Re: GLC Updates May 2018
GLC brought 10 cars to TC today. 6 hoppers (for a total of 8 there now, plus that box car) and 3 gons, including that pretty blue one. 1 lumber load for Amerhart. Left town with 2 empty center beams.AANscaleRunner wrote:Returned to Cadillac shortly after 1600.

Took sand hoppers to Yuma and back into Selma Yard at 1750. Background music by Depeche Mode and Sirius radio.

Re: GLC Updates May 2018
They looked empty from where I was sitting. They are still in Selma Yard this evening. I'll keep an eye on them to see if they are moved to North Yard.TC Man wrote:Amy idea if those 2 gons are tie gons or empties for Beacon in TC?

Returned to Cadillac sometime between 1730 and 1900. Took cement and plastic north. I can usually hear them head north, but not today.

Photo Request
My wife makes as an art hobby large tumbler cups with custom graphics and coated with epoxy.
So I would like to have her make me a GLC themed cup, but I need a few shots of GLC engines. I'ts kinda hard for me to get down to Cadillac to shoot them myself. And to get them here in Traverse is difficult due to the irregular trips and they are always moving. So if someone can help me out I'm looking for a few shots of a GLC engine with a similar poise and angle the NS engine has on the begining of our message board.
Thanks

Re: Photo Request
I have a shot of the GLC Fall Color Train in Cadillac with a similar angle of GLC 396. I'll have to find the file, but would you be interested in place of a regular freight train?Pixl wrote:My wife makes as an art hobby large tumbler cups with custom graphics and coated with epoxy.

Also, I'd like to officially put my order in for one of those bad boys, when they're finished of course.

Cement goes to Buzzi in Elmira, correct? Where does the plastic go, end of the line, Petoskey?AANscaleRunner wrote:Returned to Cadillac sometime between 1730 and 1900. Took cement and plastic north. I can usually hear them head north, but not today.

Re: GLC Updates May 2018
Cement goes to Elmira, correct.
Most of the plastic goes to a Petoskey transload for Petoskey Plastics (about 120 cars annually). A little bit, maybe a couple cars a month, goes to a Mancelona transload for East Jordan Plastics.
