A Conrail train rolled north through Portage, Michigan between 4 P.M. and 6 P.M. almost every day in the 1990's. Of the trains that I saw, There were rarely ever the same tank cars and ACF Center Flow Hoppers repeated. There was always a different roadname or paint scheme on the variety of tank cars. The Auto Parts Boxcars were always the same group of Conrail Auto Parts Boxcars making the same trip to and from Grand Rapids. <br /> <br />The motive power heading to the Grand Rapids, MI Yard was mostly Conrail. Occasionally a Union Pacific or Burlington Northern set of units would move north. <br /> <br />There were rare but large groups of maintenance of way cars painted mostly in light gray heading north to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. In Kalamazoo there were a few MOW Gondolas painted in Bright Yellow. <br /> <br />Inside the Kalamazoo Yard during the 1990's was one constant sight: The PC ACF 2-Bay Sand Hopper. <br /> <br />Andrew Falconer
