AARR south thru Ann Arbor at 08:35 with a loaded grain train off of GLC. This is a CSX-system grain train from The Andersons in Oakley. An NS one off of the MMRR/Breckenridge is the one that derailed in San Yard Wednesday afternoon.

Curious if people know if the mainline is up and running thru Owosso.

They certainly haven't had good luck with grain trains and derailments lately.

Appears to have been a 1500 (or thereabouts) call time for Cadillac today. Wife saw them moving around 1530. I'm assuming a Clare run today. I had already left town for the day.

GLC just arrived into TC with 2 lumber loads at 8:00am. Super early, or super late. :wink: :wink: :wink:

Ran to Clare yesterday shortly after midnight. Returned to Cadillac before 0800. Ran to Elmira in the afternoon/evening. Was told track work is going on between Lake George and Rosebush. So this wonky schedule may be going on for a while.

And you mean Garfield Avenue in TC, headed back to TC. As opposed to Garfield Road in Kingsley. They are literally leaving TC now with 3 cars.

When I saw them cross Garfield in TC, they only had the two lumber cars that they'd taken to Amerhart, same when I saw them pass by going toward Amerhart on the work cameras. They must've picked up the Beacon car back up on their way out of town, as it was not there when I saw them.
