Re: New Ties along the Lake State Railroad in Holly
From what I have seen from Lake State, they are about as first class as you can get in railroading. I had my doubts when they first began, but really have proved to be a winner. New track, new customers, good service, a great paint scheme, cannot ask for much more. The only sad issue was the end of...

Re: CSX head on collision in Folkston, Georgia
From what I'm reading and hearing from the scanner archive posted by the Folkston Train Watching group, the MOW guys reported the switches were lined and locked for both trains to proceed on opposite mains, when in reality they were not. Since the signal system was either suspended or taken out of s...

Re: The return of gypsum near Alabaster for Lake State.
Yes. When Cap Pinkerton Jr took over in the 70s, reinvestment into the physical plant stopped. By the late 80s, a decade of virtually no maintenance had taken its toll.

Re: The return of gypsum near Alabaster for Lake State.
Wonder what the speed was on the old D&M?? ALSO-- what happens to the Alpena yard job, and/ or the old roundhouse in Alpena?? Alpena yard job isn't going anywhere. They will still keep a Geep up there to service the local industries, even after they implement a Bay City-Alpena turn. Track speed on ...

Y121 and L301 met in Grandville at 10:25. Y121 brought the caboose with them so they can run track speed back to Holland (no cars for them in GR).

The goal is to get the speed high enough on the Huron Sub for LSRC to be able to run a turn job from Bay City to Alpena and back with one crew.

Re: Future Cement Business Livingston
Heard that the old sand plant was being reactivated, that's good to hear its actually moving forward. D700 used to be a 3 man job because of all of the switching they would do at Livingston sand!

They just got the GEXR SD40-2 within the last couple of months, as well as returned the 3414 to service after being OOS for well over a year. So now they have 4 SD40-2s: 3390, 3393, 3414, and 3484.
