GLC 398 and 399 left Cadillac this morning around 1030 with 5 sand hoppers.
399 returned at 1:40 PM with a centerbeam, a plastics hoppers, 2 flats for Manton and a string of sand hoppers.
From what I've seen in the last few days, there should be 2 loads of lumber, 4 empty flats, 2 plastics hoppers and a tank car waiting to go north.

They went north of the diamond earlier today and took last nights cars to Lowell. They appeared to be setting out the outbounds on my way home.MQT3001 wrote:17:15 EDT: GRE moving around at Fuller Jct. The 24 is out and moving CHs around, wonder if they're prepping to head east?

Why do some Michigan updates get moved into the Michigan Shoreline thread?

Re: Marquette 10-24-13
Any update having to do with a shortline railroad like Marquette or the Lake State, unless their trains are running on CSX rails, generally will get moved to the Michigan Shortline Updates thread if they weren't originally posted there.
