Waiting for cold and snow, its monday at 11 and now 40 degrees out there. Hopefully things are going to turn around the next couple of days. So you know the routine as trails are still the same so I am going back to the railroad info, here is a link to the tv news story and then I am posting a different story that Ken sent me but it is about the railroad too. I guess best thing I can say is tell anyone you know that rides about this. Railroad MSP story

OTSEGO COUNTY, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) — Michigan State Police are reminding the public that trespassing on railroad property is illegal and dangerous after a snowmobile driver crashed, causing a ski to lodge under the railroad tracks in Bagley Township

Troopers said the crash occurred near North Otsego Avenue.

The two snowmobile operators were arrested for OWI with additional charges of railroad trespassing and failing to report a snowmobile crash, troopers said.

The snowmobile was freed after several hours of work by a wrecker company, troopers said, and an inspection of the tracks will be completed by Lake State Railway for damage. Thanks for checking in. The tracked vehicle below was here yesterday and he works for the oil wells and it is his work vehicle….

Wow a whole inch of new snow overnight. As I figured sled traffic yesterday was a repeat of last weekend. Still riders saying it was better than they thought it would be but still riders who said it was rough as can be…… but hey at least they were riding. Forcast shows us getting some new snow this week which might bring it around better by next weekend. Time will tell.

I see many people commenting about the enforcement of the rails and how they wont come around here…..its simple, learn the law and then stay the heck away from the tracks. Its not just Frederic its statewide law and probably nationwide with the railroads. I know its very confusing as many railroad grade trails are now trails and many people think the railway here in Frederic is not a working railroad but trains go thru here everyday……I have tried to warn people for years about staying from the tracks and I wish the state would somehow make people more aware when they do register their sleds. Thats about all I can say about this for now. Most people never even know they are doing anything wrong…….

That’s about it for today. Thanks for checking in. Pete
