What will they think of all of the racks being stored at Ensel...?

Just be careful, that is a rough part of town once the sun starts to go down or when alone. I know I have guys come out of nowhere on me before. If any one wants to go down there but wants some one to tag along let me know. Remember strength in numbers.

Thats the old Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, or whats left of it. Now it goes to QD and they get covered hoppers of plastic pellets about every six weeks if I remember correctly.

So flipping through the 1984 Chessie System Timetable they don't list Lake Odessa as a Train Order Station but there was one at Plaster Creek and Fulller so would they get their orders there and then proceed onto the Plymouth sub and off of the Grand Rapids Terminal Sub?

Some of the C&O and GTW poles come down to about 10 in spots. They only go up to cross roads and tracks.

So with that Diagram are the even numbers east or west bound or does one ignore that and just use the location symbols like GR or FL?

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

So standard CTC.

So what governed Ensel to Plymouth? A similar system?

OK so I have this question now, were they using train orders with DTC or where they using Track Warrants?


Oh and this is fascinating by the way.

Well I don't want to sound like a broken record but how did that work? I though they had gone to DTC with signals by then.

The Clinch Vally...I have operated on your layout...I think it was one of the Detroit Op Sig get togethers. Great layout!

Well you worked there...Ensel yard at Logan street, summer of 1987. It's one of Ian's photos.

Yeah train order boards are easy, also is this a train order board?

I am assuming it is because it says TO but you know what happens when you assume...

Well the thing is that I don't know if the track diagram just uses that semaphore symbol for all the signals. Thats why I am trying to figure this out.

I was looking through the C&O track charts for C&O's Plymouth Sub and they showed semaphores on the route but the notes run from the late 30's to the late 70's so my question to those of you who were there, when were the semaphores removed?

Awesome thanks.

Well I use code 55 in N scale and the only problem that I have is with the high profile wheels and either swap with the micro-trains low profiles or Fox Valley metal wheels.

I model the Plymouth Sub in N-scale with some friends.

Can anyone tell me what RailPac is?
