Coastal hasn't gotten any cars the last few months since their truck rate was a lot better. Sounds like they finally have some cars in the pipeline again.

Very late Y106 west at Seymour in GR 17:55.

Would you know why CMGN acquired the U23's instead of more EMD's? Did it have anything to do with their Alco fleet at their sister railroad, D&M? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53860608156_3e8c04cddf_z.jpg The End by Jonathon Leese , on Flickr Former Central Michigan U23Bs #8903 and #8905, B30...

L303 meeting Y106 at Fox, 303 going down the main 13:45, 3422 solo.

A better question is what train is taking all of the 368/369 traffic to and from Clearing.
