Re: CSX Train Location Updates: 5/24/13.
Marquette gp38 switching the elevator in newayo, moving cars between tracks. I foolishly forgot to look for a loco number, so if someone else knows, I'd love to have it for my records...
BTW, 4 cars, 3 tanks and a CH, setoff in Grant, and 4 CHs parked at the elevator in Fremont on the MS.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates May 2013
Just a few Observations from the Saginaw area. Peavy/Gavilion grain in Carrollton is having some track work done. Looks to be mostly ties and ballast on the river side so far. Also see a few rails there too.
On the south end the old C&O building used for the GM Malleable iron foundry crews has been torn down and replaced with a parking lot.

Rare Sunday GLC action in Cadillac. 397 brought in poles for McBain and a string of sand hoppers around 11 AM. Nice week-end surprise.

Re: Michigan Shortline Updates May 2013
Few trains in Saginaw:
HESR 740? With the NECR 3852, and what I believed to be 2014 was working Gennesse yard.
LSRC Z127 With more CSX Power looked ready to head south soon. CSXT 113 and a YN3 ES40DC Was the power.
Anyone know why LSRC is using CSX power like crazy?
