396 and 382 returned to Cadillac at 1530 with 43 cars. Poles, cement and sand mostly. 3 gons also came in, too far away to see if tie loads or empty.

Haven't heard them in Cadillac all day. Assuming northbound before 0830 when I got out of the office. Most likely Petoskey bound with that early of a leave time.

Most likely ran to at least Elmira today. There was at least 40 cement hoppers in town waiting to head up that way.

I'm thinking the last time the scrap yard in Traverse City loaded five gondolas at the same time was around 2005 (+/- a year or two) when Integrity Iron & Metal operated it and TSBY was the operator of the railroad.

Actually, a couple weeks ago GLC pulled 5 loads, and then 4 the week after. A few times (at least), they've pulled 3 loads at a time. Certainly nice to see the traffic again here!
