Re: GDLK Operations
In today’s world, it could very well be that something about Mr. Gearhart’s past made it inappropriate to continue to have the yard named after him. This may not sound relevant, but hear me out: Ferris State University has a building called the David L Eisler center (for the many FSU alumni on this...

Re: New Ogihara Gondola Cars
I continue to see a steady flow of these gondolas cycling through CN’s Pontiac yard. From there they go to either the Ferrous Processing yards in Pontiac or Detroit (on DCON). The majority of them go to DCON. However some of them go up to the Ferrous facility on the former PO&N in Auburn Hills. Unr...

CN L507 chase - Charing Cross - Pontiac, Michigan
https://youtu.be/9RbJ3xd7cPM?si=wBhpSkRdBwtuXnoh Trying a new format out for this video, and I let my girlfriend take the reins for editing on this one. I think she did a good job. L507 on 3/17 had quite a wild lineup in terms of locomotives. I couldn’t possibly miss this lashup, but we had to go up...

Looks great so far! I’d like to see the engines sometime soon
Are you going freelanced or is there a particular railroad you’re modeling?

Re: New Buffalo MI Railfanning Action
Well James, you have CSX M326 and M327 that run but they dont stick to a daily schedule so you'll have to figure out a day they both run. Usually CSX run's 2 coal drags through there a day. Amtrak 370 and 371 also travel down the CSX. (370 is mornings and 371 is nights) for AML wise you have one NS...

Re: CN Train Location Updates - March 2024
Two light engines (an SD70M-2 and some sort of AC gevo) just left Moterm engines lite. 507 already left, and I doubt whatever 384 is now would run with no cars, so maybe a giant intermodal train out of Moterm tonight?

Re: New Buffalo MI Railfanning Action
I'm doing a trip to New Buffalo MI within the next few weeks, how much action does CSX and the Amtrak Michigan Line (NS Locals) get? I know not all of the CSX trains on the GR Sub run that far south, but I'm just trying to get an idea of what I can expect. If someone could help me out that would be...

Re: CSX on Conrail Shared Assets
No, they did away with that probably close to two decades ago. I don’t know why, as I was very young when both CSX/NS ran to Sterling, but I do have vivid recollections of seeing CSX standard cab Dash 8’s and SD60’s of all variants that CSX owned sitting in Sterling yard. On one day in June this pas...

Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - March 2024
Is Marquette Rail originating a grain train out of Newaygo today? Z151 went north awhile ago but I’m pretty sure I’m hearing a horn in Newaygo as of 3:20pm. No grain train on the MQT currently. They went north with 75 at 1230 from Fuller. Probably was hearing things earlier. That must’ve been 151 I...
