Just heard GLC in Traverse City. I'm guessing it's southbound due to the quick intervals of the horn.

Heads up rail fans in Durand you have a HESR southbound headed your way a 745 job that ran light to Saginaw from Bay City and picked up 50 cars out of Genesee street yard. He left Saginaw at 1:20 PM. The power is the 2014, 3826, and the 3852.
