I noticed the other day the tracks to letherer truss are blocked off east of McEwan. Does anyone know the story there?

MMRR delivered 115 loaded CHs to GLC on Tuesday. GLC took em down to Durand last night to hand back off to CN. These came into Durand last Monday AM on an X395.

Re: Great Lakes Central Updates May 2021
GLC went south through Howell at 18:00 with 383-384 on the head end and 74 cars. They only set off eight ash cars at Ann Pere, which were cars 4-11 in the consist. Train had a lot of tank cars, plus what looked liked many CSX & NSSX scarp tie cars that usually go to CSX on the rear of the train. Perhaps theses cars are now being interchanged with the Ann Arbor. instead, or, perhaps be set off at Ann Pere on the way back north. This would be unusual to have two set offs in one round trip.

ONTN today had lumber for TC and 2 gons for beacon
Re: Great Lakes Central Updates May 2021
1 lumber load it was at the end of the train (with a beacon ITFX car) but the lumber load could of been for Clare. Also on Thursdays inbound to Cadillac they brought in one ITFX beacon car. That makes 2 gons for beacon.
