Hazards were on and taken through the windshield also. They kind of snuck up on me....AARR wrote:Someone had their turn signal or hazards on. Or was that the trainAANscaleRunner wrote:Leaving Cadillac towards Clare shortly before 1000.

395 and 392 return to Cadillac at 1535 with 2 covered hoppers, 5 tie loads, 6 tanks, 3 covered hoppers, 1 loaded centerbeam and looked like 11 cement hoppers. Had a little bit of an obstructed view.

Not 100 percent, but sounded like northbound out of Cadillac at 0850. Sound isn't carrying well this morning.

Here is a shot of GLC mainline near TC on Keystone road. Does anyone know if these rails staged for re-hab or are they already pulled and waiting to be hauled off? The siding you see serves a huge power sub-station just off to the left of the camera.

42 cars and only one plastic car and no cement cars. The empty center beam might go to Biewer in McBain for loading.
When EJIW new mill opens in Elmira there might not be any more coke deliveries or it could be reduced.
