Re: Durand Railroadfan Meet 5/12/18
Ben, did you happen to catch what traffic was set off and picked up?
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

AARR, I did not get exact car numbers. However, I know that 502 set off primarily traffic for HESR and Dow Chemical.

Some photos from the meet:
Candice's shot:
4 dude's who appeared to be there to watch the passengers get off of Amtrak at night, all staring at their phones.

Re: Durand Railroadfan Meet 5/12/18
L504 just went straight through EB. Sometimes L504 has work at Flint and/or Lapeer, though. Also I've heard that what looks like an L504 can occasionally be an M348. And sometimes an M348 can "become" an L504 in Michigan on its way east; it's a bit confusing to me, to be honest.ConrailDetroit wrote:What did 504 do at Durand?

If I recall correctly, 502 backed into the yard with 25 cars, and departed with 4 before hooking onto the rest of the train and continuing east.bnsfben wrote:AARR, I did not get exact car numbers. However, I know that 502 set off primarily traffic for HESR and Dow Chemical.
#149, the intermodal at 9:38, had 159 double stacks, 35 singles, and 15 empties.
