Vickers Question
Does Norfolk Southern change crews at Vickers. When I watch the vickers Railcam some trains stop at the overpass. Then a vehicle drives up to the locos and stops a few minutes. Then it leaves, and a few minutes later the train leaves

Re: Derailment in Swanton
Pure luck! Last time I was in Detroit my van was stolen right out of a restaurant parking lot at 3:00 in the afternoon. 9/11 operator told me I had to come into the station to make a stolen vehicle report.......then hung up on me!

Re: SRI announces embezzlement by former employee
Lombardo over a 3 year period embezzled over $228,000.00 from the SRI, a non-profit, and has nothing to show for it. I'm guessing she may be a regular at one of the many casinos. That's usually where the money goes. And it can happen anywhere! A couple years ago, around $14,000 went missing from th...

In Florida, the Tri Rail and Brightline trains have bike racks in the vestibules.

Re: SRI announces embezzlement by former employee
Also the potential for violence up to and including death is usually not a factor in embezzlement. That said, I'm always puzzled how these embezzlements go on undetected for years, running up hundreds of thousands of dollars. How do these groups and businesses make payroll and pay vendors, and opera...

I worked at Oak yard for a few years back in the 70s, before bidding in a Mon thru Friday job at Wixom. Oak used to be a busy place.

Re: Delray, Detroit Overnight 7/21-7/22
Last time I was in the D, my van was stolen right out of a restaurant parking lot, at 3pm in the afternoon, on a busy street, at Vernor and Dragoon. Called 911, and the operator said I had to come into the precinct to make a stolen vehicle report, and hung up on me! You are perfectly safe in Detroit...

Re: CN Derailment in Port Huron Tunnel
Something else could have caused this, perhaps poor train make-up regarding placement of empties and loads. Train handling could be a factor. A wheel, axle, or drawbar may have failed and the situation was made worse by the presence of the DPU. Given all of the above possibilities, I think this was...

Re: CN Derailment in Port Huron Tunnel
Why not put the DPUs mid train, uncouple the train and take it across in two pieces and recouple on the other side, and avoid a lot of potential problems. It seems to me to be pennywise and pound foolish, as they used to say, to take those land barges across in one long train, with or without DPUs. ...

Re: CN Derailment in Port Huron Tunnel
So, there is no crew or engineer on the DPUs?They dragged the DPU out at some point Monday afternoon, from what was posted on Facebook.

Re: CN Derailment in Port Huron Tunnel
I'm surprised a DPU would be allowed on any train in there. I'm sure they are rethinking that idea. Land barges could be pulled through in sections and recombined on the other side. Just a thought here. Does anyone know if the DPU was actually in the tunnel when it occurred, or still out on the can...

Gonna be hard working in that confined space.
