If my sources are correct, there should be a partial re-timbering happening on the Plymouth subdivision sometime this year.

I believe there are some ties heading to a business in Livingston. M327 has been dropping off loaded cars with ties there recently

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work
Lots of ties spread out on the line from St. Joe bridge to well south of Livingston. M327 set out tie cars in Michigan City today. They’ve dumped ballast from the Saugatuck Hill area to well south of St. Joe. So the project is quite significant on the GR sub. Was curious if the same is happening on the Plymouth.

Ties were distributed along the ROW today in Michigan City.

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work
In a local group on Facebook many people were posting about isbell bridge and how they wish it could be fixed up. Made me think, with all the work they're doing on the Plymouth sub when they reach Howell will they finally take down Isbell bridge? I know at one point CSX wanted to take the bridge down. When the time comes a lot of people will definitely be bummed out, even non train people it seems.

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work
there is the (historical)issue of pedestrian access.
mdot removed the original pedestrian bridge across I-696 to harrison high school and had no plans to replace it.
the replacement bridge lives on while the high school closed and is now a community center.

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work
Looks like the searchlights in Webberville have been removed, I didn’t see them when I was there on Monday. Anyone know if any other signals east of Lansing have come down?

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work
Zimmer and Williamston were still there untouched when I was there Monday. I thought the current project was just between Trowbridge and Williamston?

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work
I might’ve just not seen them, but that’s why I was looking for confirmation

Re: Plymouth & GR sub-div Work
As of now, no indication any signals have been removed. Current slice of action will see Trowbridge to EE Williamston redone sometime in the near future. New locations for Meridian and a signal by the DD at Okemos (CH 90) for the apparent 2 intermediates between the sidings.
