Thanks for the great street running video in Alpena! Glad to see the train that left Saginaw Friday finally made it up there!

[@HuronRailProductions]

Thanks, yeah they’ve had some bad luck recently with delays the southbound today actually derailed while leaving the yard I’ll have a video up shortly on that

Awesome catch of the LSRC GEEPS pulling a HEFTY 77 car consist down the street! STREET RUNNING TRAINS are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE to see and found out where I want my vacation home to be! Now let's see how long those nice Rock Cars go b4 having Graffiti and Tags on them! Thanks again for sharing this video with us along with your time and effort!

[@HuronRailProductions]

Thank you and I’m sure it won’t be long till they have graffiti

[@MikeG42]

That is a great view of the train coming towards the camera. Nice location too. Excellent video MRP.

[@HuronRailProductions]

Thank you, if a northbound ever comes in daylight I’ll have to go back here.

[@MikeG42]

@@HuronRailProductions You're welcome.

The new yellow hoppers are set up for ballast service. Look at the doors compared to the earlier cars that have regular hopper doors. Nice vid. Be safe out there.

[@HuronRailProductions]

Thank you, I noticed that as well I wonder if they will be used more for maintenance then normal service

[@toddfeldpausch9489]

I love that shot!!
It occurs to me those yellow cars may be ballast hoppers. Could you see if they were loaded with with limestone outbound?

[@HuronRailProductions]

I was thinking the same thing maybe perhaps they’ll be used mostly for maintenance? And it didn’t look like they were going to be loaded anytime today. They were put in the yard and that’s where they still are as of now. Probably will sit there for awhile cause of the derailment

Nice horns coming in down the street. I did a bit of looking and I'm pretty sure those cars came from the Louisville & Indiana LIRC RR. There are some stills of them and the color and type fonts are the same. They could be used either for MOW or haulage we'll see what happens. I'm not sure what the reference is to AAA Environmental Services and their phone # which cleans tank cars in AL and mobile sites in other states none close to you. That marking was not on @ LIRC. Did car 5 have an alarm clock windup?

Heres a Jaw Tooth video of them on their former railroad it looks as if your correct on which company they ran for.

[@tzrr-nsnyswmodellingmore2821]

super cool! I don't even know where the nearest street running train section is besides way over in Utica.

[@HuronRailProductions]

They aren’t too common anymore that’s for sure

[@svtrains4773]

Nice!

[@KalamazooAreaRailfan]

STREET RUNNING TRAIN!!!!!!!

[@midmichiganemdrailfan.4187]

Cool video

[@HuronRailProductions]

Thanks

[@anthonylabarge4331]

Those are ballast cars

[@HuronRailProductions]

Seems LSRC likes them a lot for ballast drops according to one of their newsletters. I believe the chutes open by air which makes things easier
