Re: PM Port Austin/Grindstone question

IIRC, the customer in Grindstone City was the Company that mined the "Grindstone". I know the PM/CO went to Port Austin until the Mid '70's. The segment from Port Austin to Grindstone was abandoned in 1932. Don't when the rails were actually pulled.

Re: Huron and Eastern Customer List

Presently, that section of track is being used to store a couple hundred un-used rail cars.
The cars are still in storage. But I will go and look again and snap a picture if there is a restraint system there.

Re: Huron and Eastern Customer List

does anyone know if the elevator in Akron has a locomotive switcher or is it just a farm tractor with hi-rails?
No Locomotive. A Farm Tractor.

Re: Huron and Eastern Customer List

The Elevator north of Caro (Vita Plus in Colling) no longer ships by rail, due to OSHA restrictions. They do NOT have the Fall Restraint System needed to protect workers on top of covered hoppers. Presently, that section of track is being used to store a couple hundred un-used rail cars.

Re: Amtrak's Goals

So I gather you're ok with also cutting subsidies to roads, buses, airports, seaports and canal locks? Fuel taxes alone don't begin to cover the full cost of maintaining highways.
Ah, a happy taxpayer.

LSRC Switcher

I just found out that the LSRC has acquired another MP15. It is numbered "1503". When did LSRC acquire this unit? Does anyone have any pictures of it that they could post? Does this locomotive have a location assignment?
