Re: Shortline Updates July, 2021
HESR 3037 was left next to the sidestreet in the bad axe yard last evening while one of the railamerica units sits near the former engine house. There are a couple of small empty open hoppers parked further down the siding from the 3037 that had stone in them the last time I seen them so maybe 3037 was doing maintence work somewhere towards the croswell end of the line. The current schedule seems to be Monday Wednesday Friday southbound around 7.30 pm based on when I hear them while on lunch at work.

Not sure where it is currently, but the LSRC OCS went south through Birch Run about 45 minutes ago
Re: Shortline Updates July, 2021
Sounds like the Elk got back to Plainwell from Otsego about 10:00 PM. If they follow the usual pattern, they'll be NB. A midnight run to GR!?!
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.

NB JAIL freight through Mason at 0650. Train had paused at the shops pending a crew change. ADBF 1758 and 1751 are your motors with 12 coils in tow which I presume will go to CSX.
