awsome

I just saw a similar site yesterday on a train headed towards Battle Creek, MI with a CN DASH 9, IC SD70, and Tomahawk Switcher.

Oh really? What was the number on the TR SW? Number 83 is the last one left in TR Blue, it'd be s shame if G&W paints it to their orange scheme.

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

It was TR 1583.

The uploading of the HD video from yesterday should be done by the end of today.

[JR7582]

Looks like the G&W renumbered the SWs. That's too bad... :-(

[AndrewNeilFalconer]

Looking closely in the full screen mode, the 15 appears to be applied with a spray can, while the 38 appears original.

I saw a train years ago in Tomahawk heading down to Wausau. If I recall it had 4 WC locos (I think GP-38's, not sure) and 99 freight cars. Do they pick up more freight once they hit Merrill?

[JR7582]

Could of been GP38-2s, GP35s, GP30s, or GP40. They barley pick up any in Merrill, or Brokaw. Just like one or two. Most of it comes out of the North Woods. I've seen traisn that where 115 cars comming from the North.

@JR7582 I know there is a customer in brokaw but I had no idea there had been a customer in merrill. is the customer located on that second track that is less than a mile which would cut off from the main line in merrill and hit that grain elevator or whatever it is or is it that scrap yard or whatever adjacent to the siding track I mentioned because I know the branch line that would head south of the main with those warehouses are abandoned I believe.

If you can and get a chance, get a full video of the train headed south to Wausau. :)

[JR7582]

Alright, just to let ya know they can get up to 100+ cars, but they can also shrink to about 10-15 cars. It varies.

Very nice....That TR unit is a Bad Order and its going to BUFFALO NY...Very nice catch :)

[JR7582]

Thanks, I hope to get her tommrow before they leave.

[VespineVid2]

Nice catch!

[JR7582]

Thanks! I've only caught the TR once. They are very hard to get. You need to know exactly when they come out to get them.
