CSX 7005 |
| Description: |
CSX train R334-10 (Grand Rapids-Walbridge) with an ex-Louisville & Nashville C30-7 up front is eastbound approachinng the Chubb Road crossing in Salem, Michigan at around 3:30 pm. This photo location was one of last resort for eastbounds as I could get to it at very short notice from my house, about a minute away.. My preference is to have some kind of physical structure or natural feature to provide definition, and evidence, of a given location, But to catch a C30-7 leader Ill take the featurless mainline. He would have beat me to the hamlet of Salem had I tried to catch him there. The Red Wing blackbirds songs filled the air on this afternoon, heralding the coming of Spring.. |

SOO 6620, CP 4205 |
| Description: |
CP runthrough R202 (Schiller Park-Montréal) is eastbound at milepost CH 32.3 on the CSX Plymouth Subdivision Seven Mile Road Curve, Salem MI, Time: 14:03, Date: 2/9/95. Back in the good old days of 1994 and 95, CP was running White SOO units and Alcos and a grimy rainbow of lease units; rarely was a consist all of one paint scheme. I was determined to record as many as I could, even in crummy light (Kodachrome 200 really came in handy that winter). |

CP 5847 |
| Description: |
CP run-through train X512 (Kansas City-Toronto Agincourt) is eastbound descending Salem Hill, the ruling grade between Detroit and Chicago, through the hamlet of Salem, MI at milepost 31 of the CSX Plymouth Subdivision. CP trains were roughly 50% of traffic on the CSXT Plymouth Subdivision at this time. That would change, however, when CP elected to do business with NS instead on the mid 2000s. I lived just outside of the hamlet from 1994-2002, and so I was treated to all manner of CP and Soo power. As a side note, a pack of coyotes lived about 200 yards from me between my house and the CSX mainline. Come nightfall they would howl back at CP horns when blowing for the Currie Road crossing, but said nary a peep to CSX horns. |

CP 5847 |
| Description: |
Train Symbol CP run through Z511 (Toronto Agincourt -Kansas City) is westbound at milepost CH 30.2 of the CSX Plymouth Subdivision at Salem, MI. Time: 15:30, Date: 2/17/96.: BFI's Salem Landfill, one of the largest in the country, is on the left. The building in the distance is BFI's MRF (Materials Recovery Facility), which collects glass, tin, aluminium, newsprint, and cardboard. In 1995 CSX constructed an industrial spur into the MRF, which ships out bundled cardboard in CSX Waffle Boxcars. This is one of the steepest grades on CSX in the State of Michigan and is the ruling grade between Plymouth and Grand Rapids. Until the advent of CSXT's AC4000CWs, this was a helper district (Plymouth-South Lyon). |

| Description: |
The last rays of early spring sunlight are streaming through the trees as CP run-though X511 (Toronto Agincourt-Kansas City) is howling westbound at Run 8 ascending Salem Hill. He is blowing for the Currie Road crossing at miepost CH 31.5 of the CSX Plymouth Subdivision. The Spring Peepers are already making a racket by this time, temporarily shouted down by the passing of X511. After he has gone west the Peepers will be joined by the evening laughter of Robins. |
