Entering North Yard this morning, Missaukee Junction and 18 1/2 Mile Rd south of Manton. Then I had to break off and head to TC. Crank up the volume.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2017
Thanks, I'm definitely enjoying my second vacation up north in TC this summer. I hope to catch the TC train if it runs this Friday, but it looks like it could be pouring rain. Oh well, Michigan weather I guess.Pixl wrote:Nice job MI Rail, thanks for posting

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2017
It really sounded like the engines were getting a head start before tackling Manton Hill in that second video. They sounded like they were in 7th or 8th notch! My guess is that with 21 cars, Manton Hill is a pain in the butt for the crew.AANscaleRunner wrote:

The return train 18 empty cement cars and five empty plastic pellet cars entering Kalkaska. I don't know if they picked anything up in Kalkaska.

I believe that there were two tanks waiting for the SB train to pick up in the Magnum siding.AARR wrote:The return train 18 empty cement cars and five empty plastic pellet cars entering Kalkaska. I don't know if they picked anything up in Kalkaska.

393, 395 and 396 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 0855 with 10 tie loads and 56 two bay hoppers. Assuming some of those came from Yuma last week.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2017
That might explain why they brought up 3 engines to Cadillac on Monday...AANscaleRunner wrote:393, 395 and 396 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 0855 with 10 tie loads and 56 two bay hoppers. Assuming some of those came from Yuma last week.

I swear to God 393 just teleports around the system with careless abandon (I ALMOST came up to chase this run again today).AANscaleRunner wrote:393, 395 and 396 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 0855 with 10 tie loads and 56 two bay hoppers. Assuming some of those came from Yuma last week.

That should have read 392. Wish 393 would get back up here. I even proofread twice.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2017
Your welcome Todd! Being called 'MI Rail' seems a bit out of place for me, when I made this account it wouldn't let me write out my YouTube identity 'MichiganRailProductions' or even 'MichRailProductions'. I'll just have to get used to it. Also, are you considering chasing the TC train? Depending on when the loads come up, he could be going tomorrow or Friday... I'll most likely be chasing it around town and out to possibly Grawn if they do a Beacon run and most likely to Williamsburg.Todd_F wrote:I swear to God 393 just teleports around the system with careless abandon (I ALMOST came up to chase this run again today).AANscaleRunner wrote:393, 395 and 396 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 0855 with 10 tie loads and 56 two bay hoppers.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2017
Whew! I feel a little better knowing I didn't blow 393 on the point.
I think I'll do some more GLC stuff next week but I haven't decided where yet.
