Gee, I have not been to Pinckney since I retired 22 years ago, and the tracks had been ripped out and long gone at least 20 years before that.

Sure did.

Anyway reports are they are at Whitmore Lake Rd now.

Two ostn’s today. One for the 89 car unit train from AA and then another doing normal set offs at Osmer and AP.

Pinckney’s nice this time of year. Worth a visit!

Perhaps so but still won't be going there any time soon. Fowlerville is no closer than Pinckney mileage wise but if I did not intentionally stop there on my way back from Iowa last summer to see the new rail plant addition at Ashai-Kasei, I would not have been there in 22 years either.
