A Surprisingly Active Night on The Lake State Railway Saginaw Sub North! (Santa Train, Y119 & Z145!)
(Featuring @RoyalKingOfTheRails, @southernmichiganrailfan9841, @hornalleyproductions and @GTW5951)
So this video is basically a compilation of bonus catches I've caught during the weekend I was out chasing the LSRC Santa train with the friends I was with (which are both somewhat featured in this video), since after me and my friends caught the first run of the Santa train in Mt. Morris and birch run, we also chased Y119 which had a really nice lashup, and when we went back down to Mt. Morris, we were also surprised with an as-needed Z145 sitting in the Mt. Morris Siding/Yard track, lead by a solo LHF SD50-2! And since this was probably the most trains this portion of the LSRC Saginaw sub has ever seen in a good while, why not upload them? So I guess with that said, I hope y'all enjoy this one
Date & Time: November 29th, 2024 From 8:30 PM To 10:30 PM (Roughly)

    Nice catches. I recently did the NS Danville district in the Salisbury and Linwood areas back in October and funny how you mention Durand. The Danville District really reminded me of the CN Flint Sub in traffic volumes as well. But with just how beautiful and gorgeous North Carolina is, I'd rather be down south than anywhere in the north this time of year lol

    The engineer playing Jingle Bells on the horn reminds me when my uncle was an engineer for Canadian National and would play it on the horn at Christmas time to let my family know he was coming through the neighborhood since the house I grew up in was near the line he worked on, until one of the neighbors was a party pooper and complained to the railroad about my uncle for playing music on the horn as he’d also do Shave and get a Haircut.

      @barefoot3662 Like you said, that is correct in CSX terms, but on NS it could mean approach diverging, which is just the specific name for what the signal aspect means (i.e to diverge onto a crossover or wye at a medium speed), so therefore, it just means the same thing, just a different name. Your correction would be like calling an advance approach aspect (flashing yellow or yellow over yellow) an advance clear to stop, which is what it's called in CN's rulebook
