Unsure if the Cadillac crew left town today. As of 1230 this afternoon they were still attempting to get a car back onto the rails on the east end of Selma Yard.

Sorry for the late heads up but GLC went south through Durand with an 85 car grain train at 12:12pm. 396, 382, and 329 for power.

390 and 392 through Temple towards Cadillac at 1552. 28 cars, virtually all of which looked destined for McBain. Very nice- been a long time since I've seen only GP35s on the point.

398, 397, 392 and 390 leaving Cadillac at 1055 with 40 cars. Would have made a nice video had I been closer to the tracks.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: March 2019
399 and 329 returned to Cadillac from the north around 1545. Heard them moving around this morning around 0930. Didn't hear them head north.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: March 2019
Heading south for the weekend, stopped by Cadillac to check out GLC.
Caught them switching at Tufford (North) Yard on the north end early Friday.
Here's a few shots taken despite the weather acting like it was still winter.
First shot: The 5 bulkhead flats with flat steel loads can be seen while 329-399 work the yard.
With the snow and wind blowing, a Quality Energy semi waits for the crossing to clear before leaving the yard.
Finally the weather improves and with sunshine upon us, we get another view of those bulkhead flats.
Under much better sky's, we see 329 and 399 still working the yard, along with the new sign at the entrance.
Where are those bulkheads of steel going:
Kaleva Michigan I've been told.

With Quality Energy trucks hauling them out, this seems like the likely destination.
Next mystery, Who/What is Tufford Yard named after?
