Re: Michigan Shortline Updates April 2013
Lake State 1174 had finished working Peavey Grain in Carrollton just before 8PM tonight, they headed back to Saginaw Yard lite power, upon moving through Mershon it looked as if they had to hand-line the switch to take the transfer track from north off of the HESR line to east across the river into the yard, at the time of this Lake State had some track maintainers out there talking with the crew.
Z127 had 1177 and 1162 with a short train clearing Nott Rd SB (South of Bridgeport, along Blackmar Rd.) around 8:30PM. I set out in hopes to catch 9519 leading, but Lake State decided to throw some trains my way instead. By the sounds of it 9519, 3868, and 2661 should be on a NB coal train tonight, as I type this I hear 3867 coming into town with the 701.

Only these three units on a loaded coal train? Were they struggling to handle it?penn central wrote:Heads up Bay City coal headed your way on the HESR, 9519 in the lead then the 3868 then the 2661 trailing, They cleared the Mershon diamonds about 15 minutes ago.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
