ADBF 1758/1760 came north today with one boxcar for CN and picked up three boxcards from CSX for Michigan Packaging. I didn't chase them on return from CN so I don't know if they grabbed any scrap gons for Padnos or not.

No additional moves on Reid Machinery/Baker Street Spur today.

HESR got rid of the FRA train in Owosso to GLC.

JAIL has an Asplundh hi-rail NBD out of Mason as well as a crew from Saylor’s Railroad Welding in. I think they are replacing a crossing in Downtown Mason.

Great catch JT. On Hump Day, Lapeer is the place to be.

JAIL also ran to Reid Machinery on the Baker Spur for the remaining two gondolas. There’s four gons and a bulk head behind MI Packaging to take north to CSX tomorrow. The bulkhead is from Harris Rebar/Ambassador Steel.
