I think it more likely it will have a couple of P42s along for the ride.

CSX Media Relations tells FOX 31 that just before 1 p.m., a CSX train struck an unoccupied semi-truck on the S. McDonald Avenue crossing, in Coffee County, derailing several intermodal cars and one locomotive.

Considering where the power is based, 313 it is. Was a busy double track there, back in the day.

Back a long time ago I went with the neighbor to help them load used railroad ties at the yard just to the west.

The "really cold" helped. Figured it was a border crossing in detroit, but it's Point W Dr in Sault Ste Marie. Yes indeed. At first glance one might think it a defect detector. But it's used to inspect the inside of the cars for things that don't belong in the cars. I was surprised to find there is...

Is that near Flat Rock?

Apropos for today, you're really cold

Dave's firehouse hint made it easy https://goo.gl/maps/batMAUgdmEbgcP1A6 CSX off Grand River/Manor
Indeed, Old CSX Oak Yard lead cross Manor just south of Grand River Ave aka old US-16 in Detroit, Wayne County.

This one should be easy

Dave's firehouse hint made it easy https://goo.gl/maps/batMAUgdmEbgcP1A6 CSX off Grand River/Manor Almost all DFD firehouses have a similar roof structure and have hose drying towers. I don't think any are open that have/had a fire lookout/hose drying tower. Engine 49 established 1924 and disbanded...

That building housed a former Detroit Fire Department Engine Company.
I bet that won't help much

It is also one of the newer fire stations built in Detroit.
That isn't saying much

There's only one person you need to please when it comes to things like this...
the person you see when you look into a mirror.

I see that I still have my Microsoft Train SImulator. Wonder how long that has been sitting on the shelf?

The exempt sign applies to any commercial vehicle, not just school buses, required to stop at railroad crossings.

I'm in Michael's boat and can't find this same spot via either Google maps street view or see this small bit of trackage on a Google aerial photo either. Can someone share a screenshot of this piece of track that's visible on either of those sources? https://goo.gl/maps/gxvsVkvfiegj28K49 You want t...

Despite all Dave's pain he still found it! I'm gonna make sure there is a little something extra in your paycheck this week.

The Mom's Spaghetti reference was no help. I was trying to tie it to the restaurant at the Little Caesars HQ.

Parts Galore? Isn't that the villain in one of the James Bond movies? I tried to find the exact spot but I could not find the house in the background. I get 8 Mile and The Mt Clemens Sub and Mom's Spaghetti was probably a reference to nearby Eminem childhood home at 19946 Dresden Street but based o...

Parts Galore.
Hard to concentrate right now.

I smashed my little toe into a chair. It bruised the whole toe.

They're not going to use any of those tracks because they're not suitable for passenger service. You might want to familiarize yourself with the official MDOT railroad map. https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdot/Michigan_Rail_430289_7.pdf Remember WATCO takes over some of those UP lines.

I can't belive MDOT has not updated that map in 9 years. I know that not a whole lot has changed but it still seems like quite a while.

I guess if I was Lake State Railway I would ask MDOT about that.
