Re: Shunt enhancement - success?
Boy, they just will NOT let go of that idiotic connection between the CSX and the MI Line. How much time would that really save, 3 minutes? The question may be who is pushing for that connection. Is it Amtrak, MDOT, or the local community. The only advantages I could see with the connection to the ...

Re: MMRR industries/HESR new connection in Alma
How much traffic was generated by the refinery? Also, when did the refinery close down. I remember swimming meets at Alma High School at least once if not twice in the early 1990's and driving by the refinery.

Re: Great Lakes and Ohio River Railroad
Interesting reading Some of this is rooted in fact. I don't know about now, but Michigan Sugar used to give away compost material from their plants because they couldn't actually sell it due to laws on what qualified as compost. Per my source, who worked for Michigan Sugar, the stuff would do wonde...

Re: Imlay City Northern (ICN)

This was added to accomidate increased space requirements and act...
