Might be they are going to TC and Kalkaska today.

Surprised there was not any cement cars in the consist.

The gas plant, where the tank cars are going, has two tracks with five dock spots each for a total of 10 spots. There is also a long lead to the plant. So to switch more than five cars takes quite a while.

Northbound through Manton at 0950.

2 center beams?

Might be they are going to TC and Kalkaska today.

393 and 392 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1030 with 7 hoppers from MAC, 2 tanks, 7 coke empties , 1 empty center beam and 18 tanks.

Is it still the 393 and 392 in Cadillac? Also, did it snow up there?

I didn't catch the locos coming in yesterday. And there's about 1-2 inches of snow here in town.

[Pie39]

Heading north, I hear them from Manton. 393/392.

[James Sofonia]

Just came home at 1840 never got to see or hear them, but there is fresh tracks in the snow at Holiday Rd. , Traverse City. Anybody see the run?

[Pie39]

They went to Petoskey I believe with covered hoppers, I chased them as far as Mancelona before I headed home.
