I AM DOWN AT THE FLINT LSRR YARD AVERAGE ONCE A WEEK SOMETIMES MORE OFTEN. SOME AMAZING THINGS ARE HAPPENING.

ONE THING THATS EXCITING IS THEY HAVE HAD AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN OR MORE TRAINS BETWEEN BAY CITY AND FLINT THROUGH SAGINAW THAT HAVE EXCEEDED 100 CARS PLUS.

GRANTED, THAT NUMBER DROPS DURING THE WINTER WHEN THE STONE CAR MOVEMENTS GO AWAY UNTIL THE SPRING, HOWEVER I LOOK FOR THE DAY WHEN THEY EITHER RUN AN "A" & "B" TRAIN OF THE SAME TRAIN NUMBER ON THE SCHEDULED REGULARS.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THEIR REVEALING ACTIONS WHEN THEY ACHIEVE YET ANOTHER GROWTH LEAP.

WE HAVE SEEN THE LATEST PAINT SCHEME, NEW SWITCHERS, PRESENCE IN PORT HURON, TRACKAGE ALL THE WAY TO WAYNE COUNTY DETROIT, A QUISITION OF BIG AC-70'S AND HAVE REBUILT THE YARDS, DEVELOPED TEAM TRACKS FOR CUSTOMERS WHO NEEDED RAIL SERVICE THAT HAD NO TRACKS COULD RECEIVE AND SHIP.

THE LIST GOES ON REBUILDING FORMER MCRR, NYC/PC, D&M AND PM TRACKAGE THAT SOME OF IT HASNT SEEN MAINTENANCE IN 50YRS.

FOR RAILFAINS THEIR HARD WORK HAS BEEN AN EXCITING SHOW TO WATCH. TAKES MAKING IT BETTER THAN WHEN YOU GOT IT TO THE TENTH DEGREE.

MAYBE WE COULD PLAN A TIME TO END UP AT THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME AT CARPENTER OR COLDWATER ROADS.
