GLC was NB out of Owosso at 02:50 AM with a huge cut of ZFS hoppers and tanks out of Durand.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates September 2023
Will the ZFS Durand CN traffic be affected by the new transload on JAIL in Lansing.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates September 2023
Those cars seem to have come in via all three railroads at first but seem to all be leaving via NS. CN still seems to have ZFS cars and so does CSX from GLC.AARR wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 11:00 amWill the ZFS Durand CN traffic be affected by the new transload on JAIL in Lansing.LansingRailFan wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 10:57 amGLC was NB out of Owosso at 02:50 AM with a huge cut of ZFS hoppers and tanks out of Durand.
I think ZFS is trying to expedite some of their soybean oil cars as they tend to be higher revenue carloads.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates September 2023
383 and 382 made a Owosso - Durand turn today. Came into Durand at 3pm with 7 cars for CN. Spent better part of 5 hours switching the North Yard at Durand, getting the cars in the right order. Departed at 820pm with 80 cars, mix of ZFS, Tank cars, and a few empty center beams
The dispatcher is cool.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates September 2023
Seen the south bound leaving Owosso,plus caught the north bound in Ashley while making my deliveries. Thing's to note,rail replacement continued today in Owosso on the main. They've been replacing ties,rail,in town most of the summer it seems. HiRail was inspecting the Middleton branch,MAC has a unit train ready to go. Wonder if GLC was able to hire a few more crew members? Activity seems to have picked up some,but definitely still wacky time's I've been catching them.

Middleton runs today most likely. Will take three trips to pull out that unit train from MAC Middleton.
