Re: Great Lakes Central Updates May 2021
What day will they likely run to TC this week?
(I'm also curious when they may run to Petoskey as well).

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates May 2021
They seem to like doing night runs to TC, or early evening. Petoskey is a crapshoot on when they’ll go, usually it’s during the day mid-week.
Consistently confused

Last Thursday they arrived into TC at 11am, so it's a total crapshoot as to when.KingsleyRailFan wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 9:46 amThey seem to like doing night runs to TC, or early evening. Petoskey is a crapshoot on when they’ll go, usually it’s during the day mid-week.

OSTN SB at Durand at 5:10 PM
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates May 2021
Looks like they're getting to Howell just now (00:08) it's only the SD45 (385?).
My friend said there was a "short train" earlier (around 23:30?) on the GLC earlier as well.
03:30 - lined back into Durand.

They must have had large enough train for AA (or a unit) that they ran separately to AA and CSX.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates May 2021
Several thousand new ties on the entire Williamsburg branch to finish/add to the several thousand they replaced in 2014 on that branch. 4 gons in Cadillac for Beacon (Beacon also has 3 loads on the siding), and also a center beam in Cadillac.GLC_391 wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 4:23 pmThey are doing something along that stretch.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates May 2021
GLC arrived into TC with 5 cars this morning about 11:30am. Dropped 4 empties at Beacon, picked up 3 loads. Seemed to be at least 2 railfans there. One looked like the politian Jason Allen (or he used to be a rep in the area anyway). Also a center beam for Amerhart.
