Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
Possibly northbound out of Cadillac today. My guess would be TC. I've seen and heard nothing on the south side of town this morning.
Edit: Did indeed run to TC.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
While 398 & 392 is running between Cadillac and Claire this morning, 397 & 390 went through Howell south at 11:45 with 50 cars again, same amount as I saw them have one day last week. About half are for CSX at Ann Pere where they are currently working

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
Haven't seen or heard them on the south side of Cadillac this morning so I would guess they are headed to Traverse City today.
Edit: No run to TC. Crew drove south and brought back a 32 car train at 1415 with 399 and 396.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
Today's train to Traverse City. The hoppers were set out on the main just east of the Boardman River bridge along River Rd south of TC.
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
AANR, you're correct, those are carloads of ballast.

Kind of an odd day- 17 cars, but 15 left along River Road (down from Keystone Road), they took 2 lumber loads to Amerhart and picked up top empties. Strangely they left the empties at the depot (also didnt take a Beacon load) and tied back onto the remaining 15 SGVY hoppers, pointed back toward TC, but then the crew left the entire train and got into an SUV.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
A train passed through Alma last night at 10pm, direction uncertain, according to a reliable source.
I wonder if this means track work still has the Owosso/Clare Turn running at night?

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: September 2019
The 3rd hopper was delivered Friday around lunch time-Look for my chase video documenting the entire day this evening. Lots of great shots, big train both ways, switching action, crossing the Manistee, and 392 leading southbound from Elmira to Cadillac.~Z~ wrote:On both Friday afternoon and Monday night, 3 covered hoppers spotted at Mancelona.

GLC currently at 3 Mile on the Williamsburg branch with 2 empties. One center beam and one bulkhead flat. 15 hoppers and 2 more empty lumber cars at the depot, so will be leaving TC tonight with 19 cars!! Also, a state trooper and a deputy parked in the RR right of way at the South Airport Road crossing at angles watching the crossing. Not sure why??
