What I presume is ONTN departing Owosso. No visual on power.

Sounds like GLC may have had a minor derailment in Shepherd in the last hour or so. Seen it on the Shepherd Police Dept fb page.

Lead loco jumped the rails. Was minor.

GLC has an empty grain train in Osmer (and another on the way).

They also should have a loaded outbound off of HESR in Durand (Auburn).

Currently have one online split between the SOTW elevators in Shepherd and Rosebush.

Also FRA tren should be due in this week as well.

6/26: 383 ran into Cadillac at 19:00 with tankers and a TC run. They left Southbound around 19:35 with the same consist, minus the tankers.

6/27: 383 ran to Traverse City and returned to Cadillac around 17:30.
Consistently confused

Did they go to TC or Petoskey? I forget if they take them up there or not.

Rosebush at 11:20.

Should be nearing Owosso now.
