GDLK brought in a WSOR unit and 4225 for power today. looked to be a 30-40 car train. Also had a GP40-2LW with them that they left in Hughart yard.
Have not heard them come south yet but came north around 3:15 around 68th St.
Yard Power is still the 3531 and 7030.

1945 hrs: Baldwin, mi: CFE unit facing south with dim headlights on the east leg of the wye at the depot with about 15 Winchester Western covered hoppers. What product do they carry and where do they come from?
I see MQT lengthened their repair track all the way up to 8th Street North of the depot.

Anyone have any idea about what time LSRC 304 heads south from Grayling? I'm not 100% sure but I think it runs every weekday. I haven't seen it in almost 2 years, so that may have changed. If the timing works out, I may stop to see them in St Helen on my way up north a week from Friday.

I don't think it runs to Bay City everyday. Some days it might just switch around Grayling and at least once a week goes to Gaylord. It might go south to Bay City 2-3x per week would be my guess.
