signal work in Traverse city?

Unread post by TC railman »

I was driving home from school and two GLC workers (and hi-railers) had the signal box open on birmley road. Down the tracks 1/2 mile two more trucks were heading to birmley road!?!?!

Just say them testing the lights on the LONG unused Grawn branch (S. Airport crossing nearest to Cass Rd). Guessing just doing required testing of all the signals in the TC area.

Also, your screen name is VERY similar to mine ! :shock:

Great Lakes Central® again serving the "Cherry Growers" in Grawn?

Robert, the only customer is Amerhart in Bats (west of Williamsburg. They are usually switched 1-2x per week. I don't think there's set days. Keep an eye on the Train Location thread for GLC. The guys usually post when a load of lumber shows up in Cadillac and usually it is taken to Amerhart the next day.
