395 and 397 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 0945 with 14 cars, 11 of them for McBain.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: April 2019
MMRR had the GLC 329 and 4 other motors out of Hemlock today. This was the second CN grain train on the MMRR and for Andersons. The GLC crew was piloted back to Alma and took over at around noon. From there they took the train to Durand and set all 105 cars out at around 2pm. With all 4 motors, they shot south and got recrewed somewhere between Durand and Howell. In Osmer they will (if not already) be grabbing another grain train for Shepherd and Rosebush and running it north to spot tonight.

Thanks for that info HESR3868. Running on the MMRR would have been an incredible move to document on that gorgeous day.
You know that little voice in your head? My wife says I lack that.

No Problem Todd! If I didn't have sports I would've been out for sure.

Heard them on the north end of Cadillac at 1450. Looks like they ran to Kalkaska today, string of tanks with an EOT in North (Tufford) yard. Also drove past Selma Yard to see what's sitting there, mostly cars for McBain with a few coke hoppers in the mix. Doesn't appear there is anything for TC in either yard, unless it is well hidden.

I like your elevated video. It's funny how some of the scrap tie gons are stacked neatly and others messy.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: April 2019
Nice shot of the passenger consist arriving. I'm guessing they will truck the steam engine up there? I'm planning to be up there on Friday for the Kalkaska trips.

I can confirm the trucking of the steam engine. I saw it on a trailer northbound on US 131 in Grand Rapids near Ann street at 4:45 today.Dan Cluley wrote:Nice shot of the passenger consist arriving.

In Kalkaska the steam engine is on the north end of the train. Cabooses on south end. Trips are going to go north out of town.
