Yep, I’ve been lurking on this forum for years. I’m a long time South Lyon area resident, and I’ve been a pseudo rail fan since my dad used to take me to Plymouth as child to check out the trains. I decided to sign up to help out the other railfans in the area / on the Plymouth sub with signals etc.

I’ve been spending a lot more time trackside lately with my young son who is a train fanatic. I always appreciate your reports on D706 BL, it gives us time to get down to the tracks!
