Lagonda Junction near Springfield Ohio

I'd like to catch a train going by the old tilt signal here sometime in the near future. My understanding is that the Indiana and Ohio owns both lines through here and was seeing if anyone knows the best time to catch a train here. Thanks for any info!!

Active code line

I know the CSX Indiana Sub has active code line poles and it looks like Winchester Indiana has another small stretch of active code line poles through town along CSX still. Just wandering if there's any other stretches of railroad in Indiana with active code line poles.

Schoolcraft Michigan trains.

I'm going to railfan this area in a week and was wondering if either line here is very busy. I'd imagine the Grand Elk isn't but I would hope CN is. Thanks for any info.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread

Track is still in rough shape but certain sections have been leveled and ballast has been dumped in areas. A lot of crossing protection has been replaced also.
