Fuller Jct Timetable/Old Photos(?)

Re: Amtrak ITCS P42's

I believe they are as a pair of BWH's ran a rail train up here a few months ago. I have photographic evidence: (This was taken in Battle Creek back in November 2018). http://s3.amazonaws.com/rrpa_photos/129080/IMG_0269.JPG I'm guessing that was the CWR train with the boxcar? The CWR train was parke...

Southern RR low nose motive power

Obviously other than the F and E units, Did the Southern Railway have any low nose locomotives? I just found out today that they had high-hood Dash-7s which I thought was pretty neat.

Re: Woodbury PM Searchlights

I live near woodbury and understand them quite well. First, the signals at Woodbury are continuously lit. They are not approach lit. So they are always on. I have never seen them dark. Second, They are block signals. So they don't give authority. They just respond to the conditions or occupancy of ...

Woodbury PM Searchlights

Are the searchlights in Woodbury, MI always green or something? Every time I drive past them they always have a clear indication. One time I waited for something to come but nothing ever came. Are they always green or am I just really lucky?

Does anyone know where the KRR #3805 went after delivery on the GRE? I couldn't seem to find any videos of it in revenue service and I'm assuming it just got picked back up again by Y297

Tracks/Spur on Eastern Grand River bank?

While walking in Riverside Park on the Northeast side of Grand Rapids, I couldn't help but notice what looked like a railroad truss bridge going over a small stream that emptied into the Grand River a few hundred feet to the west. It's obviously a bike trail now but I was wondering, was there ever a...

CM Monroe St. GR Press Spur

Does anyone know when the connection/wye was torn up near Monroe Street where the GR Press spur went south? Some of the old ROW is still in place in between a few old buildings in there. Also, were there any other customers being served on that spur or was it just the GR Press?

Does anyone know where any old signal/Control Point locations GTW had on the Grand Rapids Sub? The only signals that are left (I believe) are at Fuller Jct on the GRE.
