or you just get an agreement with ADBF and interchange in Adrian. not going to happen either. Still would require crossing over the NS mainline, which is the biggest problem and the reason your last statement is spot on. I can't imagine all the additional red tape that would be required to go from ...

355 struck a pair of trespassers at 7:04p near Ann Arbor mp 36.2. Both were alive, EMS has taken them to hospital. Waiting for management and investigation at this time.

The direct result of this is outside of west side CSX line updates, no more (or way less) Amtrak updates will be posted or found… how it was made sense and people knew where to look. It wasn’t broken and we probably didn’t need to fix it. Personally if you really wanted to “change” maybe an update s...

Let’s be honest. Investing in freight service is a HUGE financial risk to SMRS because they are completely at the mercy of NS pricing. The NS would probably charge a pretty penny to pick up from an interchange at Raisin Center, not to mention the transit times would be horrible. It’s a very risky i...

I have heard that these cars go into emergency if you open any of the doors at speeds above like 5 mph. How is that going to work for spotting? They don't appear to have Dutch doors like the older Amtrak cars. Probably what everybody else does, and post markers for train spotting. First day they mi...

Yesterday was the first day for a full train set of Venture cars on Amtrak 350. I was able to catch them in Ann Arbor as they made their first trip on the Michigan line on a revenue train https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOtMyv2sOb8 vOtMyv2sOb8 Edit: I can't seem to get the YouTube window to work pro...

I like the current way with P370/371 in CSX, and then Wolverine/ Blue water/ CL/ LSL all in Amtrak. On the east side of the state the trains hit Amtrak, MDOT, Conrail, and CN rails so having their own thread is fine (and not for on the host railroad threads for the wolverines/ blue waters). The PM t...

518/519 EB thru Chelsea at 15:55 w ballast train and that NS 4291 on the tail end. EB thru Dexter now, dropping ballast. I don't believe they would have been dropping ballast at 5pm considering they were by CP28 in Ypsilanti at 5:24pm. At the speed they run this thing, 20 mins is about what it woul...

Major heads up. Amtrak ballast train currently sitting at willow run facing east with two dash 8s.

That is where it has been for over a week. Won't be doing anything on a Sunday. They have been running work trains during the week for the last few weeks on and off.

I liked your choice of shots and most of your pacing. The Drone shots were also well done with the audio timing (something that is hard to do and time in general). Intro is a little long and that style of intro in general is not one I personally like (just my personal preference on the whole music/ ...

As far as I know the count for Delray over 24 hours is between 30-40 moves or so these days. From 9 to noon you typically will get something like this: 2-4 CP (H95, H96-if fast, 130 generally, and sometimes any of the other freights if they are "early" or "late") 1-2 NS (could be a 176, 121 if early...

Don't just randomly chase things. Chasing a class 1 is generally harder. Don't just drive hundreds of miles for 2 shots. Gas is expensive and it will get old for your parents or yourself when you need to fill up the car 4 times a week. Your photo often isn't worth the ticket or cost of the round tri...
