GRE 2104 switching Ann St. Yard putting its train together to go east later.
Re: Shortline Updates February, 2021
Unless they magically didn't bust through the snow banks on Kulross Ave in Ada, then this is the first time they ran this week.
Re: Shortline Updates February, 2021
Yup. Plenty of snow busting photo opportunities today on the GRE. Wish I could have been out there to catch them heading to Lowell.

Re: Shortline Updates February, 2021
umm...the spur doesn't go into Nugent Sand anymore. Maybe they were just switching cars around the few tracks that are behind House of Hobbies in Roosevelt Park?
