Jimmy, this pic is at Bruce Junction, the tracks have been removed from Coffeeville all the way to Bruce. The sand bars up and down the creek make a heck of a place to camp for the weekend.

After reading all the commits I knew where it was. I went to google earth for a look. Grenada would have to be flooding before a good kayak trip down Turkey creek from 330.
IC/ICGRR use to service E L Bruce when I first started working there. They sold the line to Skuna Valley RR and a senior machinist went to work for them. B P Entp. reworked the roadbed years ago. More lumber started to be shipped by truck than rail. As a kid I would count 15 to 20 carloads leave Bruce on a train. The last train I saw had 2 carloads.

Yeah, there is something brewing here right now as far as RR is concerned. The tracks between Grenada and Coffeeville have been cleared and cleaned up. They move over 300 box cars up to Coffeeville in the last week, maybe just for storage, I don't know.

Yep, they have cleared the tracks from Grenada to Winona and now have several box cars sitting there.

Grenada RR is getting a lot of cars for storage from CNRR. Talking to someone that works for them said every siding is being filled with storage cars.
Cars have a 30, 40, 50 year contract before they have to be scraped or an almost complete rebuild. Might be waiting for scrap prices to go up.
South of Coldwater there are 15 to 20 tankers stored all the time. Murphy (Delta Refinery) will swap them out when needed. I was told it was No. 2 diesel.

They spawn that far up? Wow

We do too but there are always some that will run up a creek just as far as they can, they will run upstream after a rain when the creek is hi and then be trapped in the holes, happens every year and some years there just aint anywhere else to be but up a ditch or creek or river.
