- Lake State Railway is a Class III shortline railroad that operates multiple routes in the lower peninsula of Michigan. Most recently, it acquired CSX Transportation's Flint Subdivision and Canadian National's Port Huron Subdivision. This video covers these two lines in 2020 and 2021, showcasing the railroad's infrastructure, motive power, and customers.

Sad to see the McGrew Yard offices all boarded up and the yard itself being used as storage. I remember when my Dad worked there and picking up his paycheck and mail from the old mailboxes and getting dinner at The Stables. My Dad worked for C&O for 40 years out of McGrew, Maple Road, Grand Blanc and for a time out of Wixom, when the plants started shutting down or cutting back in the '70s.
I just love shortlines and regional railroads. They provide so much unique motive power
This is a very interesting railroad, thank you so much for the wonderful footage 😊
Many thanks!
My old stomping grounds!!! Lived near the line just off richfield rd 😊😊😊 worked at a restaurant on Dort highway between carpenter and Coldwater rd !!😅😅😅😅😅😅
That is a very beautiful locomotive paint scheme. Great drone shots of the paper plant. Very cool bridge shot.
Your video work is so nice with the inclusion of drone footage.
Thanks.
We have a look at Lake State Railway operating a former CSX line. Catching switching operations, train chases on the Lake State Railway. They have a unique color job. Keep this up, we want to see more.
Thank you for this video of Lake States Railway's Flint and Port Huron Subdivision, Drayton! I found this video entertaining and informative. Hopefully, some other industries that will require rail service will take over the plants that closed in Port Huron, Michigan.
Thanks for watching, Thomas! I always appreciate your kind commentary. Folks like you are why I do what I do! Have a great week.
Another great video! 🚂
love your short "documentaries" !!
Excellent.
Very Nice 👍🏻, Thank You 😊
Sometimes BNSF coal trains can still be seen barreling north, up the line.
Great paint scheme.
Need the conductors special from hornblasters on that caboose
Excellent!
Very nice presentation and information DIB Productions
Great video!
Good to see that someone made a video about Lake State Railroad Flint sub, now I know to put Atwood Junction in my titles when I catch them there. If only I could listen to them on a scanner have not found the right channel yet.
Wow !!! this vid is really great. I have always wondered where these trains go to and has been a mystery. Thank you for revealing this to me. I would love to see more of this.
My favorite railroad
perfect work.thanks for this entertainment.
Good video
Cool to see an SRY car on the last train, never knew that a car from Southern Railway of British Columbia would be out that far
Railcars go anywhere.
Locomotives sometimes get lended over to other railroads, of which the railroad will get back. However, railcars are destined to ride whatever rails they're carried on, they aren't bound to their home tracks.
Huge section of land there used to be railroad
Excellent video. I think the MP15 is now my favorite vintage loco, at least among those that can be somewhat commonly found in use. Although I’ve heard they are rough-riding at speed, so the multi-purpose designation is a bit of a stretch. As the paper industry continues to evolve rapidly, Dunn Paper has been renamed BiOrigin Specialty Products. Apparently the Menominee Michigan mill will remain open as upgrades have been made to the machinery.
If I owned a railroad, I'd paint my engines fancy like these.
Just curious if there was any railroad personnel that didn't like the use of a drone to fly near the trains in operation?
The only reason I ask is because I also have a drone and want to do similar videos or photos with my drone.
The caboose toots lol
Loco and all the rolling stock are gone and the bridge over the Black River is in the up position.
🍃🌴🇮🇳🌴🍃
Nice
I lived in Wixom.
Are you guys using the dji inspire drone?
I would love to model this line.
Negative, DJI Air 2S.
@@DelayInBlockProductions Have the Air2s, it's amazing for it's size and weight. Excellent stability in some high winds. Nice video work.
Was Dunn a union plant? Probably why.
How many gallons of fuel are in those tanks?
Does homeboy work for Amtrak too😂
Was this railroad called the tuscola and Saginaw bay before
No sir, that’s the Great Lakes Central you’re thinking of.
@@DelayInBlockProductionsWhat was #3280 and #3381 for?😂
@@DelayInBlockProductions😂😅Where did they get #3280 out of the deal?!
Watching the locomotives and cars shake tell me how shitty the
rail is on this line.
Before the CN Railroad destroyed all it's Short Line's they bought. In Durand you had the GTW Railroad and The Awesome DT&I Railroad at one time all met there and did switching Car's with each other. SAD!!!! Both are now gone BUT the GTW got it's Karma for what they did to The DT&I Railroad. CN Railroad did the samething to the GTW Railroad Karma is a Bitch sometimes.
Dunn paper will never reopen , prime real estate for condos..😒
That right of way serviced the Grand Trunk shops that was located on the point until the shops burned down many years ago.
what a fool the sd 40 and sd 50 did not have to work hard that is over 1 horse power per ton. that is a lot of power. i see the CSX move 6000 tons with 1 sd 40
I am sure Governor Whitmer celebrated the closing of the companies with champagne. Her administration continues to be very anti business.
About 100 good paying jobs lost.
Fellow Michiganian here. I couldn't agree more!
Joe Biden is doing a wonderful job🙄
