*** ATTENTION MARQUETTE FANS ***
Z15106, Z15108 have been annulled due to fuel costs and the lower car counts coming from a few key industries.

Hmmm, that sounds serious! How long is that supposed to last for?

the Z151 turn is called for 2100 hours, so the section date will be the day previous to when they arrive down to GR. The "road train" is called for around 10am the following day, and so the Z151 has to wait for the equipment to run Baldwin - Manistee - Ludington - Baldwin, before they take the train south.

The person I heard it from talked about yearly savings in fuel so I'm guessing it's a semi-permanent change.
