The Christmas graffiti was decent, glad you caught it.
One question about graffiti: How do the RR people keep graffiti off the loco's and most of the reporting marks on the cars? I'm happy to say that I personaly have not see the engines messed up.
GLC was over on CSX at 09:00 Wednesday morning to pick up 61 cars off the Howell passing siding at 9:15 am. 393 leading, 392-390 back to back trailing. All three units need washing bad, especially 392 & 390 They went north shortly after that.
Northbound train out of Owosso about 9am. Had 392 leading 395, and about 20 cars, mostly hoppers. Got him again at Ashley at 10:05am. Waiting at Shepherd for him, before continuing north.
You know that little voice in your head? My wife says I lack that.

He dropped his train in the yard and is still working the big hopper place in Clare as of this posting. Still no sign of the Cadillac train. I'll try to post when he gets ready to head south.

396, 398 south through mount Pleasant with 49 (ish?) cars. 4 of those were loaded with logs / pulpwood. Also lots of cement. I missed a good shot of them coming over the M-20 bridge. I plan on trying again later this week
Logs are loaded in Cadillac periodically. Possibly McBain too.

PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
396 and 398 left Cadillac for Clare at 1020 with 4 pulpwood loads, 16 tie loads, 3 tanks, 2 cement hoppers, 1 tank, 14 cement hoppers and 4 tanks. Had a bit of an obstructed view, tie and cement counts may be off by one.
392 and 395 return to Cadillac at 1545 with 1 covered hopper, 2 tie or coke hoppers, 1 covered hopper, 13 cement hoppers and 1 tank.
You're welcome. I'll keep them coming as long as I keep catching them. Shame it was so dark and gloomy when they left, five minutes later, nothing but sunshine.
