hey Mr. Tops, nice avatar pic you got. I take it you play MSTS or did you just pick that one for the heck of it.

yea if i remember your name was David Cenci if i'm correct, i was the one that sent you the group pic of the gathering in Durand. By the way nice video plus the Metallica that you included into it. Seeing that video reminds me of every weeknite that i go out to catch the TSBY. Plus i did notice what...

yes 5th street is old 10 plus M-115 if i'm correct. Plus i've gotten to tour the depot when i went to the Michigan Northern H.S. get-together. But since i live in Clare i know my way around but thanks for the offer. Its just that i'm concerned for the safety of the guys running the trains thru Clare...

I've happen to see that too when I use to go to Bay City to visit with friends. People these days that attempt the "daredevil" trick by crossing in front of a train may just end up in the hospital or in their own coffin.

Last nite the TSBY stopped in Clare to pick up a lumber car they had left at the truss company the nite before. Before they switched to get onto the secondary siding to go on the interchange to head up there, one car darted right out in front of #392 and #2681 as they headed onto the track. The seco...

Hey Eric if we do meet up in Clare sometime I could share some stories of the time i was in Manistee at the yard.

They did leave a set of cars they pulled out of Poly Pavillion but they left them on the second siding for one of the trains to pick up. I'll keep an eye out this coming week if more happens.

Well it turned out that the day crew actually did the switch work in Clare so the nite crew didn't have to do it. They ran south that nite.

Hey Don, they came from Cadillac and headed back to Cadillac afterwards but they left a few cars on the second siding for the nite crew to pick up on their way south tonite.

Got to see the TSBY(now GLC) in Clare today with 385 and 393 for power. They showed up at about 10:30 this morning which is a rare occasion as the TSBY usually comes thru Clare at nite. I'll post more sightings of the TSBY in Clare later.
