How much of GLC is still stick rail? It’s weird to me seeing such modern locos on stick rail.

Also missed an OSTN run with 383 solo, light power SB at Durand at 08:55 after CN M396 cleared.

as of 13:50 they are NB somewhere south of Howell with an NS unit train, sans run-thru power.

This loaded grain train went south yesterday afternoon.

A fourth unit train has been on the siding in Dundee. 90 cars for Oakley. Corn. It’s got the juice.

329/385/383 were NB into Durand around 12:55 earlier today. They had been stuck south of Ann Pere due to some fallen trees.

They’ve got a grain train at Osmer waiting for them to take to Oakley and another one sitting in Toledo.

It was a 90-car grain empty for The Andersons corn elevator in Oakley.

There’s now two more sitting in Toledo waiting to come north.
