LSRC Z120-16 - Mt Morris CSXT 451 leads a train of windmill blades northbound on the LSRC Saginaw Sub. The train will be handed to HESR in Saginaw Yard where they'll use their own power and take the blades east on the Bad Axe Sub to be unloaded at the Sebewang Stone Quarry.
HESR 702-16 - Flushing HESR 3484 leads the 702 Southbound heading for Durand passing the former GTW Station in Flushing.
Y119-04 - Willard Rd
HESR 3867 - Durand Before I began building the CN Interchange for the night, I took a moment to shoot one of the last RailAmerica painted engines around. While it's image is patched and chipping by the day, you are still able to see a little bit of the motor's history in different spots. From CRIP Blue, P&LE Yellow, the Red RailAmerica, to now the Red, White, & Blue. It was recently confirmed that the last 3 RailAmerica motors we have will be getting repainted into the G&W Paint. Before they get dipped, the HESR 2028 will lead the way first after an emissions rebuild. I'm not sure if the RA's are getting such rebuild treatment, but at the very least an RV A/C unit is getting installed on each one before painting. The 2028 should be orange before the end of the year, and depending how quickly they do it, the last 3 RA painted motors will also become just a memory.
