Great Trip Report CRD! A few questions:
- Does LSRC work the Port Huron line any other days than Sunday?
- The CSX train into Port Huron had five short covered hoppers. Were those buffers or revenue cars?
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Word is Lake State will be working Port Huron for the next 3 Sundays in September. Then after that is to be determined. With Domtar closed and the only 2 active customers being CDW and Dunn Paper, perhaps once a week running is all that is currently needed.

CSX set off some tanks in the CSX yard in Port Huron before going down the PH&D that were behind the covered hoppers. Its likely those covered hoppers could have been buffers, but 2wouldnt only one Covered Hopper be needed as a buffer? The long ethanol trains always only have 1 car as a buffer. Anywhere on the PH&D that would utilize covered hoppers? Cargill Maybe?
