13:40 - OSTN is NB at MP 58 with 329 solo and 60 cars

I'm guessing 329 isn't headed to Peaker, as the post from the end of September thought.

15:50 - OSTN NB at Pitt Junction. Not lined onto CN yet.

396 and 399 leaving Cadillac towards Clare approximately 1000.

Darn it. I was an hour early.

399 and 396 return to Cadillac from Clare at 1645.

329/391 were inbound on OSTN to Owosso around 21:30 last night. Spotted on the cam taking headroom around 22:00.

Middleton report today. Unit train of corn being loaded by MAC crew's last couple of day's. GLC crew on site in Perrinton doing mobile repairs on some hoppers by the looks of thing's. MAC should have it finished today,or tomorrow morning I would think. Some random fertilizer hoppers,and tank's of liquid fertilizer are near the dry fertilizer building waiting.

Cstn working mcbain currently. Looks like they've already almost loaded the solo beam that's been dropped off. I can't see much about the train in the dark. They're currently working viking 2049

Headlights looking east from 127 at 1336. Looks as though the crossing is about to be redone and more lights added

OSTN-5.2 southbound at Zukey lake/Lakeland with 3 engines and a decent size train

Edit. OSTN-5.1 went by at 04:50 this morning southbound, and went back north at 09:30am but didn’t see those engines either Southbound 10mins before my alarm northbound herd from work at Lakeland

The second SB was 391/395/385 with a grain train from MAC in Middleton

Does anyone know if the GLC ran OSTN today (Sunday). While in Howell today I crossed the tracks at Michigan Ave and noticed a yellow over red indication for the CSX tracks heading east. I decided to head to AnnPere and see if anything was going on there and saw only cars on the interchange track (nothing on the passing siding). Singals at the diamond were red.

Wouldn't a yellow over red in downtown Howell indicate a stop for the next signal (end of siding near AnnPere)?

Cstn here working mcbain. I can't see them from here so no accounting of cars yet. 2 empty beams dropped at biewer, no pole cars today. 1450

10:50 - OSTN SB into Durand with 383/382

14:05 - OSTN SB thru Lakeland/Zukey Lake with 383/382

OSTN-9 northbound 382,383 18:27 at Zukey lake/Lakeland. Friendly wave and quite the variety of cars, csx,ns, old Hampton co-op Nebraska, Union Pacific, BNSF at the end
