Heard running north out of Cadillac today. Most likely Petoskey branch.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
15 plastic pellet cars at the Petoskey Plastics transload. PP uses 2-3 cars a week on average. I wonder if any other companies are transload if from Petoskey?

Actually a northbound train since the tracks are on the east side of US-131 at this point and 398 is leading. 392 is behind the fire truck.

Last I heard EJP was using the Clare location. See how reliable sources are not always reliable .

The cars in Mancelona are just staged for the crew to take to Petoskey IIRC.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
That would make sense. The transload track in Petoskey was close to full at 15 cars.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
The cars in Mancelona are for EJP NOT Petoskey Plastic, EJP has a plant in Beaverton and they use the old Harrison track in Clare to get inbound plastic pellets.

Another video of today's Petoskey run. This one at the Manistee River bridge between Manton and Walton Junction. I'll try to get back here when the leaves start to change.
