Huron & Eastern Rail

Still waiting for the boats to return to the Saginaw River after their winter rest, but the trains are busy around here, and I have been trying to take advantage of that.

At the Euclid Ave Yard, HESR 2668, 2661 and a smaller Rail America Engine prepare to depart.

At the Huron & Eastern Yard, an old Wiregrass Central RR unit sits waiting for action.

Those are old Union Pacific engines.

Yep, too bad they still don't have the old U-Pac lettering on the sides of them......

Following the boats of the Saginaw River and Great Lakes

Here is a little background on my history with the boats: I have been an avid photographer and follower of the big lake freighters that carry their cargoes between the ports of the Great Lakes. During that time, a number of my photos have been used by various shipping companies and in publications from the U.S. Coast Guard, Lake Carriers Association, the Marine Legal Review, and in the annual boatwatchers bible, "Know Your Ships". I also report news and vessel passage information from the Saginaw River to both Boatnerd.com and to the local newspaper, The Bay City Times, and have been fortunate enough to have had the honor of being aboard and taking a trip on a Great Lakes Freighter. I am also a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner, Captain and deckhand for the Bay City Boat Lines, and a Deckhand for Malcom Marine, Inc.

In this blog, you will see information on the vessels that ply the waters of the Saginaw River, photos, and vessel passage information. I hope that you will enjoy what is posted here.
