Re: CN Flat Rock sub in Carleton MI
The CN Train is now CN L585 both ways, and almost always has NS power on it. The SB runs in the early morning (unless there are delays) and the NB runs up in the late morning to mid-day timeframe.

Re: Bad Blood in mid 8O's between TSB and AA?
Secondly in a past post about Ithaca's planned ethanol plant I believe, mention was made about a run through grain train for GLC over Watco/AA rails to Toledo. Why would GLC do such a thing? So AA could free up power to use elsewhere? And if so, would it be AA crews on their territory or an extra G...

Re: Ann Arbor Heritage Unit
The info I have is more along the lines of it being old and beat up, as it gets abused a lot in operation. (and it could start brush fires along the right of way, too)

Re: TSBY Railroad
A GP35 being repainted in to the orange AA scheme won't happen unless they work out something with Watco, who owns the rights.

Re: NS West Virginia Secondary-Columbus Oh to Alloy WV
Reports on another site had a coal train with NS power, I'm guessing a 698, loaded at Burr Oak Mine last weekend, then ran up to Columbus. On Saturday 8/13, a local ran out to Thurston from Columbus to switch cars, the power was a single NS GP38 leased to Watco. It's said the power will be kept at ...

Re: Diann Junction
CN/NS designation is L585, not 385. Based on what I see online, 384-385 were Sarnia to Toledo (NS Trains). These trains are now only running Sarnia to Flat Rock and the run from Flat Rock to Toledo (via the AA) is now handled by a local, L385. At Alexis northward it's CN L585, south of there to Bel...

Re: Good railfaning spots for SE Mich.
AA has a 10 am northbound road train. And Sometimes I can sometimes hear a 7 pm Southbound Train or a green light for the SB. CN 384 and 385 run on that line but I am not sure on the times. I already answered about the info related to the AA, and trains that run on it here with the latest info: htt...

Re: Diann Junction
The AA Road Train runs runs Monday-Friday, usually NB over night and back SB the next morning. They can run extras on the weekends for both autoracks and grain. The CN Train that runs the line is now symboled L585 in both directions, as of last year, as a result of the switch to using NS power. The ...
