I'm guessing 329 isn't headed to Peaker, as the post from the end of September thought.

Middleton report today. Unit train of corn being loaded by MAC crew's last couple of day's. GLC crew on site in Perrinton doing mobile repairs on some hoppers by the looks of thing's. MAC should have it finished today,or tomorrow morning I would think. Some random fertilizer hoppers,and tank's of liquid fertilizer are near the dry fertilizer building waiting.

Headlights looking east from 127 at 1336. Looks as though the crossing is about to be redone and more lights added

Does anyone know if the GLC ran OSTN today (Sunday). While in Howell today I crossed the tracks at Michigan Ave and noticed a yellow over red indication for the CSX tracks heading east. I decided to head to AnnPere and see if anything was going on there and saw only cars on the interchange track (nothing on the passing siding). Singals at the diamond were red.

Wouldn't a yellow over red in downtown Howell indicate a stop for the next signal (end of siding near AnnPere)?

Cstn here working mcbain. I can't see them from here so no accounting of cars yet. 2 empty beams dropped at biewer, no pole cars today. 1450
