Status of the rails on Joslyn. If they do come back probably need to run a new set of tracks from I75 to the plant.

Man, I remember how beautiful that crossing looked when I was a kid.

Congratulations to the Vicksburg Historical Society as their Vicksburg Union Depot was listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service earlier this month! The 1904-built high style depot stood at the diamond of the GR&I mainline north to Mackinaw City and the GTW Chi...

Caught a brief glimpse of 151’s tail end as he passed the 96/131 interchange. Seems kinda early for them

CKIN 5115 just set out a solid cut of clean NS hoppers at the CO-Alliance elevator here in Wellsboro. 813 is already working with them, lots of white smoke from the locomotive

W085-14 (ballast train) @ 17:35 eastward reported from mp CG14.0 with UP engines #7680 + #8178 & 89 loaded cars & rear dpu UP engine #7134. He had advised the Dispatcher they will be working on the Plymouth sub-division to drop ballast from mp CH89 to CH87 & mp CH75 to CH60.

Clear Grandville

Per a Facebook post this morning, it appears that the Hoosier Valley Railway Museum folks are working to acquire the CHS power car. Should be a good pickup for them and IMHO a big missed opportunity for the CPMY folks. Why they did not get the generator car with the coaches is a head scratcher to me.

Y121 WB at Grandville with the Geep and Caboose

L303 clear “CP Riders Hobby Shop”, just west of Schaffer with a pair of GE’s. Set of spine cars behind the power. Short train today

Z151 was seen from 196 about 5 min ago all the way down at Lamar with its train. Pair of orange units sandwiching two yellow Geeps.

Any mention of 302? 17:54 - L302 thru WE Brighton with 581, 5379, and 4057 leading 91 cars. Calling CH 51 at 17:58. Two ex-C&NW hoppers with coal, and lots of MOCX hoppers towards the end, in addition to three Cryo-Trans reefers. ZVBX 625751 and 18021 up front, and two PDNX gondolas numbered 625621...

Got an EB with a Tier 4 GE and a CN100 unit leading a long EB at Ribbey Rd, just west of Shaftsburg.

Any mention of 302?

L508 is on his way clear CP Gaines with two SD70M-2’s and an SD60. Has a Southern 86’ autoparts boxcar around a dozen cars back behind the power. Not a long train.

251 is now underway. The only damage they suffered is a ditch light that is now burned out

Keep your eyes open for a W028-26 & a W026-09. Both are in Russell, Kentucky at the moment, with eventual movement to Barr and later Grand Rapids. Not much info on either currently however The W028-26 has SD40-2 #8052 leading. ** W02826 was annulled and the train is now W02809. Rail train with the 8...

We usually operate between 12:30 pm and midnight. I am also the Chief Commercial Officer rr for the railroad and yes, we are working on bringing multiple new customers online.

Can't wait to see it.

Check your inbox when you get a chance, I sent you a PM.

Good luck catching any movements through Carleton nowadays. Durand and Lansing are the best spots to go to in Michigan. I'm also going to give my two cents regarding the Chicago line. The former NYC Chicago line isn't my go to line at all. It does get indeed boring. The ex B&O between fostoria and ...
