Re: Howell Noticings
The most eastern side where the rail spur is, or was, and which was disconnected from the main line several years ago, has been leased out to non-other than Thai Summit themselves. When I first saw this, the light bulb went on to what an opportunity to use rail service for auto parts loading again,...

Re: Hamilton Northwestern Railroad Co.
Exactly. It’s time to be respectful and understand that the people who know are unable to talk about the situation, whatever it is. Let it be. I know of a few things that happened, but I don’t think I should speak of them. What I will say is there isn’t much of a way to get cars up to the HNW as th...

Re: ADBF/JAIL Changes Made Under New Ownership
Charlotte Southern Update: ADBF 5674, ADBF 2502 and ADBF 5208, the dinner train set, have been sold to CPMY. CHS #3 is still up for sale (as well as ADBF 1760 and ADBF 1758) Unknown status on the two cars stuck out in the woods at the end of the line. Honestly, looking at the whole picture this was...

Purely negotiation tactic with UAW.

Re: Pending rail car retirements, high scrap rates tighten equipment market
I recall CN car shop staff at Gladstone telling me that the ex CNW ore cars over 50 years old were banned from interchange and were subject to a more rigorous inspection program and frequent oversight from FRA. IIRC the FRA inspector was on the property weekly. I have a friend who just started at t...

How much of GLC is still stick rail? It’s weird to me seeing such modern locos on stick rail.

Re: Pending rail car retirements, high scrap rates tighten equipment market
What standards/qualifications does a car need to meet at 50 years old? I still see cars built in the 60's or old MOW equipment built in the 40's on Class 1's. IIRC a couple of CB&Q 40 foot boxcars lasted until a couple years ago in BNSF MOW service. Does the rule just prevent interchange between ra...

Re: Riverview Trenton Railroad
I’m a few days late on this but the work has been completed and the road is reopened. There’s a shiny new crossing signal, something that was never there in the McLouth days, complete with a good old fashioned signal bell, not an e-bell. Couldn’t get a picture since I was driving. Now to figure out ...

IORY departing Flat Rock
3488 and 2489 leading a long train. 70 cars. Mostly loaded center beams and scrap gons with a few tanks and covered hoppers mixed in. 2 of those tankers were labeled liquified carbon dioxide.
