Bagley is closed today with barricades either side of the tracks. It looks like ABC 12 is doing an interview with someone in a hard hat and new reflective vest. I didn't see if the other vehicle there had glc markings. So far no equipment on the job. 1158

MDOT is closing that intersection for good do to the number of fatal accidents over the year's there. Bagley will become a dead end road off Washington,and a culder sack will be constructed there in the spring.

That will be convenient for great lakes when it comes to switching the new bean plant. I wondered how well that would go over if they had to block it for extended periods to shuffle a unit train. Thanks for the info.

I know it'll be safer, but it's still sad to see part of Old US-27 severed. Sometimes when going north that way I'd take that part into Ithaca. It was like taking a time machine back to the 1950s when I cruised off the busy divided highway directly onto the old two-lane.

Possible northbound out of Cadillac at 1030. Only heard them once in that direction.

Edit:: Gons and lumber not in North Yard this afternoon at 1300. I'm guessing in TC today.
