GLC is working Durand going southbound. Looks like two GLC painted geeps, couldn't get a good look at the power
Re: Michigan Shortline Updates: March
GDLK is sitting at Hugart with their lights on. Partially obscured, but it appears to be one of their 40s. My guess would be the evening roadfreight.
Edit: 4129 and 4xxx widecab elephant style switching Hugart at 9:25

Spotted Z127 Ready to leave Saginaw with the 5921 and what I thought was the 1164. They had a CSX Grain train on the headend of the train, this was about 1510
EDIT Clear Bridgeport, Heading southbound at 1545

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates: March
Timming is everything. Had to go to Menards and catch some local trains in Bay City today (just had to be done) Anyway caught HESR's 810 leaving Reese with 3866 for power, then off of I-75 I see LSRC's Bay City job working it's way through Crow Island power was 4302-1169. Caught HESR's 702 with 2668-2661 for power then the 740 job with 3838-3865 all trains were found from 10am to 12:30.
