Michigan Short Line Updates: September 2020
Re: Michigan Short Line Updates: September 2020
Apparently 151 is running reversed for the next few days due to a train not being able to go north from Grant on Sunday night. Explains the late train last night.

JAIL's JL-1 arrived in Mason from Jackson around 7:15 and had a 35 car train. Mostly coil cars but several hoppers, box cars and a tank car as well. Apparently Kent Feeds has been taking car loads again.

Per a report in the field (my grandparents), a Southbound Lake State stone train is passing their camp site in Oscoda (?). That’s all they told me but better something then nothing in this case. Train is passing as we speak or just passed through.

West Michigan picked up 3 cars and left 3 cars for CSX in Hartford last night.

JAIL went NB to Ensel w just power this morning at 9:30. Unknown as to whether they are going past Ensel or just stopping at Ensel as I had to get on a conf call.
SB around 2 with six boxcars. Either worked Padnos and/or CN as well as Ensel.

Hi ya SD80MAC, would you happen to know the mile post for the siding switch there on the CSX Main? My time table printout shows Hartford as being mp CG68.8 and the siding switch is drawn slightly east (north) of there (CG68.7?). Thank you

I don't, but that sounds about right.
