Endeavour and Keystone merged. No sale.

It may be going to Plascore located on the east side of Zeeland Michigan to pick up an empty or down to Hudsonville Michigan for some reason. Y121-06 westbo...

Correct, there's nothing that says the siding can't still be used for meets. T&E wanted power switches but engineering did not, and engineering won.

HESR 745 outbound from durand at 16:30

Why do they change the symbol from 701 to 745?

Different crew.

Grand Ledge siding is no longer going to be designated as a siding in the timetable, it will just be an "other than main/yard" track, with hand throw switches. Expect either or just one end of the siding to have just an intermediate signal. The thinking behind putting an absolute signal west of town...

Not even a new scenario on CSX. Joy Holdout was an absolute in Michigan City for years.

So, Indiana RR is going to replace the SD90'S. Wonder what they will replace them with?? Any ideas, anyone?? They've already replaced them with former Norfolk Southern SD70Ms. I believe all of the 90s are stored now, pending retirement. http://rrpicturearchives.net/pictures/135777/20230720_001352.j...

Yes. King wants 5 days a week service.

G077-26 spent another night at Webberville, guessing due to safety concerns regarding the weather (but below freezing temps are fine evidently). Nobody had mentioned which way solo unit 81 faces, so presumably it faces westward. If nothing changes, their return to Plymouth will be quite the show. U...

You guys all appear to be talking about different lines. Muskegon to West Olive is Michigan Shore. Ludington, Manistee, Baldwin etc is Marquette Rail. The actual Mid Michigan RR is the line from Alma to Paines. MMRR itself is going to be merged into the Huron & Eastern, per the latest G&W plans. The...
