Chasing the Lake State Railway from Saginaw to Flint ft. CN & HESR in Durand 1-2-20 

Early on the 2nd day of 2020, Duncan from Michigan Rail Productions and I drove up to Saginaw, Michigan to see some shortline railroad action. After scoping out Lake State's headquarters from a convenient pedestrian bridge, we began chasing Z126. We caught the train leaving the yard in Saginaw, in Bridgeport, Birch Run, Clio, and Flint. At the Flint yard, our train hid itself at the unaccessible north end. There were two other trains moving around the yard. After an hour long standoff, LSRC northbound Y110 with a great lashup made a move. Later on, CSX D711 assembled a tanker train bound for Port Huron. Since Z126 remained silent, we gave up and left for Durand. We just barely caught L514 and saw L501 crossing the diamond from a mile away. Huron and Eastern's Bay City train arrived a few hours late and L500 ended the day for us. I have yet to fix my camera after the incident a couple weeks ago, so you may notice some shakiness. The wind didn't help. Special thanks to Duncan for navigating and providing all the info. Enjoy the video y'all
