Re: AA Train Symbols
In the later years the AA operated TF-5 and FT-2 from one end of the rr to the other.. To-7 and OT-8 operated between Toledo and Owosso and FC-4 operated from Frankfort to Cadillac and back. RS-100 worked Saline, Ann Arbor and up to Whitmore Lake.

Lumber When I worked at River Rouge back in 2010 they would get the occasional load of lumber along with the normal cars of sand. I believe the lumber was used when the glass was being shipped out in the truck

Re: Study Time....again - A2TC commuter rail project
Do you think Delta, United, and the rest would be profitable if THEY had to build the airport, maintain it, and staff air traffic controllers ? Not on your life !

Re: Ford Dearborn Question
Before Conrail came to be, Livernois yard had a day job that delivered cars to Fords at Miller Road. The train had to be blocked as well: loaded boxes, mty boxes, loaded gons, and loaded hoppers. Typical run was 25-30 cars in, same amount out, however there were days where 60 cars out also occured.
