09:42 - GLC is SB thru Owosso by the SRI cam with NS 4096/NS 4445 and another 85-car loaded grain train from Oakley for AARR/Osmer

Hearing them leave Cadillac for Clare at 1135.

12:32 - NS led grain train southbound over Grand River in Howell.
Thru Chilson at 12:54 and passing Zukey Lake at 13:14. What is their symbol?

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

ONTN with 382/385/399 NB outta Owosso at 11:30

Hearing them leave Cadillac towards Clare at 1130.

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.

NB OSTN with 383 running LHF solo and an empty 85-car NS-system unit train for The Andersons' Oakley corn elevator.

396 and 395 leaving Cadillac for Clare at 1330. Looks like they ran to Kalkaska yesterday.

395 and 396 return to Cadillac from Clare at 1500.

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.

GLC SB through Durand at 20:31 on 08/25. 399, 382, and 329. Took headroom on the Port Huron Wye before departing.

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.

GLC NB through Durand at 06:31 on 08/26. 329/382/399 with a long train of CSXT hoppers. Some with various CSX logos, some with Chessie cat logo, some saying Family Lines System, and a few others.

Sounds like railroad ties for Viking Energy in McBain.

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.
