Re: Great Lakes Central Updates January 2017
They were CSXT hoppers if that helps. Saw in Alma. Also the CP flat looked to be a spacer car due to long poles on the adjacent flat car. Wonder if spacer cars go along "for the ride" free or are they also billable by the mile?AARR wrote:Are these coming from McBain?csx801 wrote:2 loaded chip hoppers

Heard on news that a "snowplow train" derailed in downtown Fife Lake yesterday. Nothing else.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates January 2017
What from a distance I thought were tie hoppers are actually wood chip hoppers. They are loading wood chips in McBain on the Viking Energy spur. The two hoppers are currently spotted on the spur.AANscaleRunner wrote:398 and 392 returned to Cadillac at 1445 with 1 tie hopper, 1 pole load, 1 tie hopper and 19 tanks.
