Re: New siding-business in Traverse City???
Long story short,a new siding is being built. It may or may not see some sort of rail activity on it. Will the salt transload ever happen? Speaking of the Economy, I'm loosing my job May 31 2024 because it's cheaper to manufacture in India. I'm the company truck driver,maybe I should look into the R...

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates January 2024
Correction on my last,they seemed to pull a bunch of the random hoppers to Ashley,and left them there. MAC was loading the last few car's of the Unit CSX train at noon today. Then at some point the process will begin to move the unit train to Ashley lol.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates January 2024
GLC was working the Middleton branch over night pulling a CSX grain train in sections back to Ashley. MAC crew's worked over night loading also,probably coming south today I would imagine.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates September 2023
My guess on the concrete ties would be the power plant in McBain. I know they sort out ties and sell good one's back out by rail&truck,perhaps there doing that with these also? Or just grinding them up for other use? The owners of the power plant are a salvage operation also I believe.

Sounds like GLC may have had a minor derailment in Shepherd in the last hour or so. Seen it on the Shepherd Police Dept fb page.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates - January 2023
Observation from Owosso this morning as I was passing through. 390 appeared to be hooking up to the Western Maryland painted leased unit at SRI,perhaps GLC is leasing it now? Or guess it could be returning home also.
