Odd - those boys are on duty at 8am like clock work. Usually pulling out of the engine house by 8:15. Thanks for posting the Middleton info - It'd be nice to catch that Turn again!
You know that little voice in your head? My wife says I lack that.
398, 390 and 392 left Cadillac towards Clare at 1100 with 4 pole loads, 2 covered hoppers, 6 wood chip hoppers, 6 tie loads, 1 box, 8 tanks and 2 covered hoppers.
AANR, looks like you were on a hill . I wonder if the eight pressurized covered hoppers are carrying cement

I was sitting there waiting and looking at that 12 foot snow pile and said to myself, " The top of that would be a good vantage point." So up I went when I heard them come into town.
Returned to Cadillac at 1645. Missed the locos and the first few cars but caught 19 tie loads, 10 tanks, 1 covered hopper, 1 loaded centerbeam and 2 covered hoppers.
RDD, are you able to look up where they are loaded?

Not 100 % sure, but possibly already northbound out of Cadillac. Heard them around 0830 on the north end, by the time I got out that way, I didn't spot them anywhere.
