It took me two years, but feel free to take a look and edit/add to my MIGN customer list AARR! It is my new goal to get as much customer info as possible recorded into the Wiki. https://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/ ... y_Overview Nice work NS3322. The list is accurate as far as I can tell. Here ...

Why are you not looking at the Wiki for this? All of your answers are already posted there... The Wiki sucks. It's fine and good they listed every possible train in the system, but would be nice if there was some Michigan Sub-sections in there. Ctrl+F ", MI " 192 results just for Michigan. Imagine ...

I went through my notes (which are not complete) and like Buster pointed out there were mostly small customers of agricultural or building products. It took me two years, but feel free to take a look and edit/add to my MIGN customer list AARR! It is my new goal to get as much customer info as possi...

Stops in Holly, Fenton, and Durand.

ADBF GP9 1751 departed Jackson on 1/3/24. Reportedly this unit was sold to a gravel quarry in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.

Thank you NS3322. You're doing a nice job with the Wiki. I update it too but usually post at the Website Threads before doing so to confirm the information. The Wiki is very good but doesn't go into how many cars each customer ships. That's what I was hoping to learn from Nick. All that info is on ...

Per the Railfan Wiki page, the following are the current active locomotives 329 - Haven't seen reports of it being in use since early December. Is this just hiding, or has it gone down now? Lasr report I saw was Dec 1st, and photograpjic evidence was Nov 20th. Hiding in the Owosso yard on 12/16, bu...

Four customers in Albion, 3/4 are on the west side:
The Andersons Ethanol
Georgia-Pacific
American Colloid
Knauf Insulation (on old LSMS line)

Why would you bother with Albion when you are only going to see two freights (B22 & B33, both running Mon-Fri) and six Amtrak trains?

Anyone know anything about this unit saw it today. It is an FL9, and supposedly headed to the Cincinnati Dinner Train per LocoNotes. Ex-GSLX 2002/CDOT 2002/MNCR 2002/MNCR 5005/CR 5005/PC 5005/NH 2002/NH 2005. Theres so many rumors I have also heard its getting on NS 197 and heading to Lordstown, OH...

Did BWL once use an Alco RS1 at one of these places? Why did they use cabooses, shove moves? LBWL was using an ex-IC caboose as an office at Eckert and they also had an ex-GTW transfer caboose at Erickson that they would haul in the Silver Bells Christmas Parade (minus its trucks). I emailed them a...

Where did you see that 1758/1760 are for sale? I thought that was implied with the Railmover listing... "Blue carded and in service EMD GP-9s with alignment couplers" 1751 is the only unit for sale? Seems to be the only one listed right? I think 1758 is staying with some “modifications” to it. I th...

1751 is the only unit for sale?

I think 1223 is an SW1200. Two stacks. Plus it has EMD switcher 'transfer' trucks that are not originally. I think the truck were from a Canadian locomotive from the markings on it. Nice catch, I did not realize that was entered wrong in RRPicturesArchives for all these years. Per this Flickr photo...

Well, are any of the ADBF GP9s still in service? How many? How many are for sale? :?: Does Jail have a couple GP9 s working too? I suppose they'd keep some on both these lines for MOW track work and back-up power, right? :?: :?: I like the old paint better than the new!!!! :shock: :shock: Current A...

I refreshed the CF&E customer list. I also added a former customers subsection. LSC Communications in Warsaw, IN closed over the summer and it appears OmniSource sold their Bourbon, IN facility to CT Polymers. https://railroadfan.com/wiki/index.php/Chicago,_Fort_Wayne_and_Eastern_Railroad#Chicago.2C...

Here is the sale listing for the ADBF/JAIL GP9s. 1751 can be yours for $98k...

AJD and Hydrolake don't appear to ship by rail much if at all. AARR you need to look at the updated imagery. :D AJD has 4 cars on their spur in August 2023. On the other hand, I am not sure Hydrolake does any rail business. Unless they load cars on AJD's spur? ajd.JPG Here is the "new" track setup ...

So all traffic from West of Jackson is now going to Jackson and then going on B25 to Wayne now? Nothing goes to K'zoo for Grand Elk to take to Elkhart correct?

Yes, has been that way since early 2020.
