Re: Soo Crossing switch engine.

Nicolet, Badger & Northern NW2 #62. Been there since they shut down in 1994, just north of Laona WI. It's now lettered MWLX 62, being vandalized.

Re: SS Badger - closed for the season

I believe the structures are all PM original. The only new parts would be the paving on the Ludington apron, and the grating on the Manitowoc apron. Here are photos I took back in 2011, when I was going back an forth from Ludington and Minnesota. I had no idea when I saw them loading the 6700 Tamper...

Re: Former MMRR Boxcar

Thanks guys for the replies. Interesting how they went from hauling appliances to hauling bird seed. Performance Seed has about a dozen of these boxcars. I can make out YKR and BAEX reporting marks under the paint also. I snapped a couple more photos a little hard to see. Faded stencil for "When emp...

Re: Railroad Crossings and Power Outages

If the light on the bungalow is lit, all is good. If its flashing, local power is out and it is on battery power. If its out, then its malfunctioning and not working.

Former MMRR Boxcar

Here's a former Mid-Michigan Boxcar in South Dakota. As far as I can tell this may be the only one with the large MMRR lettering. While it has had a few different owners, multiple reporting marks are bleeding through. The current owner is Performance Seed (PSMX). Performance Seed has a good size fle...

FOXY will acquire from Marengo Jct to the Wisconsin/Michigan state line. FOXY is a new WATCO operation called the Fox Valley & Lake...

Re: Ex-DW&P Engines

Thanks guys much appreciated. I have the DWP Morning Sun book and it got me wondering, what if any DWP units were still out there running around. Figured the SD40's would have been scrapped by now I just wasn't sure, it looks like they made it into the early 2000's. Here are the DWP painted locomoti...
