Well, marijuana is legal now in MI.............

The property and building was owned by DeBruyn Produce in 1969 when 100th St was rebuilt all-weather from the tracks to US 131. That tells me DeBruyn was trucking out a lot of produce. I vaguely remember either the installation of the siding or a rehab of the siding when DeBruyn owned it. This was a...

A number of years ago I was the conductor a few of the runs.

There's one big difference, the Winter Park Express goes directly from Denver to the ski resort eliminating driving in the mountains. The TC Flyer will go from AA? to downtown TC. Who's operating the bus service to the ski hills? I just don't see a demand for the service. If you can afford a weekend...

Sorry to hear this news Don. You have my condolences.

I scrolled the wiki and it looks like B and Q trains work the yards, no locals

All the info can be found in the wiki up top. I've used it to identify a train that has my customers lumber car thus the routing it has

Are these people on and off at Bangor commuters to Chicago? Yes they are, Amtrak P371 originates in Grand Rapids & ends in Chicago.

My Paper Railroad, Grand Rapids Southeastern (GRSE), is more interesting.

If your wife owns 51% of your RR, it can be a disadvantaged business enterprise

The KB&E checked the minority owned company box.

I'm sure you are right Tom. Breton appears blocked still per Google maps, and Shaffer is the next crossing east. D705 makes sense. Should have stopped short of East Paris - wouldn't be blocking anything. But again this is a RR that has lost a car in Wyoming yard 10 days and counting. Doktor No wher...

Precision Poly still uses rail.

When I retire, I will try to do a better job reporting on the GRE. When I retire I will do a poorer job reporting on the GRE. I currently check them 2 times a day M-F to and from work. Pretty routine, CSX delivers cuts of Kings, GRE takes them east when they can get a crew from either Muskegon or A...
