It took some digging but I found his infamous video! He changed the name to "The Midhartland By Rail." He ordered his videos in a very "unique" way that is very hard to follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAqGjJKBnJI&t *It will not let me embed the video Perhaps the board does not want him back?

How do you all feel about this? Why are Battle Creek and Detroit retaining agents? LANSING, Mich. — East Lansing, Michigan’s fourth-busiest Amtrak station, will soon join the list of Amtrak ticket offices in the state to close.

Did it look like the car in this video?


Video by A. Train.

Does anyone know which train it will go back on?

What train will it come back on?

I am confused. What is the engine's future purpose? Tourist service? CHISAGO CITY, Minn. — Minnesota’s Ironhorse Railroad Park has sold former Soo Line 2-8-0 No. 2425 to Mineral Range Inc., operator of the Mineral Range Railroad in Ishpeming, Mich.

Will the old Ann Arbor boxcars and one old DTSL boxcar in Cadillac suffer the same fate as TSBY #1994?

Wow, I didn't know that unit was still operable.

Does anyone know what happened to this car that was in Frankfort?
Was it trucked somewhere?

Does anything run to TC on Saturday?
And is all the old equipment still in Cadillac Yard, or has it been sent to Beacon?

FYI, If you want to purchase American-Made Cereal, buy the store brands. That IS still made in Battle Creek MI, but manufactured by Ralston, Right across the street from the Battle Creek Amtrak depot. You buy Kelloggs, Chances are it is from Mexico Yeah.. Sad right? When I was a kid, Kelloggs emplo...

Here's a clip from a DVD by TM Books and Video that has some shots of the interior of the bridge shack. It appears to have been shot in the 1990's.

I did not realize the depot in Hart was moved to the town's historic village. I thought it was demolished! When did this happen? They also have the caboose that used to sit off of Oceana Drive just north of Hart. The depot and caboose are in rather rough shape, but it appears restoration work is bei...

Has Mississippian #76 left for Maryland? I know the tender has been delivered.

Thanks for that fact! Very misleading information.

Around 2007/2008 Mapquest (who uses that anymore? lol) listed almost all the industrial trackage in Ludington as
being operated by the Platte Valley Trolley. That is a tourist trolley in Denver by the way .

Why aren't there two round trips of the PM? Not enough in the budget? Or is it CSX or NS?

Wouldn’t be shorter unless they made the GDLK a 110-mph speedway - and that’d require a heck of a lot of route realignments - like Harriman scale. Dumb idea. An idea that needs to die. I wouldn't call it dumb, maybe unrealistic or a pipe dream. But the way GR is growing (and somewhat Kalamazoo/Port...

Haven't heard much on the Michigan Shore in a while.
Do they still use the GTW shops on Henry Street? Or are operations now centralized at the old C&O yard on Western Ave.?
Are locomotives #2019 and #2057 still stationed in Muskegon?

Agreed, Nathan. The PM leaves just too ungodly early for a city the size of GR. If it was some po-dunk town in the middle of no where, and was an intermittent stop, I could maybe see it. But not being a large originating city. I agree 100% with your thoughts. In a perfect world, we would have a tra...
