I hear them on the radio working in Clare but I can't say where or which train. It looks like letherer truss has a fresh beam car 1530

From yesterday (December 1): no running power visible at the shops in Owosso, it was either inside or being used elsewhere. Recently repaired 393 is back on the road again and was being used as the trailing unit on the North Pole Express. 391, 394 and 385 are in their usual spots outside. Rumor is 391 will be the next GP35 they start working on.

Left Cadillac for Clare at 1130. Heard them return at 1730.

Left Cadillac at 1015 today. Didn't stick around to see them return.

83 and 96 returned to cadillac around 6:15 last night.

382 and 396 south through Temple at 1320, 27 cars. 3 loads from Biewer.

Passed through Lucas at 1145. Left McBain at 1250.

North through Temple at 1557.

Random question, but are there any TSBY painted locomotives left on the GLC?

Left Cadillac for Clare at 1000. Didn't see them return.

394 and 1977, neither of which currently run. The other is GE 25 Tonner #1226, which is the Owosso shop goat.

Heard them on the north end of Cadillac around 1000. Haven't heard them since. Possibly northbound today. Didn't see yesterday's inbound.

Is that switcher still parked at renosol in farwell? It's been several years since I've been over that way. No idea what # it is. That may be the 1977 you speak of.

Yup, that is TSBY NW2 #1977!!!! As a matter of fact, I photographed it at the now Lear® Corp. in Farwell, Friday Aug 23, 2019!!!!
It still looks great complete with "TSBY" lettering!!!! Here is a photo I took during that trip (Canon® 35mm S.L.R.):

Left Cadillac for Clare at 1025. Saw them return at 1610 from a distance. Couldn't get lead locomotive number, 382 was trailing. Mostly ties and tanks. 1 centerbeam for Traverse City.

Looks like northbound out of Cadillac today since I didn't see them on the south end of town.

Would those first few ex-Conrail hoppers patched GLC be coming from the MAC facility?
