This month was also the delivery of two new units for the MCIS. Both units were spotted showing off for employees outside the Bay City Division Offices. Paintshop work orders are in the works and should be off to Fogelsinger Rail sometime in May or June for their coats of blue and yellow.

Bay Yard Update #2

The month of March has been really busy between military trips, vacation, a wedding, and of course work. But I did find some time in the schedule to make continual progress on Bay Yard. The pictures posted were taken from the 10th Avenue Bridge that crosses over the main and east yard ladder lead between Bay Yard and Chessie Junction. The third picture is taken from light pole in Bay Yard.
