North Baltimore calling folks back?

Unread post by ~Z~ »

Saw on train orders that north Baltimore was calling back crews and cranes are running again. I haven't seen intermodal on q326 in Michigan the last few days, in which this would explain that. Anyone seeing activity there?

Yard job on every shift effective today. Yardmasters put back on. Cranes never stopped running, road crews had been doing all the shuffling in the terminal.

Searching back thru my log records, found this:

Road trains Q334 & Q335 were reinstated between Grand Rapids and Toledo Sept. 12, 2017

Road Trains Q384 & Q385 from Grand Rapids to Selkirk replaced Q334 & 335 on Oct. 8, 2017

Intermodal between Chicago and Plymouth began running via Grand Rapids on Oct 17th, 2017 on Q326 & Q384.

Cranes are only being used to lift local traffic. All container sorting is being done by steel wheel method.
