Re: Great Lakes Central Updates January 2024

Correction on my last,they seemed to pull a bunch of the random hoppers to Ashley,and left them there. MAC was loading the last few car's of the Unit CSX train at noon today. Then at some point the process will begin to move the unit train to Ashley lol.

GLC was working the Middleton branch over night pulling a CSX grain train in sections back to Ashley. MAC crew's worked over night loading also,probably coming south today I would imagine.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates September 2023

My guess on the concrete ties would be the power plant in McBain. I know they sort out ties and sell good one's back out by rail&truck,perhaps there doing that with these also? Or just grinding them up for other use? The owners of the power plant are a salvage operation also I believe.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates - January 2023

Observation from Owosso this morning as I was passing through. 390 appeared to be hooking up to the Western Maryland painted leased unit at SRI,perhaps GLC is leasing it now? Or guess it could be returning home also.
