Well, I haven't seen any posts on this board about this train so I'd figure that I should. Here is the timetable that Larry posted on michiganrailroads.com lower MI board!
Operation Lifesaver is running their train, Sterling to Monroe and back on Wednesday. Schedule is:
Leave Sterling yard 9:30am
Detroit North yard 10:10am
River Rouge yard 10:40am
Arrive Monroe 11:25am
Depart Monroe 12:35pm
River Rouge 1:15pm
North Yard 2:00pm
Arrive back at Sterling 2:35pm
This should be an interesting train so I definetely am hoping to catch it! GOOD LUCK!!

Just saw an engine and 2 cars go southbound on the Sterling Secondary. Too dark to tell if it was the Operatin Lifesaver train.

No idea of when it will leave the yard. (may have already) I saw the train at Sterling yard today and was told by some peole that it was leaving at an unknown time. It probably is way too late now, but you never know! Man it sure is a nice train! So clean! Good picture from Wyandotte M.D.Bentley!milineamtrak wrote:Any ideas when it will leave Sterling
Who knows when the next time an OL passenger special will come to Sterling. The last time was 2006!
