original post stated mmrr. not michigan shore.

look at dec 18, 1987

the information in this pdf states mid-michigan bought, not leased, the line from csx

Have always wondered what this facility was/is and its relation to the railroad. https://aadl.org/node/603151 slightly remodeled over the years but sanborn maps pointed in this direction https://aadl.org/aaobserver/18335 this streetview helps a little :D https://maps.app.goo.gl/X4Ak2xSjFRaMtHhD8

note that ireland winters more mild than ours. always get a laugh when people point out how reliable the brightline units are compared to the amtrak midwest units. not much cold and snow in florida. the cold and snow are real problems that vehicle builders don't seem to grasp very well. hello tesla ...

Q-line Detroit had to shut down January, 2019. Batteries couldn't provide propulsion and heat in the record breaking cold. Trying to charge the batteries was also problematic. Good luck Chicago, I'm sure you will need it. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/detroit/2019/01/31/qline-servi...

TY DaveO there's the colorado pacific line aka towner line. there's the colorado pacific rio grande lines, ex-san luis and rio grande. the latter gets that big power. I wasn't happy with my answer :( cxr is the reporting mark for the towner line so that unit should be for the towner line. cxrg is f...

This picture was taken 5 or 6 years ago. In Michigan.

the line to middleton?
so is this a stolen vehicle or taking the shortcut home from the bar?

they're going to move but don't know where. they've had time to formulate plan b and haven't. they're in a less than top dollar location. it's going to be hard find affordable commercial nearby. wish them luck but they put too much time in plan a which was staying put. edit: article in paywalled fre...

doesn't help that it's tucked in back.
in a shopping center that has seen years of stores rotating in and out as peoples' tastes changed.

you present a plan that meets all ordinance requirements and the council denies it, they get sued and will lose.

I'd like to think that I'm a bit older and wiser these days.

nah, you just get older. don't ask how I know.

he didn't want to break the gate.
poor thought process led him to enter activated crossing. no surprise that poor thought process kept him there.
hard to explain that away when it was caught on video.

This is a state owned line. Wonder how many boxes this group checked off on the "inclusivity" scale to get the operating contract?

I think something important to note is that CPKC hasn’t confirmed they want to purchase the Plymouth sub, I do think it is highly plausible but for right now the only reason they are mandating CSX to fix the Plymouth sub is so if they do buy it is in good condition. Sorry if someone already said th...

should we also tell you the truth about santa?
for future reference, such transactions must be filed with the stb, which you can search.
also public companies must disclose material matters in accordance with sec rules.

I gotta ask, I don’t know much about signaling so humor me, why do railroads use multiple signal books/rules on their entire system? because they were different railroads at the time the signals were installed. costs money to change. railroads don't spend money if they don't need to. see the dt&i a...

I forget the name of the town but it’s south of Sebewaing. It’s Unionville!
