Re: GLC Train Location Updates - April 2024

I can see the GP35 being pushed down to Yard jobs or small local trains (Cadillac-Mcbain, any trains north of Cadillac, Ashley to Middleton, etc), with how many times these engines have been on the sidel...

Re: MDOT/GLC Manistee Bridge gets federal funding

Hopefully this bridge remodel will allow 1225 to go north to Petoskey and TC, and what I heard, more shipments could go north as well, so the possibility of new customers on the line. Sounds like a good next couple of years for business in Northern Michigan :D

Crazy how quickly that sells out. Me thinks they might want to start a couple mid-week runs if they can manage it, or...
