Biewer Lumber Load NOKL 736170

Unread post by AARR »

I have noticed frequent shipments of Biewer lumber loads northbound mostly on HESR's 701 (Durand-Bay City) but also one time on LSRC between Flint and Saginaw. I finally could read a car number, it is NOKL 736170. Can someone trace the origin and destination? Thank you.

It hasn't been in MI in 2023. Loads in MS unloaded in RI and IL. Sure you have the correct number?

Biewer sawmill in mcbain is a GLC customer and I often see 5-10 center beams going south to Ann Arbor a week. I’ve got some pictures and the car numbers I have are. NOKL 736017, AOK 27738, NOKL 736128, NOKL 736003, NOKL 736014

Edit after watching the video I also noticed some of the same cars that have gone past me on the GLC. At 23:03 the FMC hopper just went south on 4-5-23 headed to Ann Arbor

Just leads me to believe the origin would be mcbain through GLC but not sure on the destinations

Another Biewer Lumber load northbound in HESR. NOKL 736182. Looks like it's going all the way to Bay City. Video by Michael Caden.
