Description: |
Heading north past the signals for Fuller diamond, the crossing with the Grand Rapids Eastern (ex GTW). To the right of 2008, just out of sight, is the bridge that carried the Pennsy (GR&I) over the creek. The PRR and PM paralelled each other north out of Grand Rapids until Comstock Park, where the Pennsy swung east across the PM and went towards Cadillac. Fuller Jct was once a busy place with PM (later C&O), PRR (later PC then CR) and GTW trains all passing through, and still sees around 4 trains a day. |

Description: |
CSX GP40-2 6954 provides power from it's engine for 2354 (rebuilt from GP40 RCPHG4 drone 9121, which was in Chessie paint as of 2008), which is engineless but still has traction motors. This way, you basically get the power of 2 locomotives but the fuel costs of 1. Y106 in Alto, MI. |
