Routing for Essexville Coal Trains

What's the current routing for coal trains to Essexville? Obviously, I know they come up the Saginaw Sub and are then handed off to the LSRC, but how do they get from the BNSF to Michigan? I also saw a photo recently of an Essexville train in Grand Rapids. When did they stop running those?

So Dunn Paper is only serviced once a week?

How about the logistics company. Do they get rail service?

GM Flint Assembly Questions

1. How many autoracks a day are loaded now after the expansion?

2. Does the plant get switched every shift?

3. Has the number of rack trains to/from Flint increased since the expansion?

4. Is the David Rd tower still used?

Re: CN Updates July 2021

CN was pulling up to East Belsay with the train. LSRC would hook onto this train immediately and then CN will hang a marker on the end. The BNSFs will then go back west to flint yard. I suspect that they will be used for L501 tonight. Is there now an East Belsay in the timetable? You mean Belsay? H...
