The GLC departed Osmer tonight at 830pm. 398 and 397 led a train of about 40 cars, an assortment of sand, grain, tank, and what looked to be a couple rotary dump hopper cars full of either coal or coke? I would assume they would be coke because of the plant in Cadillac, but they sure looked like coa...

This really isn't much of an update, but the Annie ran straight from Milan to Osmer last night and met the GLC around midnight. The Annie brought a 60 car grain train, and the GLC handed off a 91 car consist of grain and gons.

How many trains does the NS actually run over the Wabash...I'm always hard pressed to find actual NS trains on the line (besides locals)

Great shots! how often do they work the mill?

Has much grain started moving on the GLC? haven't heard of any unit trains.

I thought I had read somewhere on here that Sara Lee in TC was seriously considering shipping via rail? maybe this has something to do with that?

I miss 38J/39J lol always had interesting power

I've read that the Eagle mine only has a lifespan of about 8 years...after these 8 years I wonder if they will try and ship ore from elsewhere to the Humboldt mill, or if the traffic will dry up all together?

I'm not positive but I'm fairly sure that the curve in Dexter is the tightest on the MI line.

So then the Jackson-Kazoo turn will be on top of the Jackson-Battle Creek turn and the Jackson-Albion turn? seems like things could get hairy between Jackson and Albion with 6 freights and 6 amtks a day.

You still like trains?

lmao yeah man, I lurk more nowadays

pretty cool to see them sticking up like that, but not so fun to drive over

This could be great news.

Does NS still get any AutoRack traffic out of Wayne?

Where exactly is this yard located and is it still used?, I know it is somewhere in the Marquette Range. what was it used for?. Completely unrelated, is Antoine yard in Ironwood still in use?

Who are the active shippers on that line? I know of the plant in Munising.

That was the line I was looking for, the more modern one. Thanks for your help, specifically Standard Railfan, who seems to have answers for all of my UP questions

Thanks!
