Marquette Rail is quiet today in Baldwin, #3408 is sitting next to the yard office (I think it’s a yard office?), and there’s a cut of manifest sitting on the west side of town facing toward Ludington.

Lowell has no hoppers in town or south of town. Quite a few in the Ann St. GRE yard. Probably EB on Monday or maybe Sunday, before the Bowl!
