Huron and Eastern heading north thru Saginaw.
Re: Michigan Shortlines - Jan 2017
Seems a little early for the northbound to Bay City (normally late afternoon or early evening) or Saginaw Local (usually on duty at Bay City 7am).

They were eastbound through Ada around 7:45 this morning, I don't think I've ever seen them that early.Patriot wrote:GRE --- WB Leonard at 12:00 with 14 CHs and 2 tanks.

GRE was switching the "yard" south of Lowell around 8:30 am. The main and 2 sidings were full. Lowell tracks by King are still mostly full, as they have been all week, with 10 or 15 cars south of town as well. Maybe thy will build a unit train loop if the fairgrounds are relocated!!
