Q368? Clear Chemical Fostoria at 0742. CSX 8196 + 8702.

Vickers (which is what Dan is referring to), Millbury, Swanton or even right at Toledo Union are all good spots. With the downturn in traffic though, the totals have dropped off. I was at Vickers a few months back and it was an HOUR between trains sometimes, when just a few years ago they were runni...

That is not overpriced at all. I think they need to drop the 6 and add a 3 I was thinking the same thing. Look on all the other dealer sites, you can get a bluecarded SD40-2 for that price, maybe 2. I wonder if they had to do a lot of work at NREX to get it to run? I know that paint job didn't cost...

45 Ton was sold off a few years ago. They asked around $15K for it. Unsure who bought it.

Well, guess you can officially put the nail in the coffin for the railroad and coal shipments at MSU, this just showed up on their surplus website... All that investment and work on Farm Lane and ex-IC 1437... http://msusurplusstore.com/catalog/industrial-equipment/spartan-locomotive-switcher-engine...

Your right Alex, that's what I get for being half asleep.

Removed.

Woah, there's a relic. Great shot Dan.

Cool, glad Dave relocated. I had heard he was looking to retire. I'll have to check the new store out when I get back. The new location is a better one too as that intersection is very busy. Nankin at this time is the place to go for trains in the south/western regions of the area. Empire (formerly ...

I agree with CAT. Plymouth was the place to be in 2007-08. Lots of cool stuff.

Well, let's start the sale rumors....

Cool. Glad to know

Actually they do. They have an operating relationship with the Allentown and Auburn shortline in Kutztown, PA. The CRHS fleet is there, both cabs, flatcar, and gon.

The building is marked for NS Comm and Signal. I'd guess it's their stuff, dunno who to ask on the NS side.

The sooner you guys accept that without some big traffic boom in west/central Michigan, CSX nor NS, cares how fast stuff moves across the state, the better off you'll be. Move Chicago-Detroit traffic via Toledo and leave just local traffic for the former PM. Already funneling traffic from other poi...

There are several of these cars in Jackson as well by the old freight depot. I also know of one NYC car in the are as well but it is well hidden. Belong to NS B&B and C&S. A B60b is also there. I wonder if they actually belong to the state of Michigan now or Amtrak, considering NS is just the desig...

Short answer, yes. All the new baggage cars are reportedly in service.
