Have been hearing about 391 for quite some time now. 390 & 392 has not been seen much lately and I guess 393 has been down for awhile again.

I was in town (TC) yesterday, I don't get there too often lately. I saw that something had been thru the crossings because sand was pushed out of the flange tracks, looked pretty fresh. Anything been thru as of late?

I was in Cadillac yesterday around noon. There was a group of half a dozen people and vehicles at the north end of Tufford yard. It looked like a meeting. The is also a pile of rail nearby that I had not seen before.

Does anyone know of plans for changes to the yard?

From what I could see, GLC was working Ann Pere at 21:00 on Tuesday night. Power was not visible unfortunately.
Their train was hanging out from the transfer onto the mainline, there was also a northbound clear signal at the diamond.

Have they lost another operating crew, or have they been forced to move the other northern crew to the south end to deal with the issues they are having on the south end?

7 engines just outside of Clare around 4:00, with several people looking at them and discussing.
Everyone wondering how they will get anything done, since everything they have operable (based on what I can find from these reports), would have been in Clare.

Based on the July reports, the in-service units are 329, 382, 383, 385, 395, 396, 399.
