11:33 - "ONTN" is NB out of Owosso with 396/395/383/393 and 12 tank cars, 3 CHs, 8 tank cars, 1 CH and two more tank cars

There’s another train moving gondals cars around Owosso yard. Don’t know if that’s the real ONTN or just some switcher

Anything on the Mid Michigan heading to Alma?

I hope you don't mind a slow predictable pace of train action, but the answer is 6 or 8. For Amtrak check whatever day you're going with Amtrak's track a train or tickets. Trains get through Ypsi either 10 mins before arriving in ARB westbound or about 10 minutes after departing EB. M-Th this summe...

I plan to go railfan Ypsilanti MI in a few weeks, and I was wondering how many trains a day go through that town

My friend at SRI also heard the rumors but hasn’t confirmed it. It has come to my attention today that GLC now has a dispatcher contracting company doing their dispatching. When did this take effect? I heard that rumor to, I heard it’s due to them being contracted out due to them not “filling in sp...

It has come to my attention today that GLC now has a dispatcher contracting company doing their dispatching. When did this take effect? The CSX dispatcher can no longer get in touch with Owosso to put blockers in place for a train to pass across the diamond on red signals and will now have to flag ...

What looks like 391 and 393 are moving around on the SRI cam

Any word on ONTN?

OH MY GOD ITS A2TC, ITS HAPPENING

Anything going to Kalamazoo? Just curious.

With the Corridor ID coming out a few weeks ago, as well as other states starting to fund trains, which one out of all of them could happen in 5 years in less. In my opinion they are A2TC (Ann arbor to Traverse City MI) NYC-Scranton All of North Carolina trains Virginia commonwealth corridor Brightl...

Is it planned for ONTN to go back north or would that be for tomorrow?

With how everything is going with these engines I wouldn't be surprised if this happens to them. I can see the GP35 being pushed down to Yard jobs or small local trains (Cadillac-Mcbain, any trains north of Cadillac, Ashley to Middleton, etc), with how many times these engines have been on the sidel...

Hopefully this bridge remodel will allow 1225 to go north to Petoskey and TC, and what I heard, more shipments could go north as well, so the possibility of new customers on the line. Sounds like a good next couple of years for business in Northern Michigan

SRI Maroon and Gold Express building their football train, consisting of 4 coach cars, gift shop/diner car, and the newly repainted C&O Cabooses. Short train.

So it looks like Michigan SR, Brian Begole is doing a fall tour excursion this year with 1225, this will be the engines first run since 2 years ago. What do you guys think.

Hi, I’m trying to railfan around Colorado, and I was wondering, which branch line is the busiest? I’m also interested in seeing Amtrak too.

ONTN left Owosso 14:17
