Re: CSX Train Location Update 4-26-12

Saw Y121 in Hamilton around 1:50pm. Brought 14 CH and tankers and took back about that many. I've never seen over 20 cars in Hamilton. Why so much traffic. Always know that the CH have been going to Hamilton but about 6 black tankers too. What is this addional traffic? Great to see Hamilton busy :) ...

Re: GLC in TC -HEADS UP AGAIN!

Seems to me that it would just be easier to take them to Williamsburg and use the run-around. Plus, it would be nice to see the rust ground off those rails out there. Been waiting for a chance to get a shot of a GLC locomotive at the end of the line there right at Elk Lake Rd. Have one that somebod...

Re: Holland-Ottawa Beach Spur to TLC

I noticed 4 boxcars that go to TLC sitting on Spur just east of Aniline and Ottawa Beach Road in Holland. Not normally where they are spotted. Did it look something like this, but with another box in place of the loco? http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y17/jimthias/Trains/CSXT2775-2637.jpg Hey JT, T...

Holland-Ottawa Beach Spur to TLC

I noticed 4 boxcars that go to TLC sitting on Spur just east of Aniline and Ottawa Beach Road in Holland. Not normally where they are spotted. Then I saw ties across tracks by TLC and work being done on the tracks by the warehouse. I'm thinking a rail broke when backing/pulling cars out and the loca...

Even bought some binders but never used. Railfan mags run from mid-1990's to mid 2000's. I know that Trains' magazines ...

Re: Sturgis/Three Rivers - 9/23/11

I hear conflicting reports about OmniSource about whether they are shipping or not. I know many OS locations ship a lot by rail. At the north end of this segment I hear Ross still receives tank cars of food additives. And IIRC the paper plant has a 2nd spur that connects to this segment as well as ...

Re: Amtrak P371 snow busting videos

Great Videos JT.

The second video, where the pick-up truck was just over the crossing between the tracks and Chicago Drive.....that could have been bad. They had to have been blasted with snow big time, wouldn't surprise me if it dented the side of the truck.
