Returned to Cadillac at 1755. Too dark to see anything from the house.

Leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1100.

What was on the centerbeam and where did it ship from. I haven't seen any centerbeams up here in TC for a few weeks.

Returned to Cadillac around 1500 or so. Just heard them over Selma Yard way.

The sawmill in McBain occasionally ships lumber. There may be another empty sitting in Selma Yard for them.

Heard them move into Selma Yard at 1340. Left Cadillac at 1410 and returned at 1550. Short trip to McBain today.

396 and 397 left Cadillac for Clare at 1010 with 12 covered hoppers (10 MAC and 2 feed facility), 7 tanks, 1 tie gon and 9 tanks.

Nb past the Ithaca soy bean plant at 1320. Looks like a pretty nice train from the highway.

Into Cadillac at 1810. Too dark to see anything from the house, but sounded like they were working hard.
