Re: Signaled both directions.

Yeah, I noticed this as well. Norfolk Southern began installing the other signal heads in November, and those electronic locks were put in around the same time. Seems like they have taken to upgrading their signal system to keep up with CN's upgrades, which are taking place on the Shoreline sub.

490 entered Flatrock around 12:30-ish. I got it on video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXowXbjbMXY I don't know why they moved the caboose, but there has been crazy MOW work in the area, so maybe it will be used in the work.

Re: CN Signal question

I heard that CN plans to swap its searchlight signals at Coolidge with LED safetrans this year. Going to assume that this applies to the entire Michigan Division.

Re: RTRR AKA McLouth Steel

They may be starting to take some of the bigger pieces of scrap from the buildings in the complex. I've seen multiple tandem dump trucks come out of McLouth, and they are most-likely hauling scrap. Also, a few massive pieces of steel were transported down King Rd. by trucks. The pieces looked to be ...
