Thanks CRD. It seems like Nolan would have communicated that to CN but it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't. 5456 northbound in Pontiac Yard with a boxcar and long string of loaded centerbeams. It looks like the Warren Local. Why is it carrying loaded centerbeams northbound? Those centerbeams are ...

5456 northbound in Pontiac Yard with a boxcar and long string of loaded centerbeams. It looks like the Warren Local. Why is it carrying loaded centerbeams northbound? Those centerbeams are for the transload by 8 Mile which is south of here. Edit: Manistique posted at the same time I did so that answ...

Thank you for posting this.

I didn't see any engines from the MI lines on either lists or did I miss something?

Let's just blame AARR for me getting interested in what cars go to what industries, and what commodities are shipped in or out.

Thank you. This is one of my favorite parts of the hobby.

I also enjoy seeing what trains cars travel in from their origin to their destination.

Sounds interesting

From the engine numbers I’d guess GDLK

Copy/paste off of Fb:

4215, 3925, 4049 (?) SB approaching Barton Drive 9:32 am. with not too many random cars. They brought a long CSX grain train up earlier.

Which railroad might this be?

Looks great Don! If I were you, I'd do a card order system for your layout, given how many industries you have.

Thank you for the suggestion. For now I can track everything in my head but as it grows the Card Order System is definitely in consideration.

Since November 2022, GLC has been using crew-specific symbols to ID trains. The classic OSTN/ONTN/CSTN/CNTN have been done away with by GLC.

Thank you LRF. I amended Wiki. As always comments, etc. are welcome.

Nice that you had an operating session already! I'd like to try operating your layout. I had a couple guys come operate mine for the first time about a week ago and things went pretty well. Looking forward to more updates. Thank you for your feedback. At this time, it is set up for one person to op...

Occasionally there will be a day and night job out of Cadillac going in different directions. Another rule of thumb is that if a CNTN runs then there will not be an ONTN to Clare because the Cadillac crew won't run a CSTN on that day, instead the ONTN crew will usually run to Middleton or something ...

First operating session today. In around 2-2.5 hours accomplished 60-75% of a full session. I'd give the overall performance an 7 or 8 out of 10. - I still need to add feeder wires to reduce dead spots. I would estimate there are 15-20 dead spots. My Athearn engines stutter but pass through most of ...

Thank you for the information

Thank you for getting it started. I'll fill in with what I know. Thanks! I've been looking for this info. Do we have Frequency info and On Duty times? I have heard the GLC schedule has been almost random lately...glcsymbols.JPG Feel free to review the updates I inserted and as always let me know if ...

You would think that EJIW would have built a track to their new facility, but I was told that they are at a wait-and-see period.

I thought they would build along the GLC ROW rather than a mile away

Osmer still might be used for the Toledo North Turn and Owosso South Turn to exchange trains The obvious one would be to that no more interchange at Osmer. What would happen with the small yard there? Remove it or use it for storage? Given how the current arrangement is versus when the old Annie was...

The feed mill received rail service back in the MIGN days (Biehls Feeds and later Ellsworth Farmer Exchange) but I don't know if they ever got anything from TSBY. However, TSBY delivered well drilling supplies to that same siding including drilling mud and pipe. Has that building in Mancelona that t...

It's more of a Patriot Rail or another industrial spur type operator's operation

plus no stb filing

What else can you expect from the most mortgaged shortline operator in the country?

G&W will not be operating this I can assure you.

Very interesting! I like how he described his method for bidding a contract to unload steel wire.
