Re: Hamilton Northwestern Railroad Co.
Exactly. It’s time to be respectful and understand that the people who know are unable to talk about the situation, whatever it is. Let it be. I know of a few things that happened, but I don’t think I should speak of them. What I will say is there isn’t much of a way to get cars up to the HNW as th...

Re: ADBF/JAIL Changes Made Under New Ownership
If I do any drinking in that area, it'll be up the line in Potterville at Joe's Gizzard City. :D Joe's a great dude. I'll see you there. I've been good friends with him since 1988. The next time you run into him, ask him about the full chicken costume he once wore to Denny's after a night out at th...

Re: Amtrak Train Location Update/Heads Up thread 2023
Is 350 operating this summer? Haven't seen it for a couple days now (though I did see 355 yesterday) and the Amtrak Train Status says that it is not operating on the day I ask. Looks like 350/353 are weekend-only for a while: https://www.amtrak.com/alert/wolverine-trains-350-and-353-temporarily-sus...

_UgqQH7B-XI GRE delivering 23 loads to King Friday September 23 2023. I just missed them pulling the empties, which someone earlier stated were 15. Still more loads at Fuller yard, and a track of loads at Segwun. It would be interesting to know why they didn't unload Monday or Tuesday. Interesting ...

Re: Amtrak Train Location Update/Heads Up thread 2023
Is 350 running these days? Several times over the past week or so I've checked the docs site late morning/early afternoon and 350 doesn't show up. Today it's not there either.

Hi, I’m trying to railfan around Colorado, and I was wondering, which branch line is the busiest? I’m also interested in seeing Amtrak too. The CZ takes the Moffat Route, with #5 generally departing Denver in the morning (it departed on time at 8:05am today) and #6 arriving in the evening (around 6...

No. You’ll need to go a bit to the south.
