I saw a CSX NRE GenSet sitting outside the house this morning. Any idea what she's doing in GR? How many do they have?

BIG train!

We pulled into Baldwin at 0856. Just 4 minutes to spare!!

Two unit coal trains at the old GRI North yard waiting to go north 1 to the new power plant at Ludington, the other is for Tondu in Manistee. Power on one is new BNSF run thru, the other has Greinsteins. That's wrong. I heard it was a Big Boy pulling one of those loads. I keep having a dream about ...

It will be your life until you quit, retire or die. Personally though, I have no regrets. If its in the blood, you will be around for alo...

Nice video. I especially liked that it didn't have any annoying music in it--just the sounds of the engines. I do have one suggestion, though, try to get a wind filter for the microphone, that would have made it even better! -- Garry K Amen to the lack of music. Nothing beats the sound of a turboch...

Very nice. Would love to hang out on a real freight line for a day and see what it's really like. Is everyone really nice? How do you like working there?

That is MQT's colors and I'm not sure if it's publicly accessible, but I can tell you it's quite the hike from the nearest public road. I prefer to keep off RailPics for a few reasons. Thanks for the compliments guys! "MQT Throttle Jockey Trainee" Bryan I though you were gonna fix that on Saturday....

The weather is nice and calm up here in Manistee. My contacts in Indiana told me that Elkhart was up to 20 inches at 10am. How much snow do you have?

Thanks Mike!

In honor of my first post, here's a shot I took of the Marquette Rail 3001 at Walhalla on 12/29/07.

Happy New Year!
