Slipping into full-side sunlight on this cold March afternoon, the NS Jackson/Lansing local rolls by towards her destination of Jackson, only a few miles further South.

6800 sporting a new cab (unknown when or why) backs a cut into the yard in Jackson while the Brakeman watches patiently.

Last departure of the day, late but in spectacular fashion. The crews of the NKP 765 and NS have out done themselves putting on a show for everyone. Thank you to all who made this wonderful day po... (more)

Making a dramatic entrance in to Bucyrus, the engineer lays into the whistle as he rolls slowly towards a reverse move, then the wye, then North again. We had a youngster next to us with his "Popp... (more)

First run departing Bellevue at 9:15am to Bucyrus. I am surprised by the lack of railfans near us, but by the end of the day this place was crawling with them. This was taken by my fiance' Christi... (more)

Finally mounted to a TTX flat, this slightly battle-worn Amtrak unit should be on her way to a rebuild at Beach Grove. This side is the side that sustained the least amount of damage, the other si... (more)

This fine example from LaGrange is doing what she does best, pushing a string of Lumber Cars into the far side of the Jackson yard. She is shortly to be heading to Omnisource with her empties to a... (more)

It's 33 degrees and this fine example of EMD LaGrange is plugged in to alleviate the possibility of freeze damage while sitting all alone on a cold December afternoon. The evening temps have bee... (more)

1751 and sister unit 1752 are shoving hard up the grade which joins the NS Main on the Southeast side of town. What you don't see are the two Brakeman hanging on the other end flagging the crossi... (more)

It is quite cold for a March afternoon but not too cold to watch and listen as this train heads South out of the yard. She was pulling hard fighting the wind which was very strong this day.

A&B GP9 looks down the tracks wondering when she will be repaired and be allowed to roam the rails once again, on April 1, she was sidelined for unknown reasons but C.M.O. Paul Allen deemed her un... (more)

The brakeman waits patiently for his steed to approach from the South, taking another load of empties to be refilled.

A warm April afternoon, work to be done, the question is, which way is the train going?

Just South of downtown Leslie, a sweeping curve at a breakneck speed of 35mph gave me a few extra moments to get a good shot. The train is heading to Jackson where in a short 30 minutes she will ... (more)

"Parked" behind the Mason Depot, the crew just walked into the Mason Depot Diner for some chow. Sure beats a couple of "Spreadie-Freddies" for lunch sitting in a noisy cab. I think todays specia... (more)
