I think it is either going to the LP plant (unlikely), or it is going to be used to haul parts out of the shops in Alpena and down to Saginaw.

After watching Michigan narrowly loose to Ohio State last night, I decided to take the long way back, down Long Lake Ave. and past the LSRC yard, hoping that some power would be out. Nope. Oh well. Well this morning, I drove by there again and much to my surprise, a train was parked on the main. Wow...

Since I haven't seen this anywhere else on the internet, I am going to guess that this is a photoshop. If it is, it is an excellent photoshop.

Am I right?

Patrick, is that the place right next to the CSX yard that uses the ex Conrail SW1001(?) that can be seen from 475?

Aparently, someone was shot and killed for refusing to give up his PS3 money in front of a Wal-Mart. What kind of world is this?

I hope that they don't repaint it. I don't think that the red looks real good on the black. Oh well, seeing a loco with a bad paint job is better than not seeing a loco period.

Thats just sad. I hope this isn't the break Ohio State needs.

Go Blue!

Wow. Derailed on a new switch. Do you know what went wrong?

Wow! Lots of great consists there. Brings back lots of memories.

Great Pictures! Does anybody have a current roster?

Eeeew Dave! Not the Vomit Bonnets!

I voted for classic Santa Fe Red and Silver. The best paint on the BNSF roster! I caught this in Chicago earlier this year from the freeway.

Since he is the main hogger for Lake State train 326, and since train 326 it the train that I see most often...

I KNOW that I have seen much stranger consists on class ones a while back, but for the Lake State, RS3mk 974, RS2U 469. Just like it was years ago.

According to a family member, a single unit left Alpena Thursday night at around 10:20 p.m. The family member said the unit looked Greenish brown from two blocks away. I am thinking a Century, but, green, maybe the 2003?

Taken off of the LSRC website: Motive Power In a continuing project to upgrade our locomotive fleet, LSRC 2003 is en route to Washington State to be de-turboed and to be painted with LSRC colors and new logo. Removing the turbo will improve both fuel economy and horsepower. Horsepower will increase ...

What is happening to the Lake State!?!?! They are fine for YEARS, until these past two months! When will it end!?!?!

Well, its official, that RUINS the rest of my day.

I need some help! I am unable to go see train 326 depart Alpena right now (7:15 pm), but I think that it is the 469 leading. If it is, it might be switched out in Tawas, but I am not sure. If someone is able to catch the train, could you please notify me on the power.

Thanks,

I was driving somewhere along US131 South of Mt. Pleasent and around 32 miles north of Lansing, and was paralleling the TSBY. It was raining out, and I knew that it was a Saturday, and that the TSBY probably didn't run so I had my camera in the back. Sure enough, here comes TSBY 392 in the opposite ...

I caught train 326 leaving tonight in between 7:00 and 7:20 pm. I caught it at Franklin and Werth Roads with the following consist: M420W 3571 M420W 798 58 cars including 28 flyash, 28 "regular" stone cars, and two old cars with Journal Bearings (the C&O one included).
