    Comment by 'lemscate' in media 'Oops!'

    The C&M is indeed a tourist railway. They run on 6 miles of track, with about 6 or 7 more leased out for freight. April is trackwork month, so I was out helping the 'regulars' replace ties. Not much got done that day, as half the time we were busy rerailing equipment...

    CSX GRMS 1 receives orders

    CSX's GRMS stopped in front of the new parking ramp, and one of the crew engages in conversation with an employee who drove up early to make sure the construction crews were off the tracks. The GRMS came back from the Ludington Sub, where it had been scanning or whatever it does.
