It may be somewhere down by Detroit. That sand train goes down the holly. Does anyone know where it ultimately goes?

Road freight is working south end of Pontiac Yard. It’s been blocking Johnson Rd. for 15 minutes and doesn’t look ready to move. This will bring down its velocity rate :lol: .

Emmons Rd is in Wyandotte. The 756 train goes to Toledo, then to Wheeling & Lake Erie I believe.

Too cool. My son lives on the wle and sent me video of a sand train a while ago down there. It crossed my mind it might be the same traffic that comes by here but I wasn't sure how to know. I'll have to start giving the heads up when they come by here

You will quite often see those trains sitting in Lang yard in Toledo with WLE power (and a lot of it) tied on for the pull southward. Beautiful sight when a solid set of those D&RGW inspired SD' s are in charge !
