Sure as heck wasn't TC. Tracks were snowcovered all day. I would've noticed too, since I'm in a building next to the tracks with a window open.AANscaleRunner wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 12:21 pmNot 100% sure, but sounded like northbound out of Cadillac around 1030.

GLC hi rail was in TC today as well as a pickup with a plow (though we've lost most snow in TC, sounds like areas like Kingsley still have enough where they showed back snowbanks from crossings. So betting on a train Friday up here.
