There is a short string of coke hoppers sitting in Selma Yard. They've been there over a week. Wyoming Feed is a great customer for GLC up here. As a side note, I don't believe the MAC facility has shipped any cars out yet. Weather hasn't been good for getting corn out of the fields.

Doesn't seem like many coke cars are being shipped

And it seems like feed cars are up

Leaving Cadillac for Clare around 0930. Caught them passing through Lucas.

Yes it is. First loads out of Cadillac this year. A longer string came in yesterday. At least ten hoppers sitting at the facility this afternoon.

I'm guessing a Petoskey run today. Didn't see any plastics hoppers in Tufford this afternoon. Two gons are sitting in Tufford, here is one of the road #'s: DJJX 30920.

One of the trains working on the old c&o. I saw them from the highway so no better info 1250

[AANscaleRunner]

Leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1000. 396 and 399 returned at 1530 with 28 cars. A load of lumber for TC, 3 cottonseed cars and the rest tanks. All of them went to Tufford Yard.

It seems like the feed place is getting more than the 6 car a week they were projecting.

It seems like Biewer is shipping more than the 4 cars a week of lumber they were projecting.

And inbound coke loads seem to be only a few a week. I wonder if EJIW has proceeded to shut down it's foundry in EJ in favor of the new place in Elmira which doesn't use coke.

One of the trains working the poly plaza in clare 1206

[AANscaleRunner]

399 and 396 left Cadillac for Clare at 1000 with 11 cars, mostly tanks. Returned at 1510 with 18 cars, mostly tanks. Too far away to catch loco #'s.
