Night crew returned to Cadillac at 0710 this morning. Nothing for TC that I could see.

AANR, you got some nice locations! Looks like they made a pick up of empty methanol cars in Kalkaska too.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: November 2020
Any idea of when they’ll go to Petoskey next? Is there a “normal” day they go to Petoskey or is it random?
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: November 2020
They arrived in Petoskey at 4:40 pm today, still switching cars.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: November 2020
Trips to Petoskey have been infrequent this year. Averaging once every three weeks. Trips to Elmira have been a little more frequent, around every other week. I'm certain some of this has been a result of covid, No set day, runs as needed. No set time, sometimes in the morning or in the case of today, early afternoon. Leave time from Cadillac has mostly been determined by the schedule being affected by track upgrades between Clare and Lake George.

4 units leading grain train south, about 87 cars, cleared Durand diamonds at 2031.

Traverse City run today. Should be 4 gons and 1 load of lumber coming up. Was about ready to leave Cadillac at 0900.
Edit: Only 3 of the 4 gons went up.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: November 2020
Got to see your train up here in T.C. about 1330 or so. They had already dropped off the gons and I caught them at Amerihart yard. My dog "Hershey" was helping watch the trains as well as a couple of other guys. One said he lives near the T.C. library and thought he'd see where these trains go. Didn't get to talk to the other railfan across the trail bridge but I saw a RR sticker on his car window. Hi there! -JimAANscaleRunner wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 9:22 amTraverse City run today.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: November 2020
Glad you got to see them. I know the guy with the RR sticker, his name is Matt. I had some business in TC today and happened to get done when they were coming back from Amerhart. Here's the video.Got to see your train up here in T.C. about 1330 or so. They had already dropped off the gons and I caught them at Amerihart yard.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates: November 2020
I am hoping to catch GLC on the line to Petoskey tomorrow... if I get lucky. If anyone down in Cadillac, or anywhere on the Petoskey line, sees them run that line tomorrow, let me know and post if you can! I have been trying to catch a train on this line for years and never get lucky.

383 and two other locos returned to Cadillac from Clare at 0720 with 46 cars. 383 should be leading when they head south again. Didn't catch the numbers on the other power.
