Cadillac crew went north shortly before 1100 yesterday. Heard them come back into town around 1440. I'm assuming a quick Kalkaska trip. They were working Tufford Yard when I left town at 1545.

Bless her. They r off down here from what I was told. Idk man. Usually have day before and day of a holiday off and with the weekend it falls on a Friday.

If the crew was ordered last night at 23:30 say, they could’ve still been working as that’s managements way of getting around the day off thing.

Can confirm it was Kalkaska. Did not get a train on the TC branch at all that day.
Consistently confused
