Sunrise on the Jackson & Lansing
Owned by the Adrian & Blissfield Railroad, the Jackson & Lansing (JAIL) is a shortline running about 50 miles from Jackson to Lansing, MI. Operating a leased NS branch line, they interchange with NS at Jackson and CN & CSX at Lansing.
The railroad's headquarters and shop are located at Mason, less than 15 miles south of Lansing. Here, a northbound train is staged in Mason with one of the recently repainted Adrian & Blissfield locomotives (JAIL doesn't own any engines themselves). ADBF 822 is actually a native Michigander, having started life for the Detroit, Toledo, & Ironton as DTI 410.
