Thanks KC.

There is a lot of interest in this new development, your and others updates are greatly appreciated.

Southbound 116 by Linden at 12:20pm with a BIG train - Racks then stacks lead by GTW 8952!!

He will be missed. I often wondered if he ever got caught - the risk sure is high riding the rails - my assumption is straight to jail if caught (no warnings)! Of course, the physical risk exists as well - always being around moving equipment and railcars and such, but if he was going to do it anywa...

Thanks guys for the updates, keep us informed!

It is exciting to hear about a new siding in Traverse City!

Yes, I believe this is an April Fools joke.

"Michigan" voted - who voted exactly? When and where did they vote? Where is the news release/link to such a vote? Where is the cited quote coming from? Etc., etc.

Too many questions in my mind to be something credible lol.

Thanks for the clarification TC Man.

I thought I would sit back and wait until someone provided additional information directly from a reputable source, and it would seem that a GLC employee would be in the know relating to this most recent development. The bottom line here (and I think we can all agree) is that additional rail service...

Another Southbound following that 280-type train.

Southbound 508 with a decent sized train with 2 CNs clear Linden at 6:33pm.

A Southbound 280-type train just cleared Linden at 6:10pm with 2 CNs and all autoracks. Sorry no car count.

This is the first Southbound all autorack train I've seen in a while.

NB S756 by me here in Linden at 7:50pm.

In the last 2 hours, we've had Southbound 508, then Northbound 507, and now Northbound S756.

Not that anyone probably cares, but regarding my comment from earlier today, of course that was train 116 - duh (on my part).

I have no idea why I thought it may have been an extra.

Speaking of Extras...Southbound Intermodal train by Linden at 10:48am. Not sure if this is a very early 508 or what? Not even sure if the whole train was intermodal, but what I saw of it, it was. Sorry, I'm not much help on this one.

Mike H, Mike H , he’s our man, if he can’t do it no one can!!

I think I may have dated myself with that catchy little tune.

I didn't know the "Port of Monroe" was really a thing. According to googlemaps, there are a bunch of tank cars next to the Michigan Paving and Materials place and tracks into the Ford warehouse. I don't see where a container facility will be built but according to the article, it appears one will be...

With all this talk of Waffles and French Fries, you guys are making me hungry!

Can't eat all those carbs like I used to though.

Just like I said...the amazing Mike H!!

Of course we realize the word "potential" is being used here, but let's hope the new business materializes and CN buys in.

When was the last time Baraga actually had a rail served customer? I have always wondered about that.

By the way, go get ‘em Mike H (regarding transload opportunities - if anyone can, it’s Mike H!!)

Sorry I don't have an answer to the original question, but this weather is nuts, even by Michigan standards.

Was ready to turn on the A/C yesterday as house was 74 degrees and humid inside, and as I type this I'm wearing my slippers.

That S756 must have been the train I heard around 5:30 this morning as this is not a "normal" time for a train thru Linden, although, of course, any train can run at any time.

Southbound 508 by Linden at 5:25pm with 2 CNs and 76 cars. Today's train had a good mix of cars. First 3 cars were intermodal, followed by 3 - 86' boxcars, which was kinda cool to see since you don't really see a whole lot of those cars anymore. (NS 18K and 19K thru Elkhart always have several 86 fo...
