Lake State Railway Saginaw to Highland April 6, 2024

In part 2 we chase the Wixom-bound 90 car grain train 60 miles across the Saginaw Subdivision. The pair of SD50-3 locomotives smoke it up along the route as they pull the long hopper train from town to town.

It's definitely a marvelous freight train coverage !! Greetings from India.

Wonderful 👍👍👍Andreas👨‍✈😄😄

I'm impressed how many times you caught them. That looks a little faster than the Huron Sub. Very clever angle at Grand Blanc.

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

Thanks! South of Flint the, specifically Holly, the catches get much more difficult considering the web of roads, traffic, and speed of the train. Glad you enjoyed the GB shot. I wanted to launch the drone but didn’t have time because I got distracted by a dog that was in desperate need of pettins’. 😂

Wow! The surround sound continues to shock me as nothing else I watch on KZbin has surround sound.

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

I record all of my current stuff in 5.1 Surround. It sounds really nice with headphones or a decent sound system.😊

Great job! Very well done..felt like an early 60s travelog. Is there a time frame for the activities in Holly???

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

Thanks Steven! I appreciate it. I’m not sure about the Holly time frame, but the recently removed trees implies sooner rather than later for the depot relocation. As for for the diamond and track work, that’s anyone’s guess considering the pace at which most railroads do things.

Another great video Todd. Are we going to see the remainder of the trip to Wixom? I hadn't heard about the Holly depot being movrd and the diamond being redone. I'm assuming it's the LSRC portion of the diamond that will redone as the CN is a straight shot through Holly. Any idea when this all is slated to begin? Looking forward to your next video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe out there.

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

Thank you!! Yes, the remainder of the Wixom trip will come eventually, but in multiple outtings. It’s difficult to get multiple shots down there given the speed of the train. Plus, I’d like a few more shots for the in-progress Saginaw Subdivision video. Thanks for taking the time!!

Never heard of Highland.

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

Just north of Milford. Not much for shots there besides the highway overpass.

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

Difficult to answer without writing a novel. To put it shortly, they run Monday through Friday on the primary subs.
