Yesterday JAIl made a daylight run to Jackson. There was a transload on their yard tracks of ten gons of some iron or steel for a construction project.

This morning, the crew just hopped onto 1760 in Mason. 1758/1751 are not at the shed.

Yes. Second gon in a week! As a one-location operation they have a hard time getting scrap gons. ADBF’s new ownership/management has found success in finding them scrap gons.

Crew likes the move because they can go get lunch while they load the train. Lots of good food options down there within walking distance.

I've been hearing the Elk EOT device in Plainwell for quite a while. I don't think they are moving unless they made an Otsego trip.
