The Best Power Set I have ever seen!

Unread post by Ypsi »

early this morning, I was awoken by a train horn that sounded like a conrail. I got to a window to see indeed a conrail but not just any conrail, an opperation lifesaver painted conrail! one on three! then it kept getting better, a NS gp38-2 followed the conrail, then an NS paint opperation life saver, a dash 9, a conrail painted gp38-2, and a high hood unit. This was by far the best power set I have seen on the NS Michigan in a long time.

Also if anyone know where the conrail opperation life saver geep is I would like to know (I know that it derailed this morning, I want to know when it will be on another train out of detroit (or wherever it is) and at what time). Thanks.

By the way... EB to wayne/detroit at or around 2:30 AM... (sorry)

Since it derailed in Battle Creek, I can only assume he saw it eastbound headed back to Detroit.

It would be alot more helpful if you could post this in the "NS updates" section under "train location updates".
