Does anyone know their latest schedule for the Delta crews run up to Flat Rock and back? Also, a buddy of mine saw them using two of the new GE’s on that run recently.

Yes what your seeing is the rebirth of the little yard that served as an exchange or swap yard all those years ago with the rebuilding of the yard. Most of stub tracks were so bad for those years the iory put them out of service and along with relaying track for the part that ns or gtw tore out in ...

I was down in Delta over the weekend and finally made time to drive around and explore the IORY. I noticed that along the south side of the NS Chicago Line, from County Road 10, there appears to be new track being laid to the east, going towards the IORY yard. Are they extending their yard, or is so...

The A&B has moved ADBF 1755 and the MOW Flat Car out of the Grosvenor Spur, as of a week or so ago. It is my understanding, from reading posts on other sites, that there will be grade crossing work done to Grosvenor Hwy. and that switch may be pulled, as part of the project.

Just bumping this thread. The ADBF has done quite a bit of cleanup around their Blissfield yard, as of late. ADBF 1755, one caboose and the MOW flat car have all been moved out of town, to different parts of their line. All other cars that were in storage, on the north storage siding, have been move...

Good afternoon! I am looking to take the couple hour trip down to Deshler and Fostoria on a Saturday or Sunday sometime soon. My question is, what are the best times of the day, at each of these locations, to catch trains on the weekends?

https://www.wlns.com/news/local-news/mason-police-investigating-train-vandalism/ I know there is a separate thread about this, but it appears to be dead. I noticed the article states that the Business Car and Caboose will be moved back to Blissfield for repairs. I wonder if they will remain in Bliss...

I noticed the article states that they will be moved back to Blissfield for repairs. I wonder if they will remain in Blissfield after the repairs are completed to prevent further vandalism? Blissfield’s yard is pretty open to plain sight in most directions with a pretty good police presence around i...

I recently got a new scanner, and am working on a master list of frequencies I might need in an organized fashion. Most of what I'm finding online is either listed by RR rather than geographically, or potentially out of date, or both. My plan is to start several threads here covering different area...

ADBF was out of the barn today.

Definitely a big change from the old scheme, but she's a beauty! I love it.

I don’t know if this has already been discussed somewhere or not, but I live in southern Michigan near the IORY line. I have many questions about this line. From what I can tell, they have a daily run north and back south (does it have its own train symbol?) Where does this train originate from and ...

With both new to JAIL locomotives on the property and prepping for service, has there been any more insight on which of the three (or all of them) GP9's are going back down to ADBF? Any ideas when they might be sent back?

According to a post on a Facebook group that I follow, NS 120 will have DLCX 6410 in tow to Detroit, ultimately destined for the JAIL, either tomorrow or Saturday. Does 120 go through Elkhart? If it does I’ll probably see it I do not know the route of NS 120 or if it goes through Elkhart, IN.

Awesome, thank you. They are both DCC Ready, but I'm just not ready for the upgrade yet! Haha.

So, an update to my original question/issue. I was able to find two GP9's in the road name and color scheme that I want to model, they are just numbered wrong. I now have a Walther's Proto GP9 GTW #4434 (which I want numbered #4545) and a Walther's Mainline GP9 GTW #4555 (which I want numbered #4554...

Is it okay to use multiple locomotives powered by standard DC, as long as they are the same brand and run a similar speed? I have a Walther's Proto GP9 and a Walther's Mainline GP9 that are both DC. They appear to run the same speeds and from everything I have read, they more than likely are the sam...

Now that ADBF 821 is in Mason, does anyone have any rough ideas how long before it enters service? Asking only because I have no idea how long it takes to paint a locomotive and if there is any other servicing that has to be done to it.

Is there any updates on when DLCX 6410 will arrive?

Hello all, I am interested in having a couple GP9’s custom painted and lettered. Can any shell (factory painted and lettered) be custom painted and lettered or do I need to get some un-decorated shells to have the custom work done to them? Also, does anyone have any links to some good places to have...

The rigid wheelbase of a 3 axle truck is longer than that of a 2 axle truck, which could be a problem on a very tight curve, and the overall weight of the 6 axle loco is more. However, Conrail & NS ran 6 axle engines on this line on a regular basis, so I suspect it will be just fine. Your explanati...
