GLC Updates July 2018

[MiRailProductions]

Heard them on the north end of Cadillac around 1000. Haven't heard them since. Could be headed north.

Maybe TC bound because they had 2 gons for beacon and they had loaded ones ready for pick up.

3 gons for TC, 6 loads to pick up and am empty from Amerhart.

My guess is Elmira bound. 24 cement loads were brought into Cadillac Tuesday evening, along with some tanks that might go to Michcon or Magnum in Kalkaska.

Nothing into TC as of 1pm, with exception on MOW working near the north switch of the Boardman yard runaround.

No, I could only see the truck from 14th Street both times I went across the tracks (about 15 minutes apart).

[James Sofonia]

No indication they were across Holiday Rd. as of 1330.

Great day to be chasing trains. Or listening to them as I'm working.

Any idea what is coming north potentially for TC? Such ad empty gons for Beacon or center beam loads for Amerhart? An occasional box car as well...

[AANscaleRunner]

392, 398 and 399 return to Cadillac at 1545. 40 cars including 1 loaded centerbeam.

[Todd_F]

GLC 390, 396 and 329 made it to Owosso from Clare at 4:00pm.
Same train heading south at Durand at 7:45pm.

[AANscaleRunner]

Leaving Cadillac yesterday morning. Had to slow due to construction on W Cass St.

[TC railman]

Any word on when they are gonna start track work in TC?

[AANscaleRunner]

Leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1100.

[AANscaleRunner]

396 and 390 return to Cadillac with 16 cars. Possible gon for Beacon in the consist.

[KC8RBK]

I see today driving by the soy bean plant in Ithaca they are in the process of connecting the tracks. Currently installing the culvert.

That would make 4 gons and a lumber load to to to Traverse City. I'm betting Tuesday for a TC run. And 6 loads waiting to be picked up at Beacon plus an empty at Amerhart.
