Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - March 2023
Yep.
JAIL Z646 yesterday ran to Lansing w ADBF 821/822 and picked up 26 coils and 3 loaded centerbeams.
JAIL went south last night and was seen inbound to Mason early AM w 10-12 coils plus a handful of boxcars and two tanks.
Today they are at CN. A spotter yesterday saw the CN local R934 with 4 coils, one empty gondola and a couple of tank cars headed for the JAIL interchange. I drove by Ensel and they had three more loaded centerbeams and a couple of tanks to pickup today. Today they are using ADBF 822/ADBF 1751. 1751 is online.
Off to a busy week here in Lansing.

I was confused where MQT was at around 11am when I heard their first call. Standing in the cool air for 5 minutes with a bunch of rail screeching was fun for me. Oh well

Awoke at 4:15AM to nature's call. I heard the Elk EOT in Plainwell on the radio. Still there at 5:45 when I got out of the shower. Seems to be gone now.
Trails to Rails. Put the track back.
