Would you rather come across a wolf pack or one grizzly bear?

I think a wolf pack but both would be intense

Would you rather accidentally send a sexy text to a relative or to your boss?

I wish to work at Buc-ees

Granted, and you take Mrs Michael there on date night while you are working to get the employee discount


I wish honey did not stick to my fingers

Don't scrap them yet. I know a railroad / organization that might be willing to buy the RS2u's.

In what will be considered sad news GRSE will be scraping/selling all four of its ALCo’s and replacing them with a GP38-2: Owner: Grand Rapids Southeastern Model: EMD GP38-2 Built As: CRIP 4341 (GP38-2) Serial Number: 757136-27 Order No: 757136 Frame Number: 757136-27 Built: 11/1976 Notes: Acq 2024 ...

D&GR has agreements with Alma & Mid-Michigan (A&MI) and Grand Rapids Southeastern (GRSE) to rent SD60’s 6017 and 6020 on their unit grain trains. A&MI averages about one unit train a month and GRSE two a month. The Anderson’s in Pewamo average about one a month too so by all three railroads bundling...

It was thought the old Dunn Paper plant was for sale. But recently it was learned that it remains owned by the successor of Dunn Paper, BiOrigin Specialty Products. Closed in October 2022, they have not indicated that the plant is for sale, are still the owner and continue to pay taxes on the proper...

Would you rather work on an off shore oil rig or a as scientist in Antarctica?

Neither are a good match for me but I'll go with the physical labor of working on an off shore oil rig.

Would you rather wear a necktie every day or never be able to wear a necktie again?

Correct, ex-GTW 4910. They moved the tubes down from the top to the side of the hood so it would fit in the coal dumper shed IIRC.

The 4910 was formerly at the Erickson Power plant of the Lansing Board of Water & Light. I believe it is ex GTW.

Looks great!

I like the IORY updates. From what I understand it runs two or three times per week and usually has 10-30 cars. Are they still handling dry ice to ADBF?
