I took a drive to Lansing to do some sight-seeing, and down to the new State Park Meridian Baseline.
On the LSMS branch of the JAIL, it looks like the flasher on the wig-wag @ Isbell drive has been removed. Nothing @ the QD, but a string of coal hoppers either in storage or for repair to the E of MLK drive. The terminus business, where rail cars are repaired, had a caboose and a Conrail boxcar.
On the belt line, nothing in storage near I-696. Also, the old Conrail auto loading fingers, where A&B advertised for storage, looked pretty rough. It looks like not a lot of rail activity down there. Any interchange w/ CN in a while?
Lastly, the elevator in Leslie is still in-place, but a derailer on the spur. Any idea of any future activity here?
