Hearing them leave Cadillac towards Clare at 1200.

Thanks for the heads up. Knowing when they leave headed south saves me a lot of hassle getting into the sawmill in mcbain.

Here working biewer at 1304. Pulling 5 lumber loads, an empty pole car and a loaded one. I'm not sure I've seen hydrolake shipping before. I'm sure it happens but not that I've noticed. I don't see any cars to be spotted from here but these guys don't seem to be great at planning their move before they leave the yard so the cars are in a convenient order. A set off may be back in the train somewhere west of here.

Nb through mcbain at 1927. 399/396/391 video should be up any time now although it's not stellar work. Still a cool train. 4 beams here at biewer getting loaded, no poles. That train did have a loaded beam car I assume for tc and 2 empties to come back here. I also noticed on my way up here that letherer truss in Clare has a load spotted.

I got out of the house Saturday (rare event). I saw a box car sitting on the main I think near Beacon or somewhere around here in TC. Almost never see a box anymore here. Anyone else see it?

They may scrap it at Beacon. GLC delivered a bunch of cars there a while back and I think a few of them haven't been cut up yet.

All box cars in TC have been cut up finally. I can confirm there are and were no box cars on the main or siding at or near Beacon on Saturday. You saw a tall DJJX gondola on the siding.
