CM RR. Switching out paper cars at the Grand Rapids Press. May 29, 1992.

I am glad you were able to make a video of this box car switching.

With electronic paper and video displays getting better, there might not be newspapers available anymore.

Hey what industry is (was) that where the brown boxcars were parked? I think it's a Jimmy John's/Apartment building now.

I'm from Grand Rapids. The last hundred yards or so leading up to the wagon shed for the press has been covered with concrete when the road was repaved, but the rest of the spur actually still does exist.

Nice video - it is a shame this is a thing of the past. Gotta wonder..... Thanks for posting this!

Wouldn't this still be GRE?

[ConrailJon]

No Trevor, this is before the GRE was incorporated. This track later became part of GRE.

I regret to tell you the GR Press doesn't get any rail service anymore, period. Another fantastic video!

Too bad, C&M could get that business if they did.
