What a terrible loss for the covered bridge and all the other destroyed places in New England.

Interesting video here from New Jersey.

Another serious derailment to the Zephyr Friday in western Nebraska. The train struck construction equipment being used to tear down a grain elevator along the mainline, causing the engines and first four cars to derail and land on there sides. 20 people went to the hospital for non-serious injurie...

I dunno but that's a great shot Mike. The sky is dramatic. It would be even more picture perfect without the wires on the right though for your own collection.

Does the City of Milwaukee dock in Manistee have an apron? I think it would help tell the story of carferries by having an apron at the site. Too bad the apron at St. Ignace collapsed though....it clearly survived many many winters with no maintenance. No apron here. Both aprons are still in place ...

Did you guys make it up there? Plenty of vessel traffic. That's the first I've known of the hydroelectric plant being open for tours. One of busiest days in recent memory provides plenty of traffic for BoatNerds 6/25 - Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. - Engineer's Day 2011 Friday was the busiest day for vess...

Thanks for those comments. The opportunity for the light shining above the lighthouse was only about a second since the boat was moving behind it, glad it turned out.

Nice pictures from both of you. Those must be fireflies in your first night shot Cody.

It's probably more that I didn't know where Omena was until I just checked google maps...maybe no one really knew where you were going and didn't bother to check that it's near Traverse City. Gotta guess Manistee will be dead on a Sunday for your return trip south, as should Ludington, unless MQT's...

About what time is Z151 rolling south and north through White Cloud theses days? Trying to help answer a PM sent to me on RailroadForums.com from the other day.

Thanks guys for the comments.

That was one of those hazy sunsets where you could actually look at the sun and not be blinded. Wouldn't mind having more of them kind. I like your idea.

Setting sun south of Big Sable Point along the shore of Ludington State Park on 6-07-11. http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q287/BB_Michigan/Great%20Lakes/Great%20Lakes%202011/IMG_9902.jpg The vessel named for the river the Badger docks at on the Wisconsin side shows up.

Thanks for sharing Mike. My parents would probably be interested in seeing how their vehicle was built. I would be too.

Great video and pictures, especially the first shot. Your other B&LE chase was awesome too, I just didn't get around to commenting on the thread.

Must be the KC-135 Stratotanker as it looks like the refueling boom is tucked up behind the tail. Cool shot.

Some crazy pictures there csxt4617. Here's a video of the Windoc hitting a lowering lift bridge on the Welland Canal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Wn2RDzsvg Leaving the KCBX dock on board the 739' CSL Assiniboine through all the bridges to Lake Michigan in this sped up video. http://www.youtube....

Thanks GP30M. I forgot you could see the remains of the B&O bridge there so I thought maybe the EJ&E/CN bridge was counted to get the NS bridge to be number 5. If you look at Google Maps in that area, either Calumet or Manitowoc are at KCBX and the St. Marys Challenger is down by 106th Street. Port ...

Question over on the boat forum that maybe someone knows here. Anyone have any information on what happened to the NS-5 bridge on the Calumet River? It has been broke since late Thursday night and is still down as of today. The Lee A. Tregurtha arrived at KCBX Thursday morning and is still here, as ...

Or how the two teens jumped off the Golden Gate this year with only minor injuries.

4/24/11. Was Easter Morning when Manitowoc brought coal for Morton Salt. There's a 24 minute video in two parts showing Manitowoc unloading and leaving town along with MQT Rail switching boxcars from PCA, then returning to the yard later in the afternoon from Martin Marietta. Way easier putting a vi...

Very cool shot with all them different color signals. Maybe more contrast.

Like your Deshler pan and tree framing shot in the database too.
