I drove out there today and took a few pictures from my moving car. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1j5HU8stJwtoZCvK5IWpiGD_DxZ1i_oMo?usp=sharing Engines involved were SD40-2 382 (recently moved up here) and GP38-2 396. Neither engine was damaged. They are sitting a little bit aways from the ...

Here is my video from the October 11 2019 move. Going through Kingsley (Kingsley Road). Yes, you can hear me excessively freaking out. I'm dumb lol

I keep meaning to ask, exactly where is this bridge? I seem to have the worst luck finding the dang thing in my car.

The BATA Bus Dispatch Center in Traverse City here keeps mention something about the 'South Airport Road Railroad Crossing'... One of them in a video from a few years back was really sketchy and re-activated itself after the train went thru... maybe it's malfunctioning again? Can anyone from TC veri...

They were working on removing old ties about 2.5 weeks ago on the river road passage.

I'm confused as blazes here... I live about 3 miles from the Walton Road Crossing of the Traverse City Sub, owned by Great Lakes Central. Usually they use the sub to travel to the Traverse City area (and possibly beyond, i haven't chased past TC yet) once a week. A train goes through the Walton Road...

I caught 395 hauling some Steam Railroading Institute and MARC coaches, and 2 Ann Arbor RR Cabooses on 7/5/19 through Manton on Cam, but I have yet to post it. They were the coaches from the Steam Train stuff out of Fife Lake over the 4th , i'd caught the same coaches headed to FL earlier in the wee...

Dr. James Jude, one of the experts credited with pioneering life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation, has died. He was 87.

Haven't seen those in a while. Good to see it again.

I was too busy watching Ashland, so I didn't see it. Darn it!

Saw it mentioned earlier and haven't been able to find it, where is the Manistee River Bridge, and how easy is it to access? I may go out there to film later this summer

The video I saw was of GLC 329. I'm looking at a facebook video I was sent and the 2 looked like a 9, guess it was 329. First time in a while a train's gotten stuck on the TC line, usually the major stuff happens on the Kalkaska sub. Edit: Video of the worst accident in this area in a while, other ...

Last night GLC 398 was going towards Cadillac yard and it became stuck at a crossing blocking the road for approximately 6 hours. It eventually was freed and continued on its route at approximatly 11:11 PM, 6 hours later than usual

I live in Kingsley, 2 miles from the nearest crossing, which is a basic one on a dirt road. However, most of our crossings in the Traverse City-Cadillac area are older ones with old signals and bells, and I think that if they did run that idea, they'd have to upgrade all the crossings except for one...

Did someone mention the Thompsonville caboose?

(photo from 3/26/15)

Yes!
Is there a rail line through Thompsonville anymore, or is it a Rail-Trail now?

Has anyone mentioned the one permanently parked in Thompsonville, Michigan? It's been there since I can remember, under the Water Tower. You can't see it in Sattelite but it's there and I hope to snag photos next time i'm over there. Here's the maps link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Thompsonv...
