JAIL track work/CYDI derailment
I would have posted this quicker but work has been very busy this week. I see this week JAIL has been doing track work between Mason and Holt. Yesterday it was just south of the College Rd. crossing. The two days before that it was just south of US127. I saw them in the afternoon today between Turne...

Re: JAIL
JAIL headed south across College road with one LTEX engine and about 22 coil cars 1825 6/24/11 If those are for the Dist Ctr in Holt that is a nice block they are handling They were cars out of storage I do believe with LRS reporting marks. There are a bunch like that north of Cavenaugh I think. Or...

Re: JAIL
Looks like JAIL is getting ready to head south from RSDC. Two LTEX engines in the lead and a long string of coil cars in tow. In fact I hear them whistling for College Rd now. 1900 4/27

Re: CSX stalling on "hills"
Its still the same issues for CN on the Holly trying to head up Birmingham Hill. I hear 391 often telling the dispatcher they had to throw another unit online to maintain train speeds. CN stalls fairly often just west of Cory Yard in Lansing. Trains doing pickups out there are unable to make the hi...

Re: Michigan among states vying for $2.4B for high speed rai
I've always thought it would make sense for the Pere Marquette to be extended to Toledo interchanging with the other two routes to take passengers going east instead of everyone having to go to Chicago. Toledo has a decent size station. I don't know anything about the track arrangement or how compli...

I haven't been around the radio for a few weeks but I was hearing 489 work Durand about 12:30 every night. I saw them one day last week pass through Lansing about 06:30

Re: JACKSON - LANSING RR / PART 2
There are some rumors going around RSDC that we may be going to a 24/7 schedule in the near future. 19 days on and 2 off. I heard this last week and was kind of skeptical since it was just a rumor. Over the last couple days all sorts of racks have been showing up. Metal and wood like we usually use ...

Charlotte Alro siding (CN)
I heard a welder on the radio Friday beforei went to work that the Alro switch (MP209.53) would be out of service all weekend as the siding was being worked on. In passing by there on I69 today there looks to be some fancy track equipment sitting out there. If anyone is interested you could probably...

Re: JAIL
It looks as though JAIL is getting ready to head south from RSDC. I can hardly see the engines towards College Rd. From here and can't see the tail end. Looks to be a lot of tanks on it tonight. I probably won't see when they leave as I have to get back inside. 22:57 3/10/11

Re: JAIL
JAIL looks to be in Jackson just south of I94. When I went over the tracks there were cars down there. I'm going to assume its the south bound train. I was inside at RSDC all night so I didn't see when they passed by there. I think it was about this time of night when I heard them talking to NS on S...

Re: JAIL
JAIL just headed south from College Road. They left between 18:05 when I last checked and 18:20 when I looked again. They had two LTEX engines, 3 boxes, 15 coil cars, and 2 mill gons in that order. I did get a video I'll post to my youtube channel tomorrow.

Re: Jackson-Lansing Railroad
I'm starting a new job tonight working outside at RSDC. If I see anything exciting or trains heading out I will try to post something. I'm told I'll have lots of hours to be bored around there so watching J&L do their thing there sounds like a really good idea. I mean I'd be doing it anyway, why not...
