I saw it sitting in Durand yard Sunday afternoon. Evan is a good guy! We chased LSRC a couple times and he makes a cameo in my 2nd LSRC video.MiRailProductions wrote:I'll be on the lookout, I hope to chase them soon!Evan wrote:HESR 2027, a former NECR GP38 Should be heading south on the GLC sometime in then next few days.

Heard them return to Cadillac at 1620. Still switching at 1730. I'm guessing moved cement to North Yard for a northern trip tomorrow.

Returned from the north at 1930. Didn't hear them leave town this morning.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates August 2017
SABitt at MichiganRailroads.com said they went north with 24 loads (all cement?) and came back with 24 empties (all cement?)
