The news of this terrible tragedy has made its way to musical communities in distant parts of the world - this from the famous column of my friend, Norman Lebrecht, in London. She was a remarkable and extraordinary soul to be sure. https://slippedisc.com/2025/01/blind-violinist-20-is-killed-by-train...

L515 working Chrysler in Mount Clemens at 11:30. 4 cars pulled, 1 bad order left inside the plant and 4 cars spotted. Appears things are picking up at this location after a lull of several months. CN 5433. Have a big Conrail pickup on the way home to Pontiac. L515 met M382 at Mount after a lengthy w...

SB 515 with 5433 and a short train (though it did what looked like some boxcars for Chrysler for the first time in a while) went past MP 22.5 7:47 am.

Yep, those boxes did indeed go to Chrysler in Mount Clemens today. 515, 533, 383 and 382 all through MC this morning.

Fantastic news. Jason Johnson is a part of RJD, and that gives you a good indication at the point of departure as to the credibility of this project. I chased that thing for 18 days straight in January of 1985 as it hauled coal up the New River in West Virginia with Ross Rowland at the throttle. Lov...

L515 (CN 5340) pulled 2 loaded scrap gons and 1 loaded baled paper box from GLR in Fraser at 9:40, and pulled 1 loaded box from Chrysler in Mount Clemens at 10:20. Had some tanks for CargoFlow, and a dozen or so loads of lumber for Nolan and a long string of loaded gons from DCon as well. Will work ...

Find yourself a copy of "The Nation Pays Again" by Thomas Ploss. Everything you will ever need to know about the demise of The Milwaukee Road. The Todd Jones article mentioned above by Erroneous Monk is excellent, but if you want a more complete sizing up of that catastrophe, you'll get it with Plo...

A train with 5 auto racks and solo M-2 SB on the Holly went into emergency just now at the Raven Signals. Anyone know what this could be?

Having a tremendous view from our home of the C&O mainlines on both sides of the New River at Hawks Nest, West Virginia, I invited a group of Michigan railfans to come down and camp out on the property this week as traffic has increased quite a bit with the rerouted trains from the wiped out Clinchf...

I think CN is letting the tracks cool off after M383 passed Mount Clemens depot awhile ago. CN/CN/CN/CN/CN (3x2x0), 12,000' and heavy, heavy, heavy. Not sure if they are dumping some of that at East Yard, but it's a monstrosity...
