NSRR "RAIL"train on the Grand Elk RR
Author: Conrail7695

0945 this morning a NS RAIL TRAIN rolled threw Three rivers, Michigan north on the Kalamazoo branch. Took the siding north at CP-Cowling and Grand Elk crew got off at CP-Park. so now its sitting at CP-Park with no crew and power lines being put up in the area..so be careful.

LBFX is likely L.B. Foster Co, big dealer in track materials new and used.

Just taking a guess here, but might this be a train of CWR for the upcoming rehab of Michigan DOT's newly-purchased, someday-high-speed railroad between Kzoo and Dearborn?

I agree with the same idea,but we are both wrong. Just talked to my buddy running the switch job here on the Grand Elk and that train was ordered for it final destation for Grand Rapids,Mi.for CSX. Sounds like they"ll drop it in there yard in GR and CSX will come and get it?
