The other thread has been running since March. The beginning of the month is a logical time to start a new one so for now we'll see if you guys post enough to make it a monthly thread.Evan wrote:There is already a LSRC/HESR/GLC Thread and its not this one. no need to make a new one.

It does confirm they are running roughly the same schedule as last year though...so it's sorta relevantYpsiAmtrakBoy wrote:AARR wrote:So now we can post when we don't see or expect to see a trainMQT3001 wrote:No NB train into Alpena this morning, as expected.

Evan next month you can start the thread just be early next month like in the morning the first day. I chased LSRC southbound Z127 to Flint today for power he had the 4300 in the lead 5921, and the 1177 he had 156 cars no grain train all mixed pretty neat at least 25 loads of scrap. and some empty LP gas tanks coming out of storage. 22 of them to be exact.Evan wrote:There is already a LSRC/HESR/GLC Thread and its not this one. no need to make a new one.

LSRC made it into Alpena around 6:30 EDT this morning. Grandparents report the train into town nearly every morning around 6:30, with the southbound leaving shortly after 17:00 EDT

LSRC 800 southbound with the train from Alpena tonight. Spotted in Blue w/ white strips on the nose. 17 cars. It took 3.5 seconds for each car to clear the crossing, half the time of summer 2010 (7 seconds per 40ft car).

Update on that grain train, he is headed for Auburn now, was by my house on the Midland Line just departing town about 20 min ago. I believe they changed crews at North Union St from earlier.
