MDOT sitting at Kingsley Road in Kingsley this afternoon, 12:30-ish. Appeared to be inspecting the grade crossing, which is in very sad shape.
Consistently confused

OSTN-20 Northbound 329,383 17:06 at Zukey lake/Lakeland with a wave 👋🏼 and a long train. Maybe all the empties from my Nov 1st pictures judging by the graffiti?? Herd the southbound from work at 14:42 and looks like they were leaking corn, deer/raccoons will be happy🤣

At Ann Pere today, CSX's L305 dropped a cut for GLC in the Howell siding. On the transfer sat a massive cut, extending from Lucy Rd. past the I-96 overpass.
Presumably L305 will take this cut west, but I figured I would mention it given GLC's main was blocked at the time, with traffic between there and Osmer.

Heading to Owosso area on Friday morning the 24th from Muskegon. Any info on catching something within an hour drive of Owosso would be much appreciated. We would like to do a little offshoot exploring between catching some 1225 action.

In general I would think Durand is your best bet.

We will probably be hitting Durand, been there, done that many times over the years. I was leaning more specifically towards something on the GLC, HESR or some LSRC. Thanks

Ontn sb at the Ithaca bean plant at 1100. Looks like they may have just finished working it. I bet the train is pushing a mile long
