I googled Tawas News, and looked at all of the online newspapers that I could find, but I didn't see anything on the derailment. I'll keep checking the Alpena News. So Patrick, this happened to train 327 Saturday (EARLY) Morning?

Spoke too soon. 1195 is now in the shops.

Thanks Charles.

Yes, they are taken in Alpena.

As for the 1195, it is still sitting out in the yard coupled to the 646. No work on it whatsoever.

Here is my railfanning over the past few days, plus a few old pictures: 9/14/06: I caught train 326 at Johnson Street with the following consist: C425Mac 1280 C425M 381 RS2U 469 59 cars The only picture that turned out pretty good was this picture of the 1280 rousing the Canada Geese: http://www.rai...

Here are a few updates: 9/1/06: I stopped by the yard, to try and catch the 469 at work. I'll let the pictures speak for the answer. http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10204/normal_IMG_1805.JPG http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10204/normal_IMG_1804.JPG http://www.ra...

The only thing that I ask is that, if you could, please take LOTS of pictures and please post them. Other than that, follow the #1 rule:

HAVE FUN!

I went to the yard this morning (just got back) and, as usual, the 469 hid on me. :cry: But then again, the 2052, an engine that I haven't seen in a very long time, was working the yard. I did feel that my pictures looked a little rushed, but most of them turned out ok. The ol' GP38M sounded great. ...

I have done quite a bit of Railfanning since Saturday, so here is a day to day rundown of my adventures. Oh yes, and before I forget, Patrick, the 1195 is either in the shops, or down south! :D Saturday: I had a commitment in the TC area, but no railfanning (or trains for that matter). Here are my n...

Have fun, and Happy 27th Birthday!

Woa Patrick! Nice drawing, and nice scheme you made up. Any SD90 should be proud to wear this paint scheme. Now, I hear that there are some "old" UP SD90s for sale (hint, hint, Marquette!). Great idea though.

Hey, I saw the 5320 in July!

Actually, I think that the cropping on picture 2 is nice, seeing as it shows the train, plus the direction that the track goes. I'd say to put this one in the first batch.

The end of the summer is here, whether your excited or depressed (most likely depressed). So what was the key railroading highlights of your summer? Mine are: Well in Mid-July, I took a trip down to BC and Saginaw. I only saw one train, but it was still fun: http://www.railroadfan.com/gallery/albums...

Congrats Scott, you got him!!

"Holy Sheet". Looks like Patrick doesn't get to see that many engines often!

Ummm, not horrid, but definately not great.

I just open a Daily Motion account, so here are a few Alco videos!

Look for LAKESTATE92.

I will be uploading more videos in the next few days, so keep looking.

Amazing pictures (As always). But how did you get ISO 456 on Q161? I thought that the S2IS's highest ISO setting was 400.

Wow! Consider yourself lucky that you got such a rare picture!

UP "We can'T handle it!"

Hmmmm. Now what is that phrase that UP has, Building America? How the heck are they building America with a photo ban.

Gregg, I am going to join you in saying UP SUCKS! I'm glad that they are the WORST Class 1, $ wise.

This week was NOT a good week for the Lake State crew of train 326, the southbound train to Bay City. First, Monday, the 798 breaks down at Werth Road (I saw it). Before that, the 798 almost ran over a 9 year old 2 mile before it broke down. Then today, I caught the 326 at the Soccer fields. I stood...
