Hearing GLC SB in Howell at 1916. L305 is currently working at Ann Pere so they will have to wait for them to be in the clear.
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

GLC was on the Middleton Branch overnight pulling some loaded hoppers.

In other news, They took delivery of almost 200 covered hoppers yesterday between an afternoon G886 and the G886 overnight.

These cars are for Shepherd, Rosebush and Oakley this time.

I'd assume they did. That's where I've always seen them go in the past.
