Lol the filter has really done a number on trying to read this thread!!! What exactly happened? I'm a bit confused. I may be the only one not amused by it. lol Z is not a fan of sn0w this early in the season, so he made a filter. If you type it normally, it comes out "fluffy white pieces of death"....

Still not sure what they are doing, but there is a bunch of trucks & equipment on the main around mp 220 between Washington & MLK in Lansing.

Amtrak 364 out of East Lansing at 21:56

4615, 6 cars & 4618.

Must be track work or something in Lansing, as Amtrak ran the thorofare from Mill to Cedar and then worked EL on m1 instead of M2.

I did not film that, had forgotten about the stored spine cars. If it helps, the NS/JAIL transfer was October 2010

Their schedule is always a mess. There is the "US Train" schedule & the "Canadian Train" schedule, but when you look at the US schedule they include the Canadian train if it is in the US. Those are the New York stops. The US train is in Windsor on the 24th & Bensenville IL on the 25th, so yeah, pret...

That one actually got posted a couple of years ago.

The last of my '90s stuff went up in July & I'm well into 2000 now. Should be posting things from this century by January.

Just ran across this news article from Feb 1970 announcing that the Gier St roundhouse would shortly be closed with engine servicing moving to Cavanaugh.

"The Farm" it is.

Thanks

I'm working on identifying locations from old video and am curious if there is an official or unofficial name for that farm with the barn along the tracks. You know, the one between Ada & Lowell that everyone has a picture of.

Thanks. I'd forgotten that the GT went over there. It would have been CMGN by 1990 when I was there.

... Wasn't the old light a high intensity strobe? I recall seeing it without looking for the light. They were in 2006. WY3rmi8jSB0 Did they have to widen the track spacing at Ogden Dunes for the gauntlet or was that planned for when they put the second track in? That was what, 10-15 years ago?

Eastbound with CN 3158 2875 3051 meeting 149 at East Lansing at 7:23

Back in the day, the TSBY interchanged with CSX at a siding at "Harger" near Saginaw. I see a Harger trail that I assume is the former TSBY line, but am not sure exactly where the siding was located.
