Hi-rail just passed my house in Kingsley, on the road. Might be out maintaining rails after the storm.

Word around Clare is the new construction across from the moose lodge is some sort of railroad facility. The theory I heard was a new home for the poly-plaza. Has anyone an actual idea what this is?

Will LTEX 310 be dropped off?
