76 Miles |
Description: |
A few miles north of Oakley, 1225 creeps up to the marker at Milepost 76 (From Jackson, Michigan). Once upon a time, the St. Charles branch was part of the New York Central's mainline between Jackson and Saginaw. Today, only the segments between Jackson and Lansing (now the NS Lansing Secondary) and this segment between Owosso and Fergus exist. The sections between Fergus and Paines Junction, near Saginaw, and from Owosso to Lansing were torn up in the late 1970s. |

Finally approaching the fairgrounds, 1225 slugs along past MP 77 at a mere 5 Miles Per Hour. Since this photo was taken, the track has been upgraded to the point where it can once again handle speeds of 10 MPH, but it will likely never see any higher speeds ever again. |

GLC 385 Departing south |
Description: |
After hooking up to the rear of the NPE, 385 leads the train south and begins its return to Owosso. While I have chased and ridden these excursions for all four years that they have ran, this was the first time that I followed the train both north AND south. Had I not been carpooling with my friend Mike Tabone, these pictures would probably not exist. I'm glad they do though! |
