Very slim chance I could make it. If so, five-ish or later. I have never been there. What are the general train speeds?, as I perfer to shoot rolling stock.

Thanks

Train Speeds...... *Thinks* CSX Probably 40, NS/CP, a little faster... Not sure exactly....

Directions:

275
South to Euruka, Take a Left off the exit (Right if comming north), make a left on Wayne Rd. Take til' you reach Goddard, (only left turn with the airport on your right). Follow til you reach a curve in the road and the Diamond is directly infront of you.....

Ecourse

Follow To Cogswell Rd. Turn South. Turn Left on Wick Rd. Follow til' you reach the tracks. Turn Right on Shook Rd. Follow into Downtown Romulus, Diamond will be on your left.

Hopefully, I'll see ya there...

No, their not mine. I'm the one shooting them

I seriously doubt that the mom wants trains in her daughter's photos. The funny thing though, is that she wants some done on the tracks(CSX Saginaw Sub) up where they live (Holly).

Still Planning on the Meet at Romulus.... I am playing this one by ear...

Current Forcast Is 30% Chance of Storms... From 4-9 pm.....

So, If it happens it will probably be a short blast, but I am still Planning on Meeting on Goddard....

There is a Curve Just as you get to the Diamond, Pull in straight and we'll meet there.... If thats ok with you all.....

Remember!!!! CAMERAS, CHAIRS (BRING THEM IF YOU WANNA), FOOD (ALWAYS APPRECIATED), SUNBLOCK (PROBABLY NECESSARY).....

SEE YOU THERE!!

i'm going monday. What frequency does NS use on that line?

Racer · Unread post by **Racer** » Fri Jun 27, 2008 8:56 pm

Well, I can't go now because I got screwed into scheduel change. Now I work from 2-9pm. Sorry James.

BTW James; DO NOT stay at the side of the diamond where the NS's signal bridge is. I think it's private property because there is alot of NS and CSX trucks that go there, also when GRideJQ and I were waiting for westbound 171 last week, a women came from the house behind that open lot and thought we were selling crack so DON'T STAY THERE! If you want to stay at a safe and legal area, go to the southwest corner of the diamond where most of the railfans are, it's behind the parking lot of a bank.
