Re: More new signals on the Grand Rapids sub
Well, I've been to every crossing between St. Joseph and Kirk, and unless we've had a foot or so of snow in the last day or so, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to drive down any of those roads. Well, I don't know what kind of vehicle you have, but I have a Chevy Cavelier. When I typed the o...

Re: More new signals on the Grand Rapids sub
Bald tires on your car? No, lack of plows on roads, plus lots of blowing and drifting yesterday and today. While watching the signalworkers hoisting the signal in place in the snow and wind yesterday, I couldn't help think of the trainman down in FL about 15 years ago when I was railfanning with my...

Re: More new signals on the Grand Rapids sub
Yesterday I watched the crews hoist the new wb Riverside signal in place, the signals at the east end of double track were already up. The wb signal for going onto double track had three signal heads, with three lights each. (sorry, not a signal geek like my brother-look for more signal updates from...

Re: More new signals on the Grand Rapids sub
A new bungalow for crossing signals is being installed today at Bessemer Rd. near Coloma. Also, there is a platform for a new bungalow at the next crossing west, Kerlikowske Rd. Both are currently signalled with crossbucks, bells and flashers. It is my understanding that the new signals will have ga...

Re: If this gets you a detention these days...
I think anyone would probably get detention for that.
However, 20 years ago the phone call to parents was more likely as most people didn't have e-mail 20 years ago.

Re: CSX MI Train Location Update 2/17/10
Just sitting at the computer, listening to the scanner.... P370-17 was on time this evening, departing St. Joseph at 8:03 pm. AMTK 27 was leading, with 20 axles in the train. I'm guessing an engine, three cars, and a cab, 90219. Currently, N903-16 has just cleared the Vine detector( CG 91.9) with 52...

Re: More new signals on the Grand Rapids sub
In response to my brother's post, there are also new crossing signals going up at many Xings. Zoschke Rd (sp?) got new ones last fall with gates, replacing crossbucks with stop signs. Bessemer Rd has bases for signals, which were installed around Thanksgiving '09. I'm not sure of the name of the rd ...

E949 just cleared 66.2 with 532 axles and 7202 ft. It has BNSF 9645.[/quote]
E949-14 got longer at vine(91.9) it was 7250 ft. probably due to the train being stretched out while climbing the hill at St. Joseph.
