Broke in the shop. Hope it comes out this week.
OK, this engine will decide my trip to Grand Rapids!!!! My goal of the trip is to "Finally" capture C&IM SD20 #81!!!! Now, what is "Broke" on it? Is it an "Easy Fix" or not? It must be at the shop in Manistee! i995impalass, could you please let me know as soon as it is back on the road and where it is working? I will pay the gas to "Railfan Gary" to drive to wherever this unit may be!!!! It is the "Last" C&IM SD20 locomotive like this left operating (there are 4 from Port Inland RR® now at LTEX...but those are 'Patched')!
Out on the road last night. Daylight to CSX today.

It was one of five locos on Z151 in to Grand Rapids around 9:30 this morning. And back north at 6 mile road just after noon.
Well, the "Status" of this old C&IM SD20 engine these last four days seem promising!!!! Steamlogger, do you know if they will keep "Daylight" Z151 to Grand Rapids for a while? I sure hope to catch this loco in the daylight Sunday or Monday! Now, should I just check the line while I am out here both days? Am I correct this unit will be working somewhere in Daylight between Baldwin/Grand Rapids? Does anyone know where they will park this Sunday night? I hope to get "Night Shots" of it! I want my trip to be worth it! Well, I am guessing it will be in the middle of "Orange" locos!!!! I will have my scanner─and can look at this thread while we are "Seeking" (but won't be able to post)! Please help!!!!
