Frozen frosted brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts are the bomb! Meh. Frosted raspberry fresh out of the toaster for me. :D https://www.poptarts.com/en_US/products/all-flavors/pop-tarts-frosted-raspberry-product.html Neither. Strawberry. Definitely strawberry second when raspberry isn't available.

First time hearing of MMMM was on Facebook yesterday. Sounds like a really cool place and I don't how its existence has eluded me all my life, especially since I've driven by it or ridden by it in a car dozens of times in my life.

William Post, inventor of the Pop-Tart, dead at 96.

Awesome photo JT

Thanks. I randomly arrived at Trowbridge and put my drone up in the air a minute before the EB BNSF train arrived...and I had no idea there was CSX train waiting to cross the diamond. Score! (terrible lighting, though)

The EB signals for both lines are close enough to the diamonds that they won't be in the way of the reconstruction. CSX's is on the south-side of the tracks, so with a likelihood of construction trucks and etc possibly/probably using that lot to get in and out as needed, they won't have to pass by ...

I was just asking a question, yall dont gotta be so rude

Take a moment to yourself and have a rational thought. Do you REALLY think if this happened your "buddy" would be the first one telling you, instead of seeing that info posted here first by those in the know?

Come on, don't be so naive.

Grand Elk horns heard south of GR at 12:20pm. Presumably northbound.

Just heard Grand Elk’s horn off in the distance. Not sure if they are headed into Grand Rapids or out.

Country singer Toby Keith dead at 62.

RIP MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer. Such an influential band and guitar player. Hard to find a band who doesn’t cite him as an influence

'Rocky' star Carl Weathers dead at 76
He was also in movies like 'Predator' and 'Happy Gilmore'

I prefer faster drying paste as well.

Keep in mind there is no single spot to sit in New Buffalo to be able to see both CSX and Amtrak/NS, and you might have several hours of nothing. Rubbish! Just hang out on the shoulder of the WB overpass of 94 and you’ll catch all the action of both railroads. :lol: 5B051A2D-02C4-4C02-AD8E-CBA86D24...

Dude I am not from Battle Creek, yes I have good train action in Battle Creek but the people around were really sketchy.

Right, because every inch of Battle Creek that has railroad tracks through it is filled with sketchy people.

Hello everyone,

My dad, another person, and I are launching a railcam network for locations around North America starting with Michigan and the Midwest, and we are looking for hosts that have the tracks visible from their locations! !

Sounds like a good idea!

Good luck, Carleton is so incredibly dead that you’ll be looking at tracks and signals for hours.

Definitely sounds like something he should be worried about.

Im just worried about how many trains Carleton sees in a 24 hour period

Are you still worried?

From my workplace in Grandville off of 44th, I can hear Grand Elk blowing down around 68th/76th. Not sure which direction they are going.

2:23pm edit: horns are getting louder. Now sounds like maybe 54th they are crossing. NB it is.

Grand Elk north through Byron Center at 12:45pm. WAMX 4189, WAMX 4206, and 37 cars.

GDLK North passing between 68th St and 54th St at 12:48

Just heard a Grand Elk horn a few minutes ago. Possibly heading back south now.
