What is fascinating is the fact, that other than Typhoon and SD80mac, none of you really have a clue as to what you are even talking about. You are all guessing and uneducated guessing at best.

From what I was told by a knowledgeable employee, a signal gang and new signals are being assembled and the work will begin fairly soon. Also was told that the COO or CEO...the new guy from Ford, was in GRP yesterday and wants to send more traffic this way. We shall see. CP-KCS and CSX agreements do...

Does anyone know when/if Dependable LP Gas in Lowell ever received shipments by rail? I can see that they had a little spur just East of Grand River Dr, and I've been curious about it. If you are talking about the one on the exGTW, they USED to do a lot of business with the railroad....easily as mu...

Looks like Fort Wayne to me.....or Lima Ohio. (on someones model railroad....)

The Michigan Natural Storage/tracks back to the city market and Columbian Storage and Transfer were sold/transferred to CSX back in about 2000ish. The bridge just east of MNS was in need of repairs, NS didn't want to do it due to the fact they have no customers to service back there anymore, CSX do...

Two words come to mind...PROPERTY TAXES. Every line not owned by the government or a bankrupt company paid property taxes to every township, city and county along the way. THAT ALONE helped doom everything. A few lumber cars a month ain't gonna cover any of that, or a covered hopper of fertilizer or...

L302-27 by Howell at 17:20. 844 +3169 on the head end. Counted 87 cars but may have mesed up looking at the unusual lettered gondola car I had never seen before, prior to the 50th car. Clear CH84.43 East Lansing at 18:12. 88 cars https://www.infinitytransport.com/ Infinity Transportation Rail IFTX

Not until New Years at the end of THIS YEAR. Notice the pier that the two sections of collapsed bridge were resting upon is GONE? Scoured by high water caused erosion under the piers...just my opinion...and later confirmed by engineering. "Scotty, tell me why the piers were scoured?"..."Captain, it ...

Capacity problems at Wyoming Yard? WHAT capacity problems at Wyoming yard?

What in heavens name was 301 setting off in Waverly? An empty coal train? Heck, that many cars won't even fit in Waverly

https://www.rrb.gov/Newsroom/NewsReleases/RailroadRetirementAgeReductions Heck, maybe everyone from class ones on down can retire at 60 with 30 years....I give up on that one. But there you have the ages etc etc. You pay something like 17% more into RRRetirement vs SS but RRT is way better and your ...

Unionized and non union short lines do not ha=ve 60/30. It would be just like SS. Born around 53 the age is 66 and full retirement age goes up as the years go by. Class ones have a 60/30 agreement.

The union contract for class one railroad retirement is at 60/30. Retire at 60 when you have 30 years in or 360 weeks. Shortlines that is not the case. If you REALLY REALLY wanna work for the 'railroad' DO IT. I started in 1977 with Chessie, quit cause these people are NUTS and went back in 78. Then...

Come to think of it...I do remember more than a few covered chipboard loads for various customers. You can smell that Lincoln Log smell farther away! They are problematic to unload UNLESS you have an outdoor open track on both sides of the rail. Then again the way they load boxcars and the UNLOAD OT...
