GTW 4618 crosses Ann Arbor Street
Title:  GTW 4618 crosses Ann Arbor Street
Description:  This train was kind of a surprise. It was an Extra Yard job from Flint (I believe the symbol for this one was Y105, jr something). It's assignment was to deliver some cars from Flint to the Durand Yard, and then run back to Flint. It is pictured here crossing Ann Arbor Street on the High-Wy`, as it proceeds to the Holly Sub. Once again, I wasn't able to get to the crossing in time, so I had to do a zoom shot from the depot. Once it reached the Holly Sub, the 461: pushed the train passed the depot, and deposited its cars in the Durand Yard.

IC 6257 leads an impressive lashup of Power
Title:  IC 6257 leads an impressive lashup of Power
Description:  This train had been waiting at Okemos for Amtrak, and the stack train, to come by. It finally got permission to proceed east onto Single track after waiting nearly 40 minutes. This was quite an impressive (and noisy) power set. They even had a CSX unit on the rear end. That's just plain wierd.

UP 4992 AGAIN!
Title:  UP 4992 AGAIN!
Description:  After arriving in Flint, the 4992, and the Rent-a-wreck were apparently turned around to face west again. They had to wait until the ATSF powered Coal train>had cleared before moving to the Holly Sub. I didn't make it down to#the crossing in time to get a good shot, so this is all I have. Both units were running light, and we found out later that they went all the way to Detroit.
