Where do you get that? You can see in the video thatnthe crossing is totally closed to vehicle traffic while under construction.

Oh my bad

Heard them on the north end of Cadillac at 0830. Assuming a Petoskey run today as I haven't heard them since then.

Update: Heard them back on the north end at 1750.

Have not seen if it has been posted, or a video of it, but saw GLC 382 yesterday and it now has a large number under the cab window, where the GLC letters used to be, similar to 329, instead of the much smaller and off centered number on one of the battery box doors. Like 329, and now 382, there are no GLC markings of any kind on either of the two "new" six axel units.

Leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1005.

NB a couple miles north of m46 at 1145. 3 units. Gray one in the middle. 2 empty beam cars, 1 loaded beam car, 3 pole loads, a fee sand cars, long string of black tanks and a few other odds and ends.

Returned to Cadillac around 1700.

382 and 398 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 0950 with 14 cars. Most of them for McBain.

Wow, the lack of sand has really shortened the trains around here!

398 and 382 returned to Cadillac at 1525 with 13 cars. Did not appear to be any for TC.

Northbound just south of the diamond at Ann Pere. Gonna head into downtown Howell and try to get a better look. Edit: 329 and 396. Mixed freight.

Heard horns on the north end of Cadillac at 1430 and 1440. Guessing a northbound trip today. Didn't hear them leave.

Stopped in Cadillac on way to Frankenmuth this morning, 398 (?) And center beam idling at engine house and a crew walking to engine. Super rare Saturday run to Traverse City! There were 2 empty center beams at Amerhart yesterday and 5 loads at Beacon ready for pick up. Plus needing to switch more hoppers onto Beacon siding.

398 and 382 returned to Cadillac at 1630. 27 cars including a gon and a load of lumber for TC.

Good to see! Surprised the super rare Saturday Traverse City trip didn't generate more excitement from the TC folks. Returning to TC from Frankenmuth last night, 398 and 382 were next to the engine house in Cadillac, the place that gets the hoppers right near there was busting at the seams on both sidings with hoppers. One tank at the transload. Selma Yard seemed pretty full (center beam, Beacon gon, rows of other cars such as Coke, sand cars, poles, wood chip cars, etc. North Yard had a ton of plastic hoppers (seems like an awlful lot compated to what they normally take to Petoskey), and many, many tank cars (mostly black, a couple white "Proctor" cars in the mix. I saw about 5 center beam loads of New ties headed north through Durand on a GLC train there last week. Not sure what the deal is with those?

382 and 398 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1020. 17 cars, most of which are for McBain.

I only got to see that the rails are shined up on the Williamsburg branch.

398 and 382 returned to Cadillac at 1615. 24 cars including a centerbeam for TC.
