I don't know why I responded, you won't read this and go ask the same question on discord anyway.

Youre point has been proven wrong. I just responded, and to add I dont have discord either.

Grand Elk runs over those two diamonds. The east one just serves local industries like Graphic Packaging. The west one is what Grand Elk uses to reach Plainwell and Grand Rapids. Oh okay makes sense. How many trains go through there per day? I know there is 8 Amtrak trains per day, a NS local (not ...

So I was out in Kalamazoo today and I caught Amtrak I knew there was diamond in Kalamazoo but I didnt know there was a second so I was wondering what the other diamond that cross the Amtrak Michigan Line are and how many trains that area would see total. What I assume is there are 6 Amtrak trains pe...

I was just asking a question, yall dont gotta be so rude

My buddy just texted me telling me CPKC recently bought the CSX Plymouth Sub. I was wondering why and he said that NS dosent want the extra traffic on the Chicago Line so CPKC bought the Plymouth Sub so they could reroute there trains off the Detroit District also. Can anyone tell me if this is true.

I am looking at going back to Bellevue here soon. I have been there a couple times, once in the morning and the other in the afternoon, in the afternoon I only saw 4 trains. But when I went in the morning I saw 9. My buddy who lives in Battle Creek went up to Bellevue in the morning and caught 14 tr...

If you’re filming and a crew does that at night, it is a lifesaver…so you don’t have to deal with the lens flare. Train crews are people too you know!

It was broad daylight, lol.

So I was out in Bryan today and this is the first time this ever happened to me. This intermodal train with 2 UP leaders passed me and as he got closer he dimmed his nose light and shut the ditch lights off. He had a clear signal so he was not stopping, and there we're no other trains near. I have h...

NS 358 pulling into Bryan, OH with 4430, 7685, and 7635. Doing work before setting off for Detroit

Why are you not looking at the Wiki for this? All of your answers are already posted there...

Tried looking there... Didnt find anything

Terms of Michigan railroading, Battle Creek is probably if not the hottest spot for trains in Michigan. Around 20-24 CN trains a day, 8 Amtrak trains and maybe an NS local. Battle Creek is much busier than Milan. The wabash through Milan only sees 12 trains a day maybe less than that. 7-8 NS trains...

I was browsing the Princeton railcam and saw CSX and NS share a mainline their. I was wondering how many trains Princeton see's in a day. I tried looking it up and saw somewhere that said it saw 60-80 trains a day. But both lines aren't double tracked all the way so I dont see that being possible. ...

On a typical day in New Buffalo you'd see M326, M327, P371, P370, and likely a loaded coal train and an empty coal train on CSX. On the Amtrak side, there are the 6 Wolverines and 2 Bluewaters. NS local B05 runs up the Michigan Line 2 or 3 days a week. B01 is an extra symbol that they sometimes use...

Literally just go to any place on the NS Chicago line through Ohio and you won't be dissapointed. Milan sucks nowadays. Ann Arbor runs at night usually and NS runs a majority of their traffic at night. Just go to Ohio. Literally Toledo is the biggest hub closest to Michigan. Everything changes once...
