CSX on Conrail Shared Assets

Gotta question regarding traffic on the north end of CSA (north of Milwaukee Junction) - does CSX still run any trains up there to North Yard/Sterling? I recall years ago when I would pass through that area, I'd catch both CSX and NS trains on Sterling Secondary, and there'd be a thorough mix of bot...

Re: Grand Blanc Tornado

Looks like it peaked in intensity as an EF2 right by the railyard. I haven't seen anything about it affecting the tracks, although it did heavily damage a warehouse adjacent to it. On a side note, the National Weather Service on Twitter says this is only the second tornado recorded hitting southeast...

GTW 4914 at Durand and Duffield 2-23-24

I ended up catching GTW 4914 after it had finished switching in the yard in Durand tonight. It left after 507 cleared town to follow it back towards Flint. I apologize for the trashy quality, it was a last minute chase using my phone in low lighting. Still was really neat seeing original blue/orange...

Re: CN Train Location Updates - February 2024

What appears to be 508 is going south through Linden at 8:18pm. 5 CN engines leading. IIRC the trailing units number was 5296, with the preceding two units appearing to be the same loco type. Two generic newer units were leading.

Re: CN Location Updates December - 2023

What I presume is 508 is currently rounding the High Wye in Durand to head south down the Holly Sub at 7:12pm. GTW heritage leading, generic CN trailing (didn’t take note of numbers). Lots of empty center beams today.

Re: CN Dearborn Sub

I know the wiki is really out of date, but I notice it says there is a CN interchange train between Flat Rock and Oakwood Yard (R975). If that or something similar is still running now, perhaps the plan is to have that train pick up blocks of intermodal at Oakwood, take them back to Flat Rock, then ...

Where in Gaylord is the transload site at?

Right by Millbocker Road where the site of a Georgia pacific plant was closed and demolished long ago.
Ahh ok, thanks!
