Me Too, Still . Ive done everything that I can think of, still no luck. I have lots of pics to share if this can be fixed.

I posted the heads up for this awhile ago . The latest wire for the Utica Industrial is that the new end of track is m.p.24.0. Sad indeed.

WELL then.....you are not going to the right scrap yards. I watch " urban recyclers " clean out railcars all the time. Then take it to a scrapyard, that has been told by the RR P.D. that they are being watched, and they happily take it. No questions asked! It's kinda funny the the scrap yard is also...

Zack. Did you recieve the picture? I've tried uploading pictures from other folders with no results.

That was the LV-4 job headed back to Livernois yard. The boxcar could be from Best Block, Friendship Materials, or MPI warehouse. The tanks could be from Quaker Chemicals, PVS, or D.A.Stuart oil. The Bomber ( B-58 ) crew is one of the local dog catchers the NS uses the recrew trains . Thanks for the...

Don, I am glad that you are all right. This is indeed a strange world ! You can railfan in some of the not-so-nice areas without as much as a passing glance from people. But, get dressed up in a downtown area and people want to mug you !

Zack, picture is on the way. Thanks.

Been tryng to post some new photos, I to get the sucessful upload spot and then the continue and then it sits for hours, i've timed it. Any ideas guys ? Thanks in advanced.

For the record, YWSS11 / FD11 / WS-2, 5:30am. YWSS20 / FD20 / WS-3 11:30a. YWSS34 / FD34 / WS-5, 3:59p. YWSS63 / FD34 / Relief. The Ford plant at 18 1/2 miles rd. does a lot of scrap loads and a few tanks of trans fluid. Production is suppose to start back up soon. They were able to handle 6 cars pe...

The KSC 4125 and KSC 4001 Arrived at Conrails River rouge yard this morning ( via the Lincoln secondary ) with empty steel racks ( dubbed the 'Lonestar' ) Its here until ????? Pictures to follow.

A lot of the work at Sterling yard is on a timed switch to keep the plants working ( i.e. not shutting down the lines ). Yes, the work at Sterling yard is down ( WAY DOWN ! ) but still the customers ( whats left ) still need to be switched on time & when the cars arrive. There are still 10 customers...

There is nothing worse in the world than an uninformed police officer ! This guy must have had nothing better to do. Now who ever this is has to go out of their way to get something thats legal to own back ! B.S. !!!!!!!

#2 ) CSX , Q 150 - 26 on the Livernois Industrial track. #8 ) NS , W 1 M ( ex-31-M ) Chrysler auto loads out of Conrails North yard. #17) CSX Q-305-26, out of Conrails Sterling yard. Hope this helps.

Your a lot safer parking by St.Marys. Street parking, is not a good idea, with the way the locals and the BIG trucks drive around there. I was just there today with no problem, except the pile of melting snow. Seen CSX PD, NS PD, INS, DPD, MSP and no one gave me a second glance. They are use to seei...

What would be the most you would pay for a railroad collectable? I've been watching a couple of slides on e-bay, one was a Detroit Terminal caboose ( ended over $200.00) and another the Altoona.PA temp depot ( currently at $99.00 ). Just how much would YOU pay ? Don't be shy, we won't tell your bett...

All I know is that a knuckle is about 70#. Good luck dragging that thing around. Don't injury anything that you my need later!

Was there something wrong with the crane ? It is a self propelled unit. Kinda weird seeing it towed around.

Just a little info on the Vinewood derailment. The engineer on the southbound CN train that was crossing over from the CN to the Conrail put his train in EMERGENCY when he came around the curve at SCOTTEN. It is reported that he wasn't sure what signal was his. If anyone knows this area, it has a lo...

Two things might be able to explain the picture. 1 - It may have been taken on a heavy & cold day. 2 - On occasion the Utica plant was loaned power while their engine was down. When the weather was cold and they had a big train, it takes forever to get the air to come up. Two compressors are better ...

There was along passing track / siding that ran from 18 mile road to about 600' south of M-59. When Conrail started to remove all unused & little used track, the switch was removed and replaced just about 100' south of M-59. The siding between 18 mile road and the 1st crossing south of m-59 has been...
