Re: MI Shortline Updates March 2017
GRE WB in GR around noon. Looked like 20-30 empties, mostly hoppers and 2 tanks. Missed them EB, but Lowell is full again and it looks like there are 4 or 5 higher capacity hoppers that have been there for a week or so being unloaded. Track work most of the week on the interchange track at Fuller Yard/Ann St.

The bridge at Fuller over Indian Mill creek was out of service for some time. Twas an argument who owned the repairs and cars piled up in Wyoming. Unit grain train to GRE anyone?

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

I overheard Dispatch instruct them to stop short of Port Sheldon for a vehicle accident blocking the tracks. It didn't take long to clean up; they got the all clear after only a few minutes.
