Last night, ADBF JL-1 used the CV red caboose with ADBF reporting marks on its SB trip to Jackson to interchange w NS. Anyone got eyes in Jackson to know if this caboose is headed elsewhere or if it returned to Mason?

Hello Detroit area railfans. Is there a safe spot to see all NS Detroit area trains in one location?? (before they split up for the detroit line and the wabash). Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Delray, YD, or Ecorse Jct. Every non local NS train that runs in Michigan passes through each location.

Say what? Westbounds that originate from Oakwood never go by those locations. Eastbounds might pull up to Ecorse for headroom.

Also note that Oakwood Yard and Wyandotte are much safer areasthan Delray and Pleasant Street near YD.
