GLC has a new snowplow. Saw it servicing Kingsley yesterday when I went to work. Looks pretty sharp.

I'm on a Delta flight from TC to Detroit, and just passed over a GLC train headed north through Kalkaska. Looks like 2 locos and maybe 6-10 cars. What timing!!

I see GLC pulled a load and spotted an empty at Beacon last night. Didn't check the Williamsburg branch though, happened to go by Beacon while going to get my COVID-19 vaccine (shot 1 of 2). Just as easy as a flu shot.

Day crew worked Cadillac and Mcbain today. Night crew may be working as the power was sitting outside the engine house on the belt.
