My question is how in the world will 1225 be getting to the Port of Monroe? It will obviously be towed, but what way wi...

Some of the Conrail old-heads running Amtrak trains would crack the whip west of Kalamazoo. That is until they caught Bernie Potts go through Lawton at 100+MPH. The Decatur Police Department called BO threatening to start writing tickets if trains didn't slow down. Bill Pontius replied "Well if you...

The Safety First sign next to a pile of wrecked rail cars is priceless. And can tell you that this can be a dangerous hobby.

Yes, someone put a train, not a car into the Chrysler engine plant. The train was an empty steel train (about 60 cars long) for Great Lakes Steel that couldn't go north because there was NO room at Conrail's River Rouge yard. The decision was made to shove off the train on the northbound siding (no ...

Did 8 years in the navy , tried my hand at IT work, hated it , and now am a Conductor/engineer for a regional railroad. Some of you have photographed me on the job but I still wish to remain anonymous

Don't be ashamed, you're among friends here.

The Conrail bridge in Detroit lost their split rail derails after they reconfigured the interlocking and replaced mainline rail. Years ago. Bridge operator was in control of both. But now all are gone. Derails, bridge operator and the tower.

The derails are a "SAFETY" device, per the CSX rules. So it looks like the CSX gave up on safety then . Which is cheaper 1) maintaining the derails or 2) fishing equipment ( & maybe an employee or 2 ) out of the river and dealing with the environmental issues & fines ? Asking for a freind.

Under Miscellaneous today on Facebook. 1 each yellow and blue $400 eh of $700 for both. You have to move. Not heavy just long. Would make a good shed. The wife will never know

Cars spotted on track next to building, unloaded by crane, moved by BIG hi-low, cars moved by track mobile. 10 years sound about right. They were hoping to save money by using rail. Turned out to be to slow for their needs.

Coil steel to Thyssenkrupp.

Maybe, if they put the wye at Fullerton back in, Conrail could handle the rest of the traffic.

Is that stub track a new shortline, or sumthin ?

Forget all that stuff ! GOING back into to SUPER HYPER LOCKDOWN. Have a great day ! Until they put a mask on that too.

Waaaaaaaaaaay tooooooooo long ! and a dad joke ! Bravo .
