and out to the quarry. Now they run back to either crestline and get back on csx that way or run it through wooste...

Bucyrus, Upper Sandusky, Vermilion, Sterling, and Clinton Village aka warwick....where RJ Corman interchanges with csx on that huge curve.

Way Way down on the South End of the IORY, at thee very end of the Oasis Sub is Undercliff Yard where CIG Logistics set up a transload here. So Ive been told that IORY now brings carloads of flour down here from North Dakota via the CFE at Lima from a Chicago connection. And add to Ive been told tha...

Yup, Ive been chatting with a couple of posters in some New England Railfanning facebook groups and they tell me that up to two pairs, maybe more could be rerouted away from Selkirk to make room there to avoid having trains backhaul to Rigby Yard in Portland Maine. Sounds like the original csx main ...

The good news is that the CCET is doing great business now and in the future in despite of some non-railfans of the CCET on this site. Now wait a cotton pickin minute, its not that nobody wanted this line to be abandoned just for the sake of being abandoned. Nobody wants to see a dying railroad lin...

With the addition of this additional train traffic, it makes one wonder if CSX shouldnt have pulled out that three mile long siding between Atwood Wye and Longwood Blvd on their former flint sub. And they tore out the yard in Tawas City some years back for a wal mart of all things.

Found out that agroliquid announced a production facility, a rail served one over near lake city fla earlier this year. https://nflp.org/news/article/agroliquid-announces-plans-for-new-production-facility-in-lake-city-florida#:~:text=03%2F06%2F2024&text=AgroLiquid%20announces%20the%20upcoming%20cons...

Don before the expansion and on a regular basis agroliquid sees 2 to 3 switches a week but the seasonal times of spring and fall are the busiest times of year. In these busy time periods they will get 8 to 15 cars at a time and just 3 to 8 during the offseason. they do ship loads out to other agro f...

Lots of conversation about the GLC lately and their big customer Zeeland farms. well ironically enough they have another customer that always seems to be flying under the radar in the railfan world. I for one am a big stickler when it comes to stuff like this but our man don simon is the rail custom...

Now that is sweet!

I bet the ranch that this kid was no railfan...maybe he was acting as an operative posing as a railfan.

Ok can some of you guys do me a favor and stop trying to bring up that rediculous AT2 passenger train study. I just want to scream whenever its mentioned. please stop

Which connecting road will they ship the most traffic too? the ns at Adrian? or IORY at Riga? or

Are you the one who created another Michigan Shore page when there is already a Michigan Shore page?

yeah thats a problem, can zack fix it?

What wall did LSRC supposedly hit?? Seems like they are OK, so far ..?? oh yeah, i agree. They are doing a ok but have you seen their newsletter lately? until early last year or 2022, they would always report about lineside customers etc...and lately it seems like the newsletter is lacking something.

I still dont understand. How did HESR a gwi subsidiary go from being a mediocre operation to leapfrogging the GLC and now even LSRC to being the top dog not only in the thumb but all of east central and north central michigan. GLC seemed to hold thier own after they moved thier operations over to ow...

This is bizaare, are they going to tear out the MMRR track and yard in Alma including the connection and Y? And does this have anything to do with Rickoff being out at LSRC? I thought the LSRC was growing and gaining customers?
