When I was in Traverse City yesterday, saw what looked like two cars parked near Beacon. Strangely, they were on the west side of the main, so more parked on the TentCraft spur across from Beacon. Maybe overflow cars?

Two boxcars parked there for some time, one is 50' ex AA and other is 40' TSBY (ex AA) #1994 used by TSBY for mow and supply car. Not sure why at Beacon, believe they were to be cut up but being saved possibly.
