The cam is not very far from YD, maybe 5-10 mins. You can search up on Youtube: Trenton, MI Railcam. Its what I do

It’s about 12-14 miles away from the Fort Street Cam. Also here’s a link to that cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/EazZSDvRgc ... 0ojnpdsMzG

More like 30 minutes.

You do have to remember that YD is in River Rouge (the next town over from Dearborn) and Fort Street is in Trenton/Flat Rock (it’s pretty much on the border of the two). It’s a bit of a ways.

R934 with EJE 663 went to the Delta Siding switch today to grab RBEX 4910 the old LBWL GP9. They brought it back to Snow Yard for L501 to take.
LansingRailFan!!!! I was "Off the Grid" since Friday night! But, I would have gone to Lansing that Friday March 22nd if "Railfan Gary" was available! :( Man old LBWL GP9 would have been great to see! :cry: Especially with the "Orange" EJ&E SD38-3 locomotive pulling in fresh snow!!!! :shock: Now, does anyone know when ex GTW GP9 #4910 will depart Lansing Snow Yard? :?: Will L501 likely take it tomorrow, Monday? :?: Will this be dropped off at Battle Creek? Where is it headed? I seem to remember someone mentioning it will stay in MI, but were not permitted to say where! Well, which general direction will it head? It would be nice if it came eastward!
R934 pulled it today. The switch was frozen last week.

It’ll take L501 to BC. From there it will take L539 to Pavillion. It’s going to somewhere on the Grand Elk I believe.

RBEX 4910 is the new reporting marks.

Two light engines (an SD70M-2 and some sort of AC gevo) just left Moterm engines lite. 507 already left, and I doubt whatever 384 is now would run with no cars, so maybe a giant intermodal train out of Moterm tonight?
