It seems like the elevators in Marlette and Brown City still do quite a bit of carload grain business (less than 15 car blocks) even though they are both equipped to load unit trains.

Today around noon, what I would say is most of Huron & Eastern’s roster was at Wenona yard in Bay City: 3391, 3390, 2029, 2028, 3044, 3045, 3868, 3484, 3485 and all 3 GP40-2Ws were present. That only leaves the other 3 RA painted GP38-2s, 2107 and 2026 unaccounted for (one of which was parked at Towerline Rd east of Saginaw).

Does the MMRR typically park a locomotive in St. Louis?

No, normally it’s in the engine house in Alma. Maybe they died there today?

Sorry for the misreport, I was looking at old Google satellite imagery and spotted a locomotive south of Bear Truss on the spur.
Interesting to know they still use the engine house in Alma.

Anyone here happen to know what days of the week Lake State runs south out of Alpena in the evening? (I assume that's still when they run?)

Thanks,
