Re: MDOT, Lake states and other news
The Michigan shore grant flew under the radar, but I think that could breathe life into the line in the future if G&W gets out. Coopersville one surprises me. Shocked they made the right choice to go after government money for IMC, but are they actually going to create jobs? There’s no non-profit mo...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2023
Wonder if they're grabbing 106's EOT (if they have one, I don't even remember who does what anymore). Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit.MuskegonRailfanning wrote: ↑Mon Apr 17, 2023 1:33 pmHow about that, no EOT. Bet you if we had a pair of two they might have had a rear DPU.

Re: Amtrak - Siemens issues - mostly MI videos
The venture cars also have their fair share of issues too, lead in the water, issues with handrails, they're VERY heavy, and, the big one, conductors aren't able to open the doors and spot the cars on the platform. I wouldn't want to spot the train from a venture car when the handrails are known to...

Re: Amtrak vs. Car near Battle Creek. Minor injuries.
and yes, a lot of time is spent waiting for a change of crews....good thing that Amscam shut down the BTL crewbase Since when did they shut it down? Asked an engineer in BC when I was there Saturday. Supposedly it's been a couple years. Also it is just the engineer base not the conductor base. Actu...

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - March 2023
P370 is going on duty, but no guarantee that they will leave Chicago due to the widespread PTC outage currently pinning down Amtrak today. 50/50 shot whether or not we see it tonight.
Not sure if it was specified but G126 is for MQT in Newayyyygo again.

I hired on to the Class 1s and I can tell you, right now, that ground based conductors are an absolutely AWFUL idea. There’s track all over the system tha...
