The locomotive and about 15 cars are on the outbound interchange track at Ann Street. Are they sending the locomotive elsewhere?

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates Sept 2017
The GR 2104 is now painted and ready to be transferred back from the MQT to the GR, in exchange for the current unit. My bet is that either CSX swaps them or MQT makes the move themselves.Plannerdad wrote:The locomotive and about 15 cars are on the outbound interchange track at Ann Street.

Z151 will deliver 2104 to Wyoming. Y297 will swap the engines.Saturnalia wrote:The GR 2104 is now painted and ready to be transferred back from the MQT to the GR, in exchange for the current unit.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates Sept 2017
2042 is off the GRE property and a new cut of cars is in. 297 took care of it. Couldn't find MQT tonight unfortunately.
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Keep an eye out for the GRE today. Sounds like 151 dropped off 2104 last night.

There are 8-10box cars at the Detroit Newspapers plant. That's double the number I usually see there. They appeared to all be CP 60' hi-cubes.
