Viewing Album:  Adrian and Blissfield RR!
 
By:Robert Jackson
Dates:4/13/1997 - 4/16/2024
Album Info:I have seen Adrian and Blissfield RR a few times over the years! The first time was the famous "Murder Mystery Dinner Train" in April 1997! This was awesome with High Hood GP9s (my favorite)! This railroad kept using GP9s and purchased four ex New Hampshire Northcoast RR GP9s in 2005. The railroad was purchased by Chris Bagwell, formerly of Great Lakes Central, in 2021! He has gotten rid of a lot of "Classic" rolling stock that was stored at Blissfield! Now (2024) is when he is replacing the GP9s with GP40s ! The subsidiary Jackson and Lansing RR (JAIL) already had some newer EMD units, but retained GP9s! Now both lines are retiring them! I will document ADBF soon and will upload pictures as time permits! ©Copyright Robert Jackson Photography®
