Re: Great Lakes Central Updates December 2017
Yes, they came thru Traverse City and on to Williamsburg about 1245. I had been coming home from Acme driving Five mile rd. that parallels the line in that area, no train just rusty tracks. I pull into my drive a mile away and I heard them come thru. probably with that centerbeam. Missed by just a few minutes. Oh well, anybody that is out and about might catch the return trip in a hour or so.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates December 2017
According to second-hand sources, 385 brought 1 lumber load and 2 empty gons to TC today.

2 taller gons spotted at Beacon. NSSX Maybe?

Confirmed. Someone on Facebook posted rather nice photos of the train milling about TC with the 2 tall gons and 1 lumber car.TC Man wrote:csx801 wrote:According to second-hand sources, 385 brought 1 lumber load and 2 empty gons to TC today.

I second that- please post here if you can with permission? I don't have Facebook and would have no clue how to search for these photos.

Can you paste the FB link here? Sometimes I can at least view photos without having an account...
