Re: MI Shortlines Updates Feb. 2017
GRE Ann St. (Fuller Yard) has 3 tracks full of mostly King hoppers (looks like around 40). Lowell is mostly empty, so likely one or two EB's with loads tomorrow. If no trains to Lowell, not sure where they would put any more cars at Fuller?

EB GRE over the Grand River around 10:30-11:00am. 25 cars including one Amway tank at the end. Still 15 or so along Ann Street at noon, all gone at some point this afternoon. Too cold to check King Milling, but I am sure it is loaded with hoppers.
Also saw Grand Elk EB w/ 2 box cars going under US-131 near Plainwell around 2:00pm.

Re: MI Shortlines Updates Feb. 2017
Sounded like they had a 90-car train inbound for them the other day when Newaygo can only hold 65. I bet they are holding the remainder in the pass at Grant...if I were a betting man.PatAzo wrote:The Marquette is in Newaygo picking up a grain train from MAC. Three SD40-2. 2:30PM.
