LSRC Z127 getting ready to head south i didn't stick around to see how big he was going to be, Just got out of work and a hot meal sounded better. But he does have five engines up front 5921 leading the 2052 and two of the grey GP40's and the 1164, Grain train is on the head end. Saw this in Saginaw. At the Janes Street grade crossing.

GLC train OSTN is currently working the CSX interchange in Howell. Looks like they are going to head north afterwards. Two GP38-2s for power, no numbers, sorry.

Does OSTN = Owosso Turn North

I've been told that OSTN is the "Osmer Turn".

today's HESR 702 had 2661 and 5492, thus 5492 and 2661 will be on the 701 and more than likely on the midland trains.

Looks like there is some MOW work on the HSER line. I saw a spread of MOW equipment parked at the Peavy Elevator, the former ADM elevator.

I also see that LSRC is replacing/reconnecting the Washington St/M13 crossing into Wabash

The GLC is in Durand right now working the yard.

[TCtrainguy17]

One of GLC's ex TSBY GP35's was north bound in traverse city today at about 1400 with one loaded center beam. Didn't catch a number and was on my way to work so couldn't chase.

This isn't exactly a moving train update, but if you're looking for HESR power:

3838 & 3826 (both CORP) are in Bad Axe, at the engine house.

3867 & 9712 are in Reese, southeast of the diamond.

No power is at West Reese (Arthur).
