They were also in TC today did they have two crews in Cadillac again?

I didn't hear them until around 1300, so more than likely only one crew.

[KingsleyRailFan]

What units did they send to TC today, and what customers did they serve? I've been inside at work all day and didn't even hear them go through.

[TC Man]

Went across both South Airport crossings yesterday at 7:30am- snow banks present. Went by both again a couple hours later, clearing a locomotive Went through. Went by Parsons about 10:30 am, clearly only a high rail Went through, at least as of 10:30am.

Since you're in Kingsley, look at a crossing today and tell me if you think is was a train vs hi rail.

They were in Petoskey today, arrived around 3:00pm and went back south around 5:00pm, took a bit longer than usual too do all the switching off cars because off blowing snow and very cold weather.

I have seen, and heard, GP35 390 this week to note that it has had a recent horn replacement. Similar in sound to what has been on 329 and 382 since GLC first received these two units. Have not seen this talked about but was wondering with 382 being down if the horn on 382 is now on 390, or perhaps another that has been in stock for years but not used.
