Freight rolls



Increasingly violent protests by the settlers have pushed the managment of the Port Huron and Northern Railroad to complete trackage connecting communities in St Clair county and Sanilac county, Michigan. This will tie the area in with cities to the south such as Detroit, Toledo, Chicago and beyond. More beneficial will be the ability to transfer goods around Michigan. From its many "lake" ports and bays to the thriving communities. The settlers are not acclimating well to a sustenance of extruded foam and upside down ceiling tiles. They want action!
A single track main line with provisions for future growth has been completed. Test articles where run through the route and repeatedly over the makeshift trestle.
Upon completion of tests and saftey inspections, limited freight service has begun. This mainly is to provide the materials( both raw and finished) to various worksites along the Right of Way.
The Brass Hat of the PH&N was quoted " SOON there will be a TWO TRACK MAINLINE, and service to the Mountainside community.!"
He added " The trackwork in our yards need to be completed and the massive engine facility too."
the Railroad will depict scenes from the 30's to nearly Present.
Some days Steam and war loads. Some days Diesels and intermodals.
Passenger service has yet to commence as most of the units are still in storage.
The T-pins in the pic are left over from the last strike. They held anti-union signs and were left intact for now by the Management.

Will the PH&N be tying in with the Emmett Express? I can hear it from here.

Mountains? Waddaya mean? Pine Knob?

Anxiously awaiting new developments!

I like what you're doing here. I wish I could be as fast, or have the range of imagination.

I used to love those HO scale trains. Is that what they're proposing to run in place of the 26-ton monsters now?

MargeinMi, I am sure the Emmett Express along with the Galloping Goodells will have trackage rights. They wake me up everyday to ask.
Possum, thanks for the support!
kajun, My wife, the venerable Mrs. Gone is from Escanaba. The honeymoon was one heck of a canoe trip!

My honeymoon was in da UP. Went to Drummand Island, SSM, Taquonamon Falls (sp?), drove through Paradise (just so we could say we'd been there ;o)).

It was the 2nd week of October, 1984. Tigers were playing the World Series, and the colors were breathtaking!

Of course we forgot the camera. :o(
