Wonder what the speed was on the old D&M?? ALSO-- what happens to the Alpena yard job, and/ or the old roundhouse in Alpena??

Thanks, Dave. O, for the quick answer. If I remember correctly, this would have been right behind the glass plant .Never knew it was there, now I know. Too bad it's all gone now. Thanks again!!

I am getting old, so forgive me--- but--- somewhere it was referenced that there used to be a WYE in Evart. Used to run up there when working, to pick up at the glass plant, and cannot remember/figure out where there was a wye, so can anyone tell me where it was? Thanks in advance!

David-- so sorry to hear about your girlfriend. May she make a complete recovery. As a retired professional driver, I have seen more than enough accidents. I REALLY wonder when the legal system is EVER going to take this problem seriously. May God watch over you both, and take time to let her recove...

APRIL. FOOL????

Sort of familiar with that area, but my question is--- the old CR line that went to the Packard Plant ends somewhere close to this area, so that makes it a switchback now to get into the Poletown GM plant, correct??

Cannot remember the name, but, is it from an ATLAS track plan book??

Thank you- I thought that might be what happens.

Does anyone know if CertanTeed-- or Koppers, has a trackmobile, or something to move cars? I ask because all of the vids show strings of cars being pulled out or pushed into this area, but yet nothing to show CN actually moving/ placing cars at CertainTeed, which would require a run around move, and...

Near Cheboygan, Mich. ??

That's what I was looking for, THANKS GUYS!!

OK, no problem-- so, those who live near there, or have seen the pocket of the switchback--- how many cars, or feet are there between the switch points, and the end of track??

Wonder how those SD23'S would work out, if there were more of them, and they were kept in a dedicated consist. Like an old Baldwin-- they won't work with other locos, but have an entire lash- up of Baldwins, and they would pull anything. And, use alot less fuel.

According to Google maps, there are 2 separate ends of track in L'anse-- one on the old mainline, with a passing track, and one that branches off and crosses a main road, also with a passing track. Near the end of track, there is a switchback into Certainteed/ Celotex. How many car lengths are there...

THANK YOU!

Is Terex the old Pettibone plant? And in L'anse, they still have Celotex, correct?

The former CR, nee PC,nee NYC yard at 22 Mile and Shelby Road---- was it ever bigger than the 2 or 3 tracks???

Well, the loco was dirty, and he,wanted to wash it, and......................

According to my son, NS has had a derailment in Pennsylvania, near Bethlehem,involving 2 or 3 trains. No fatalities, nothing hazardous-- so far-- leaking. My son also opined that NS is getting to stand for Never Safe. Have to now replace a cup of coffee, which was spit in that opinion!! Ha. Ha!!!! N...

Thanks, Bob!!
