Great Lakes Central Updates: December 2019

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: December 2019
From yesterday (December 1): no running power visible at the shops in Owosso, it was either inside or being used elsewhere. Recently repaired 393 is back on the road again and was being used as the trailing unit on the North Pole Express. 391, 394 and 385 are in their usual spots outside. Rumor is 391 will be the next GP35 they start working on.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: December 2019
Random question, but are there any TSBY painted locomotives left on the GLC?

394 and 1977, neither of which currently run. The other is GE 25 Tonner #1226, which is the Owosso shop goat.kd_1014 wrote:Random question, but are there any TSBY painted locomotives left on the GLC?

Heard them on the north end of Cadillac around 1000. Haven't heard them since. Possibly northbound today. Didn't see yesterday's inbound.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: December 2019
Is that switcher still parked at renosol in farwell? It's been several years since I've been over that way. No idea what # it is. That may be the 1977 you speak of.SD80MAC wrote:394 and 1977, neither of which currently run.

Yup, that is TSBY NW2 #1977!!!! As a matter of fact, I photographed it at the now Lear® Corp. in Farwell, Friday Aug 23, 2019!!!!
It still looks great complete with "TSBY" lettering!!!! Here is a photo I took during that trip (Canon® 35mm S.L.R.):

Left Cadillac for Clare at 1025. Saw them return at 1610 from a distance. Couldn't get lead locomotive number, 382 was trailing. Mostly ties and tanks. 1 centerbeam for Traverse City.

Would those first few ex-Conrail hoppers patched GLC be coming from the MAC facility?AANscaleRunner wrote:Left Cadillac for Clare at 1115. Cold and overcast...again.
