The dispatching is'nt from Vermont, GLC is dispatched from Wisconsin!!!

The dispatching company was in the works long before GLC hired the new GM!!!

I try to give good and accredited news to people who like railroads, and I get blasted by sub-standard intelligent people, if only some of you morons would just read, but maybe your not smart enough to in-gage in intelligent conversation. Mr. SD80MAC, like someone already mentioned about the siding,...

I seen the blue prints from MDOT, there going to pay a large portion of the siding and GLC is going to try and take out one of the 90lb switches that is not being used by the Good Will and move it down on the west end of the new siding to make it a run-around track. I dont know what the hell SD-80 i...

Could be a new company going in south of Cheery Growers that makes big pre-stress concrete beams, the bike lady is trying to get MDOT to abandon the line to Grawn but MDOT said no because there might be a couple new businesses moving on the line in the future.

In bound empty containers (double stack) and down the road plywood and building materials for Box & tops. you can see how stupid MDOT engineers are, GLC ask for a run-a-round so they dont have to ball face cars back to Boardman Yard and you can plainly see its going to be a stub track. Now they have...

Michigan Shores is lossing the sand traffic, the sand will come from Yuma on the GLC. There has been crews working at the plant in Yuma for the last month and GLC is doing some minor track work cense the line has sat dormant for the last five years. The Yuma plant is waiting for parts to come from o...

The hopper cars were involved in a derailment last summer on the Middleton branch, sun-kinks were the reason.

Yes they are, the SD35s weigh in around 410,000Lbs and the SD40-2s weigh in around 360,000Lbs.

Mr. Erroneous Monk, the SD35s were weighted from EMD for N&W at 410,000 Lbs. and used in the Eastern coal fields. They were great for hauling heavy coal trains and held the rail very well. As for the Alco trucks on the GP35s, the Alco truck were built very stout, they have a longer short time pullin...

Why dont you talk to the train crews sometime, they will tell you who's running the railroad!!! I dont talk out of my ass like some people!!!

SD40-2or3s would be just fine, What they need is four more SD40s and to get rid of the upper management or get someone with business back ground to run the darn place and not some railfan foammer!!!

There is also such a thing as a (trip lease car)

Thank you Dave O, Im sorry for getting mad at you.

Lake State Railway landed a very big deal with the big three, they're going to build a distribution terminal in Gaylord Mi. So look forward to seeing auto racks moving up north next year. Good score to Lake State sale's force!!!

The wye is out of service, wide gage!!!

Its called road salt, for winter maintenance. Maybe next year, its in the planning stages!!!

Does MDOT have a timeframe for when work will begin to replace the exciting bridge?

Good, maybe he'll ask why the hell are there so many slow orders on the Cadillac district, and GLC doesn't seem to want to spend any of there money on ties or rail. The state contract reads that the operating railroad is to spend 20 to 25% of its earnings on general track maintenance!!! Instead they...

Main generator shorted out, its fried!!!
