Re: MI Shortlines November 2015
The Northbound is supposed to leave Owosso around 8. Does the Northbound frequently go to Clare even if there is no southbound to meet?

Re: MI Shortlines November 2015
I might go to Clare tomorrow to catch the GLC meet. They leave Owosso at 0800 or so is all I know. Is there a good spot to catch the meet and take photos? Somewhere where they aren't buzzing along at top speed. I would like to catch the southbound from Cadillac as well as the Northbound from Owosso....

GLC north end questions. Clare. Cadillac. TC. Petoskey
I am thinking about trying to shoot the north end.of GLC in a few weeks. Any tips or info on how the operations.up there work? This would be a Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I would probably go to Cadillac. How much power is kept there. When do they usually run. Have the GP35s been up there as of late?

Re: Norfolk Southern Railway Updates for April 2015
I'm still not following and I work this yard. It came up trailing on 38E. So it should be leading 39E east if it were only 2 units. Which direction is the conrail facing? Doesn't 38E terminate at Wayne.

Re: Amtrak Up-Dates for February, 2015
Looks like today's 350 has the following equipment:
127
151
26
32041
33030
34018
34086
34136
35
35008
Not in that order. Hospital train move should have 2 P42s 2 super liners and the damaged P42 #34. Crew will start putting it together once 355 leaves Pontiac I would guess.

352 has quite a neat consist tonight. Engine 26 leading and 28 on the rear. 2 cafés and a total of 5 coaches. The neat part? 4 of the coaches are 82000 series Amfleets. Nice to see the Budds out here!
