I’m probably going to be making several trips down to the CSX in like the Grand Rapids area throughout the years while I’m at Ferris State, I’m willing to go as far south as Saugatuck.
I’ve railfanned the GR Subdivision twice, both of which I got super lucky and managed to catch trains by either dumb luck or watching the forums on this very website
Does anyone have any interesting photo/video locations between Saugatuck and GR that I should give a go? I also have a drone if that’s relevant, so I feel like that may expand my options.
I will post some locations that I have been at:
Grand Rapids Sub mp 0.0 to mp 33.3
- Ivanrest if you want to see M327/Amtrak departing very early in the morning hours
- Grandville by the water tower (Ottawa Ave and Chicago Ave)
- Grandville (underneath 28th St) (curve action
- Jenison (Main St in the dead-end circle) (curve action)
- Hudsonville (straight double tracks)
- Port Sheldon St/Chicago Drive by the twin lakes
- Holland Depot (varies by train)
Grand Rapids Terminal Area (Amtrak Station area)
- By the US 131 overpass, a curve near Amtrak Station in GR
- Godfrey (signals/switching/trains coming n going)
- Freeman Ave (far east side of the yard/drone action possible)
- Judd St (possible drone action if permitted)
ATARP out, the majority of my videos are in those locations too
