No, genius. I’ll let you correct him on the use of the company logo for this promotional video they are sending to potential customers.

A&B is the parent company. So who do you think is doing the advertising and reaching out to new potential customers?

[DaveO]

you really think i didn't know that?

There is no room for being facetious.

Railfanning. Serious. Business.

Charlotte Southern Update:

ADBF 5674, ADBF 2502 and ADBF 5208, the dinner train set, have been sold to CPMY.

CHS #3 is still up for sale (as well as ADBF 1760 and ADBF 1758)

Unknown status on the two cars stuck out in the woods at the end of the line.

[MiddleMI]

Who is CPMY? Were these equipment not being used? I probably need to go back through the thread to see what's going on. lol

[Saturnalia]

Who is CPMY?

Coopersville & Marne

Everyone should take some time to hike out to see those cars.

As of now, believe only a handshake agreement is in place with CPMY. Pending financial ability and interchange agreement to be set up. Routing would be CN to GDLK to CSX to GRE, also require updates to air system to make mainline legal. Will be watching to see how it all shakes out.

CHS #3 is the last GE 44 tonner built, Danville and Southern or something railroad. Its picture is in the second Diesel Spotter's Guide published by Kalmbach years ago.

Maybe, you mean, DANVILLE& MOUNT MORRIS, a small New York short line, controlled now by, IIRC, LIVONIA AVON& LAKEVILLE/WNY&P. A mostly Alco railroad.

If I do any drinking in that area, it'll be up the line in Potterville at Joe's Gizzard City.

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 the dance club I worked in (where he also danced while wearing the costume).

Well as usual, another ADBF thread goes to hell.

Truth.

D&MM is an extension of, and owned by (and operated by) Genesee & Wyoming. I seem to recall that centercab was at Bay Colony in Massachusetts before coming to A&B. I still remember it in orange in Blissfield before it got the paint (which orange later began to show again).
