Lake State on the ground in Kawkawlin
Sounds like it just happened in or around Kawkawlin. No real details at this time other then some cars are off or on their sides and at least one crossing is destroyed.

Re: Lake State on the ground in Kawkawlin
Any new news on this-- when is it expected to be back open to rail traffic? Have a small wager with a friend on this .

Huron & Eastern’s garbage track that they still own this far north but won’t maintain and won’t sell to LSRC.

Re: Lake State on the ground in Kawkawlin
At what point , or milepost does it stop being HESR? Surprised that this isn't LSRC, as they have 2 customers just north of this.
Re: Lake State on the ground in Kawkawlin
It was my understanding, the H&E owns the trackage up to Wheeler Rd. Any trackage north of Wheeler Rd is LSRC trackage. Would that be correct ??

Re: Lake State on the ground in Kawkawlin
Sounds about right, but Wheeler Rd. Is about a mile or 2 south of this point.

Re: Lake State on the ground in Kawkawlin
Still derailed up there, or is the track at least open??

Re: Lake State on the ground in Kawkawlin
I read before it is HESR from Mile Post 5 and south this is all ex NYC trackage so that MP5 was negotiated years ago I would imagine.

Re: Lake State on the ground in Kawkawlin
I've seen STB filings that stated mp5 which is just south of the river
The FRA Crossing Database indicates LSRC maintains crossing south to and including 2 Mile Road.
A conflict I would say.

A couple videos by Todd Feldpausch catching LSRC derailing. See 19:28 of the first one.
