I saw from the back window the "Loram® "Rail Grinder!!!!" It was not "Grinding" and was only a couple pieces of equipment─crossed 12 Mile, Roseville, at 3:00 p.m. It was heading south! :mrgreen: Now, does anyone know where it is heading? Where will the "Grinding" happen? Where is the rest of the equipment? It was up in Pt. Huron recently! :?:
