Battle Creek St. Pattys Day
My nephew Thad and I snuck off for an afternoon of picture taking in the old Grand Trunk city home to Kelloggs--Battle Creek, Michigan. At one time NYC and GTW trains crossed here, but GTW was the big player with a major yard and shops. Today, with a much smaller scale operation, CN still has a yard and a mainline fuel pad. NS and Amtrak share CN trackage through town now. And foreign power is the rule of the day on road trains, as you'll see.
