L414 (Crawfordsville Local) eastbound lite on the former NYC in Crawfordsville, Indiana right down the middle of Franklin St. GP40-3 #6535 took one loaded boxcar down to LSC Communications on the west side of town. If you aren’t familiar with this stretch of track minus the fact it is sitting on a d...

So why is L301 running on a Sunday and so late in the day? Does this have anything to do with the work train tied down in Wells?

Dort Highway in Flint is closed near I-69 to replace the culvert, so that's not as accessible now. The Eastside of Flint has been getting worse, especially over the last ten years. That said not all of Genesee County is bad. Davison, Swartz Creek and Grand Blanc are safer areas not far from Flint. ...

Sounds like helper power just went through Grandville

When was the last time any big steam ran an excursion or large amount of miles in Mexico? The steam era there held on another decade and a half there but I'm not sure if any railroads down there are open towards such things.

Good location for Lake State Railway from my experience is Flint. If you park at Court Street, you'll be near the Kearsley Diamond which offers some good CN action as well. There is a daily Lake State local that transfers on to the CN Flint sub to work Bristol yard. They tend to head west in the mo...

U302 coming into Wyoming now

P371 clear Grandville

Best way to find out their history is to check inside. Having been a former employee of Padnos I know the doors have been open during my tours of the yard but I never went inside. Reporting marks could be present inside the cars still

Bump on this thread

The last surviving building at this site, either the warehouse or company store has been demolished by lumber company that occupies the site.

Having spent parts of my summers in East Jordan for the 20 years I’ve been on this planet, that is so darn cool. Been trying to find some sort of footage or photos of the #6 doing it’s thing, as I drive by it every time I’m up there at least two or three times a day going places around town. Footag...

Based on my lack of success of getting any pictures of the eclipse (I could not get my camera to focus) trying to incorporate a train into the image would have been a major challenge. I saw a few "horror stories" about slow traffic on the way out of where they were for totality. I managed to avoid ...

Yes, the railroad is clearing the south side of the track on the Erie track.

Did you ever get my email? I got nothing back from you.

Hi everyone, I just have a quick question in regards to L304 and L305. How often do they run and where do they work? I haven't L305 despite the few times I've railfanned East Lansing. I'm just wondering how often they run. If someone could help me out, that would be great. Thanks! I don't know how ...

Status of the rails on Joslyn. If they do come back probably need to run a new set of tracks from I75 to the plant.

Man, I remember how beautiful that crossing looked when I was a kid.

Congratulations to the Vicksburg Historical Society as their Vicksburg Union Depot was listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service earlier this month! The 1904-built high style depot stood at the diamond of the GR&I mainline north to Mackinaw City and the GTW Chi...

Caught a brief glimpse of 151’s tail end as he passed the 96/131 interchange. Seems kinda early for them
