Is Lakes States maintaining the current signal system on the piece they are leasing? Unless they have received permission from the FRA to remove the signal system, they must maintain it. I'm not aware that they have filed or will file for that permission. LSRC tried shutting off the signals between...

Just an FYI D710/711 is based out of Flint. at least for now

It does appear the tracks are in all the way to the fuel place, but from the Google Maps image it appears that the facility does not have cars that are regularly stored at this location. Do they receive a limited number of cars per year or are they just in and out with what they do receive quickly ...

That area was the old Hocking Valley Docks. Towards the end it was called, and still is, Delta Fuels lead

FRA train

So will this train use CSX's Saginaw Sub to Plymouth then Detroit Sub to Oak Yard? No, Q165/166 will run Buffalo to North Baltimore, then to Chicago and Vise versa. The work they do at North Baltimore will drop off/ pick up cars for/from the Q150/151 to take to oak yard. at least that is what I'm h...

Probably Q511

Q399 through the secondary, Q392 waiting to go up the secondary

D702 has paused in Plymouth. Waiting for it at Middle River. Was passing over Sheldon Rd. at 11:45. Heard something on the scanner about a pilot. UPDATE: 12:25 clearing Middle River. I counted 97 cars. GR crews are not qualified from Plymouth to Flint. Until they get qualified they must call Pilots...

Still open, switching out auto racks over there currently, but the hump will probably never come back, be official once they start tearing the bowl tracks out

Q324 ran that way today

Grain and Coal to Flint will still be the same as it is now, Via Toledo, Manifest will be by GR via the new GR to Flint Local, Unless they come up with a different plan already. PH local will still be the same that I know of, just the routing of the cars to flint will be different. One thing I have ...

Only place that I know of is the platform/shelter house that owned by the museum off of Monroe St., other than that there really not much else accessible that I know of

there was a U540 that ran yesterday from up there

Only coal you will see on the Sag sub is the N660/e660 for St Clair and the stuff going to Essexville

I think your title a little misleading, I think you meant east, not west

It was a T540 that went up

~cutting my really long quoted quote post for brevity~ The Union rep who sent this out to his constituents is none too pleased to see his words posted on foamer boards.
