just caught an amtrak train numbered 994. p42 171 a coach and 2 cafes

Well since train is on display on sat and sun I would ASSume it would arrive friday and depart monday morning. Probley added to regular Amtrak trains to save on crew starts. For most of it's travels it has been running as it's own train. Not added to another train. I would expect this to still be t...

NS 99R (work train) clear MP 30 at 8:45. sorry.. late post

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6BeFDtCRx8 Didn't get to photograH the power on the first BNSF train, but it had a Santa fe paint dash 8 and a BNSF paint dash9, but what I did photograph was the CSX gp15-1 on the reAr of the train. By luck amtrak 22 arrived next with p42 45 and 8 cars. A metrA came ...

last night 38e had 9 loaded auto racks, this was werid for me since they normally don't ship autos to Jackson. power was 2 dash 9 and a gp60

USA rail reporting a service disruption on 350 today, is 350 just really late again?

whatever 354 has goes home on 353 generally, but not lately during the trackwork out near Jackson. So it was 517 and 193 on 354 last night. 350 had 26 and 13. pretty sure 352 flips as 351, just like it normally does, and I think that 354 flips as 355 the next night. this is on weekdays, on weekends...

38e clear 32 west BNSF SD70MAC and ES44AC

38E clear 32w at ypsi. 2 dash 9's for power

the tie laying gang is following them to west of MP 30

Dropped Ties from Superior rd crossing (just after MP 30) and I'm pretty sure CP Ypsi (MP 28)

NS started to work at as they called it, Ypsi Yard. From what I have heard on the scanner, they are replacing a crossing or two, replacing the Rusty rail, and just sent a ballast train through running as 99R. This morning they had tons of MofW trucks in Depto Town, and two trucks dragged sections of...

So we got up and drove to joliet yesterday, and got to spend 40 minutes at Joliet Union station. Didn't get to photograH the power on the first BNSF train, but it had a Santa fe paint dash 8 and a BNSF paint dash9, but what I did photograph was the CSX gp15-1 on the reAr of the train. By luck amtrak...

is the 765 going up the ann arbor again?

Not much of a trip, but I thought I would share my video and pictures. They were a sight to see coming in and catching the sun, the amtrak arrow is back along with classic red white and blue stripes. 156 is of course phase I and 66 is phase II

Amtrak 354 had P40 816 leading,adn P42 22 look out for them on 353 today

Last Thursday, NS train 39e approached the Superior road grade crossing at about 3 am. The engineer started his horn sequence blasting the first long tone, then another, no gates. Then he realized that the gates were not activited, and layed on the horn. A car was approaching the crossing, and when ...

What did they have for power?

Not Ex CR C40-8 ( NS black ) a geep and a dash nine, I think. It had woken me up

Today I was driving on Michigan ave past the Ford plant in Wayne. I was checking out the auto racks being loaded on the east side of the property, and then I look to the west and see four more strings of auto racks being loaded! I had never seen them using that loading area before. A good sign for t...
