AAN, you seem to be the only one braving the elements. I'd go out too but we have no trains to watch in Traverse City, Just undisturbed snow over the tracks here.

Re: GLC Updates January 2018
It was -14 while I was watching them in the North Yard. It warmed up to -5 when I gave up watching at 1000. I'm glad I took this week off and am not out walking around all day.Pixl wrote:AAN, you seem to be the only one braving the elements.

There are 2 empty center beam cars in Williamsburg awaiting GLC to disturb the snow....

Re: GLC Updates January 2018
Heard them again Saturday morning in Cadillac. This time around 0820. By the time I got dressed and drove to the north side they were already in the engine house. Drove out to the north end later in the morning and noticed trucks being loaded at the lp facility. So I'm assuming the last two Saturdays they have came in to switch the lp facility. Don't know for certain. Also noticed Wyoming Feeds was loading trucks Saturday also.

Does it seem to you that coke hoppers have been down a little recently?
