A Challenger??? When did we get those??....or is that the new nickname for the Charger, 'cause it's a challenge to keep them running??;-)

This is cool. I’m watching Amtrak turn an engine on the wye at the north end of Pontiac Yard. I’m not close enough to read its number but I’m still enjoying the show. Maybe Buster is engineering the move . Nope.....took my relief day after working the work train the past three days....where was eve...

used to be my old stomping grounds too......I forget the name of this Jct., but I used to go thru here when I worked trains 19 and 20 btw Charlotte and Atlanta....looking west (timetable south) from Donald Ross Rd. on the west side of Charlotte, NC

They are working on the EAST end of the Mich.line....and last I knew, the Reading unit is sitting in the south pass at Wayne Jct. with the empty ballast train, waiting to head back to the quarry

it would be on the 381 property

Not sure if it will be a regular customer or not....the property across from the river and Christoff and Sons Floor Covering (the old Toy House) in Jackson that the JAIL runs next to had the brush cleared and leveled up had 5 BNSF gons of steel brought in that I suspect is being used as a retaining ...

Pleasant Ridge ( Woodward Heights?? Ferndale???), just south of the bridge over I-696 looking east. Track closest to the camera is CN Holly Sub Main #1, next to it is Main #2 and the next two tracks are the run-around tracks that CN uses when they switch out the GFL Recycling plant just north of the...

From what I remember, Reed City had these....starting at the east end of town, there was a place that got in telephone poles and across Roth Street from there, a place got in LPG. The interchange track was in the NE quadrant of the diamond. I only saw this once, but pretty sure it happened before, t...

You missed a loco The Hillsdale County Railway leased their 1601, a GP-7, to the MN a couple of winters in the late 70s'-early 80s' All sorts of customers with small car number totals were along the length of the line. As I'm most familiar with the Reed City/Big Rapids area, I can tell you about som...

nope

working 365-364 on the "Golden RAIL" saturday and sunday

If ever there was a road that needed closed, this would be candidate number 1 for the area......far too many incidents have happened here account of how it's protected, the number of crossings, and of course, the idiot truck drivers who can't comprehend that just because their cab is clear of one of...

Or where the individual lives....I know of several employees who live in the Lapeer area

Woodville Rd., just west of CP 78 on the Michigan Line has functioning crossing protection and no road going across the tracks......when I asked a maintainer about this, was told that someone hadn't made up their mind whether or not to officially abandon the road between the airport property and the...

close.....only engines are wyed at Pontiac....also, since there has been a protect crew called to coincide with 350's arrival to wye it's power and then set up 355 equipment and then go relieve 352's crew, this crew then wyes 352's engine after it's arrival to have the next days 351 set up for an on...

CN had three trains show up pretty much at the same time and at the same place....515, 251, and 514 all met at Johnson Ave. with 251 crossing over there from 1 to 2 and then coming into the yard at Auburn....515 pulled into the yard at Johnson Ave. behind them and 514 then headed south after 251 cle...

Not enough working chargers currently.....they are using # 500 on one of the Milwaukee sets.....and the other day when the P42s headed back to Chi, the 62 went right back out on a Illinoise train as soon as it arrived---the 69 had plow damage and needed some repairs---otherwise it probably woulda be...

Ding, ding, ding......we have a winner

they won't be too big.....supposed to be an equipment move tomorrow to knock down the drifts and remove the fallen tree limbs

here's one reason AAARRR......CN pulled the switch at the east end of that siding you are thinking of, so it would be kinda hard to do run-around moves

I have no idea what they are being tested on.....afaik, the only people that ride in them is a technician of some sort for the car builder and maybe a curious Amtrak employee or two All I know is that those cars feel heavier than Amtrak's cars and that dragging that thing around on the rear of our t...
