GTW Depot
Title:  GTW Depot
Description:  As part of a photo session from the previous night, station signs were added to the former GTW Station, now owned and operated by the Owosso Elks club, for the first time in many years. The last time I looked, several months ago, the sign seen here was still on the building, where it will hopefully remain for a while.

CP 8775 on X500
Title:  CP 8775 on X500
Description:  After catching UP 1988 on CN west of Lansing, I was heading back home to East Lansing when I noticed X500 going through downtown. After grappling over where I could shoot the train, I finally settled on Farm Lane. A very good choice seeing that the crossing closed forever several weeks later. CP 8775 leads X500 over the crest of the hill, completing its climb out of the Red Cedar river valley, as it approaches Farm Lane.

X500
Title:  X500
Description:  CP GEVO 8775 leads X500 along Incinerator road as it approaches the Farm Lane crossing on the south side of MSU. This view can no longer be obtained, as shortly after this photo was taken, the crossing was closed for conversion into an underpass. A temporary shoefly now sits where I was standing (or in this case crouching) to get this photo.

CSXT 2429
Title:  CSXT 2429
Description:  One of CSX's rare yard-assigned SD40-2s makes a visit to the Wyoming yard engine house. When I saw the number, I first thought that this might be an SD38, but some quick research by a friend proved otherwise. Oh well, it was still nice to see.

CP 9778 Leading X500
Title:  CP 9778 Leading X500
Description:  After finishing up at the swim meet in Holland, I started to head home when I noticed X500 heading north through town. Jumped on Chicago Drive to give chase and caught up with the train just west of Hudsonville. Paced them a little bit along the siding there, then took advantage of a short recrew to jump ahead of them. With the new crew onboard, 9778 leads the train down the main behind downtown Grandville.
