Re: Shortlines Train Locations Updates - February 2024

Y297 (?) north of Ann Street around 6:15p switching Padnos. As noted on the Shortline thread, looks like 30 or so King Empties to pick up.

Gondola in the GRE yard, not sure where it would be going. MOW?
Haven't seen a gon on the GRE since Michigan Wire got their last cars in 2015-2016.
Upon further investigation, it s a PDNX tall sided gon. My uneducated guess is it got left on the wrong siding.

3 bay hoppers are for King, 4 bays for AMWAY. 3 tracks full of hoppers in the GRE yard today.
The 4 bays also could be for Poly, as they get plastic hoppers.
True. And AMWAY my get an occasional 3-bay.

GRE returned to GR. With about 25-30 empties. Then left them on the bridge, west of Turner, and went into the yard light. Probably needs to make some room to fit all the cars.

East of Turner, sorry. Left early and did not see the outcome.

GRE cleared out a lot of the yard about an hour ago. They stopped across the river and split the train and headed east. Still probably 15 cars on the river bridge and west.
Just returned WB light to pick up the remainder of the train.

Re: Shortline Train Location Updates - January 2024

Went by the GRE yard at Ann St., line of cars for the next EB, with a tank and hopper for AMWAY and around 15 loads for King. They’ll have quite the snowbank to plow through when they shove into Amway. At least 3 feet high on Fulton street. Not much room in Lowell for more cars, but King seems to k...
