Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2020
Hey GTWDT3 - Can you tell me what CSTN is? Is this a train from Cadillac to Owosso?
112 cars is a huge train for GLC. Why so many cars? Where did they all come from?
Thanks.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2020
I'll answer the first part... Cadillac south turn. I believe it usually meets the ontn (owosso north turn) in clare but on very rare occasion my go much farther south. In years past the meet location varied a lot more than it does now i think. When i was growing up ive seen them meet in lake George Marion and Mt pleasant. Have they ever had a 100+ car train that far north anyone?David Lang wrote: ↑Fri Aug 28, 2020 7:01 amHey GTWDT3 - Can you tell me what CSTN is? Is this a train from Cadillac to Owosso?

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2020
Most of the cars were in storage on the Yuma line, correct?
I wonder if they will leave via CSX, CN or AA/NS

Reports of Traverse City run today. They should be getting close to town now. Unsure if they took anything with them.
Edit: Load of lumber for Amerhart.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2020
Well, from the video from AANscaleRunner, I count 109 cars, but WOW was that big out of Cadillac. Someone else posted storage cars was a part of the consist, so that makes sense.

That OSTN with the storage run went south around 3. Not sure if it went to AP or if those tankers went to Osmer.
