@@MikeG42 Thanks! I can’t learn enough about ops up there. Glad the Autoracks made it to Grayling.

​@@toddfeldpausch9489You're welcome

@@train_chicken6143 Jon got some nice shots on his chase of the autoracks!!

@@markgawrych5579 Thanks Mark!! Drones are a railfan game-changer. Too bad all of downtown Grayling is a No Fly Zone due to the army base.

@@kylercorbat3926 probably not for a long time. I spent 5 years documenting the entire GLC system, including the Yuma line. Though if they start shipping sand again with the three SD35’s, like they are rumored to, I might come back.

@@user-mr3ct1dm9p Yep. LSRC & HESR put the yard to good use.

@@user-mr3ct1dm9p That is indeed the same bridge. 😊

Northern Energy still receives a few tank cars a year down town. Would be nice to see some more traffic up there.

Definitely! There is a lot happening in Grayling & Gaylord. That is precisely why I chose to model the area. 😊 Thanks for commenting!!

​@@toddfeldpausch9489Yes, and LSRC did a damn good job in re- stenciling and lettering those ex NS units, to LSRC.

@@andreasforster7757 Thank you for the feedback!! While there are still some scenes to document from that region, a Mackinaw Subdivision Volume 2 video is in production, complete with maps and mileposts along the route.

@@billtaylor6502 Thanks man! There’s more super cool Gaylord ops coming.

Yes, correct!!

Excellent video,and drone work!!

@@andreasforster7757 The A&L track is a 2.5 mile spur, or branch line, that comes off the main line in Gaylord. All of Gaylord business is on the short branch line. It gets its name from A&L Iron and Metal scrap yard located at the very end of the branch at mile 2.55.

@@andreasforster7757 Thank you!!! This is a fun operation to film. Stay tuned for more LSRC operations in Gaylord. The next video includes drone shots of a train working at Tri-State Forest Products, and another look at the Gaylord transload facility..

Your kind words are very much appreciated. Thank you! This area is so beautiful and easy to fall in love with. In fact, not long after I begin exploring operations in Grayling and Gaylord it became clear that I needed to model the region. Which I am happily beginning now. So, the task of gathering as much info and rolling stock roster photos as possible is under way. Thanks again for taking the time to watch & comment!! I have another chase video from up there coming this week.

​@@toddfeldpausch9489You're welcome and thank you also. I hope you can show us pictures or video when you have your layout completed.

Thanks! They tend to go to Gaylord Tuesday and Thursday. I’d say be trackside in grayling between 3-5 and you’ll likely see it. The depot is a good place to hang out. Good luck!

Danke Andreas. Ich bin so froh, dass Ihnen die Show gefallen hat. Mein Plan ist es, in den kommenden Monaten noch viel mehr dort oben zu machen und ein richtiges Video zusammenzustellen, das so viel wie möglich zwischen Grayling und Gaylord dokumentiert. Nochmals vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Ihr Feedback.😊😊❤️

Thanks Miles!! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Hopefully there will be a lot more coverage of operations up there throughout the summer.

Thank you!

Those are NFZ’s. 99% of “no trespassing” warnings are there for outsiders physical safety so they do not wander onto private property and get injured. It’s cheaper for a business to throw law enforcement and the courts at trespassers than to be sued by them. Though I am still very selective what I show the public when I’m filming the railroad, workers, and businesses served.

You’re welcome Robert! Stay tuned. There is another one coming Friday (7pm) that I feel is a beautiful, and more thorough, compliment to this one.

Thanks Mark! They sure do. Stay tuned, work is progressing on 2 more videos from up there with hopefully more after that. There’s still a good deal of areas I’d like to film on that portion of the mackinaw subdivision.😉

Weird response.. with your love? Really??

Thank you for the kind words Andreas! Expect more videos covering operations and trains in the Grayling and Gaylord areas. A friend and I just shot some beautiful, rarely seen operations footage.

Not at all, that I’m aware of. For all I intents and purposes, the A&L spur is the operational end of the line. In fact, the switch at the main is always locked & lined onto the A&L spur.

Thanks for the quick reply. I wonder why they didn't leave those 6 gons on that passing track under I-75, rather than take them all the way to Gaylord and back??

@@user-mr3ct1dm9p you’re welcome. They often set out the Stella Jones high side & bathtub gons in the siding near the grayling depot between the golf course and Au Sable River. I think it all depends on train lengths going north AND south if they take them north or drop them for later pick up in grayling. Setting them out in grayling is two extra moves so it makes more sense to take them along.

They run regularly Tues & Thurs. On duty at 3:00pm at 4 Mile Rd. Power is kept south/east of the Xing beside SRM. Keep the scanner handy, sometimes they’ll go straight north, sometimes they’ll work the far end of the yard, sometimes they’ll set out the Stella Jones empties by the grayling depot. It varies. Typically go north between 3-5pm

@@toddfeldpausch9489 Thank you for the info, I take it everything north of Grayling is all 25mph? I thought in an old video I saw the Gaylord job could get up to 30-40mph but that was awhile ago so not sure if anything changed.

@@HuronRailProductions speeds are 20 mph from the west end of the yard to just north of Grayling where the tracks begin to parallel Old 27, then 25 mph to just south of the AL spur, and 10 mph on the spur.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it! Stay tuned, I have some beautiful drone footage of them working some of the Grayling industries.

Typically Tuesdays and Thursdays, but not always. This week they ran Wednesday and Thursday.

Thanks so much for the input I appreciate it!! It definitely would be fun to ride the rails up there.

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’. 😂

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

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!!

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.

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

@@toddfeldpausch9489 South Clyde is a nice shot in Highland

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

@@toddfeldpausch9489 ok post something about it at some point, and your channel is one of my favorite's

Than you Andreas! When I get more footage from the Paines Subdivision I’ll do a proper video that includes maps.

Thank you! Yes, same crew. They only made a 10 minute stop in Saginaw to cut those last three cars then highballed outta there. The Saginaw Sub luck is better, faster, and even has a couple drone shots. I’m still editing those in. Thanks for watching!
